To be fair, in the old days, when World of Sport and Grandstand covered racing they were part of a sports programme, which switched to Racing shortly before the race and back away from it shortly after the race finished. So we didn’t have all the jibber jabber and an army of presenters and...

So this is why the viewing figures have fallen!

She is, and doesn’t hold back from asking difficult questions.

Ramazan raced off 105 when 8th, Btn 3.75 lengths, on unsuitable GF ground in last years Stewards Cup. Might not even get in off 92 (would have last season). 103 when beaten .75l in Great St Wilfred, possibly on wrong side. Think that may be his first target this year. Maybe then Ayr Gold Cup...

Rant - might be a good title for a new thread. I suspect it might be a busy one!

Ramazan 92, I like.

Dump Cumani, she's going downhill and her voice is becoming ever more grating. Get Jinnyj in instead. Would jinnyj still be able to run our forum competitions if snapped up by ITV? and would Francesca then be available to take over if jinnyj was too busy?

I think it’s a bit simplistic to interpret viewing figures being down with something being wrong with the product. As well as Friday and Saturday viewers increasing, one of the key stats indicated that the % audience share across the week increased from 9.72% to 11.7%. This is indicative of...

All good points, but might struggle to get agreement to point 4.

Fair points, but on balance I'd leave it as it is. The large fields are a great spectacle and disappointing connections of a 3rd of the field by reducing numbers to 20 may not be a good way of attracting owners to the sport. Of course, before 2002 there were still 5 consecutive days of racing...

Isn’t that the comment after every Korker race, apart from the finishing position? I did notice he did finish very strongly though.

Agree completely with this. I preferred the old system. For anyone interested, the BHA General Instructions for Race Programmes now includes the following instructions for 2yo races: no two year old may run before The Flat Season commences in any year: • more than five furlongs before the...

From his website: Charlie has always had an affinity with horses. After leaving school, he immediately began running his own full-time eventing yard, achieving significant success at both national and international levels, including being shortlisted for the GBR junior and young rider eventing...

They are Full brothers.

I’d be a pretty useless paddock judge, but I’ve always thought this logic to be sound and have also followed it to some success.

Very unlucky. Hopefully, it will be 15 winners next year (or maybe Goodwood if that is too long to wait). I know we all get runs like this, but it would be interesting to know how profitable we would all be if we could back our horses to be second or to finish one place outside of whatever the...

Well done again Coach Miguel

Well done TFT, you’ve done a great job. Many congratulations in particular to Coach Miguel, that’s very good scoring, in what I thought was a tough week. You were kept up to your work by excellent efforts, in particular by Frankel and Desert Orchid, but kept on strongly to land the spoils. Good...

That little interlude was funny. I’ve never really been able to take Luke Harvey seriously ever since, many years ago he was featured in a Channel 4 documentary about the tough life of a NH jockey. I can’t remember (closely related to the name of one of the best horses he ever rode, Country...
