Just watch the video. If there is anything you disagree with please feel free.Feel free to elaborate?
If there is anything boring I apologise but as you would have heard none of it before how can it be boring?Another betfair forum bore..
I would like to add the video is objective, no opinions, no emotions and although Timeform are Frankel's biggest fan I have used them and their positions as a third party to avoid any dispute.Feel free to elaborate?
Hi Ian. This is a forum, regularly frequented I guess by grownups. If you do not have an opinion you don't have to write in to tell us you do not have an opinion. It sort of defeats the object. But, if you are under 12, I apologise because you would not know that and you should be out on the playground.As Frankel and Brigadier Gerard are never actually going to meet, so I will never have chance to have a bet on it (even if I wanted to) I don't actually care.
Throw in the fact that, like many here, I've been following racing a lifetime - and am perfectly capable of forming my own independent opinion without consulting anyone else's material - and I'd need to be trapped in a lift with Walsworth and Maurice simultaneously berating me for using self-service supermarket checkouts (and thus apparently being directly responsible for the national rate of unemployment) before I'd consider watching a YouTube video on this subject as light relief.
But then I wouldn't want to go to a Taylor Swift concert either - and loads of people seem to like her - so maybe you'll be inundated.
Try not to apologise for being disrespectful Desert, then be disrespectful. I don't know if you read my threads but I did say 'If you have any questions or any points, with regard to the content of the video, please ask". I am not sure you understood what I meant but what I didn't say was "if you have any inane questions to ask that make you look silly then blast away". Well at least you have achieved that goal. And that was your second error on this thread in trying to attempt a credible dialogue.Without wishing to disrespect Brigust in anyway...
I will admit I gave it a go, hoping it would maybe be something along the lines of the 'virtual' Grand National (which even C4 appears to have binned, thankfully) just to see what some form of AI might conclude.
It was shaping up as one person offering their opinion backed up by videos of some of the races so I gave up after about 20 seconds, a wee bit disappointed with myself for letting it get that far.
Like others, I know my own opinions and can access the videos any time I want on Youtube so I'm sorry, Brigust, but your video isn't for me.
You don't think when someone says they gave up after 20 seconds and was disappointed for letting it get so far isn't being disrespectful then I am afraid we will have to agree to disagree Barjon. Fair and balanced comment is not a lot to ask for on an adult forum.So far as I see the only one being disrespectful, brigust, is you in your responses.
I am sorry you feel that way Ian when I guess everyone who comes on here is trying to educate readers whether it is with tipping information or weather information because that is the very nature of a forum. I am not offering anything just saying I have produced a video should anyone be interested. What you should definitely be bothering about is that the information in the video is something you will never have heard or seen before from any of the racing tv outlets or the racing press. That is what you should be worried about, being treated like a mushroom by the horseracing media. Why do you think Racing UK did a comparison between Frankel and Secretariat, a US dirt horse, instead of Brigadier Gerard who was voted racehorse of last century and is the almost the identical twin to Frankel on form?I'm not actually bothered what anyone says about me, but Maurice is an absolute gentleman who was simply being honest about his personal opinion.
Being "adult" and making "fair and balanced comment" isn't defined as always saying and writing what you want to hear and read and it could be argued that what's really disrespectful is coming on a racing forum and assuming you are in a position to educate others about the relative merits of Frankel, Brigadier Gerard - or anything else, come to that.
Hmm. This is a forum you know Ian? Where people exchange ideas and discuss certain issues pertaining to that forum. In this case a horseracing forum.Don't presume to tell me (or anyone) what I (or they) should or shouldn't be bothered about, there's a good chap.
It's not your place, or anybody's place.
You don't know anything about me, my background or level of knowledge - in point of fact I'm about as interested in what the racing media think about anything as I am in what you think about anything - i.e. not at all.
What people like you who eternally obsess about who historically was best - whether it's Frankel, Brigadier Gerard, Secretariat or anyone else. - never seem to understand is that some simply don't share your fixation with a hypothetical "race" that will never happen and that's their prerogative.
Or even if they do, that they are capable of forming independent opinions without your "help."
Christ, and some think I'm patronising and condescending - you could give lessons on both.![]()
