Time fly’sJanuary 3, 2013 at 10:29 #425076I’d like us to get to January 2014 with the same amount of courses we have now.

I think by Jan 2014 we will have lost two more but regained Great Leighs

One of them will I believe be Worcester, which I’m surprised survived the last ARC cull.
The other is a "independent" course which I would rather not name.

The other is a "independent" course which I would rather not name.Worcester will almost certainly be a goner before too much longer, I suspect.
I presume that yet more serious damage will have been caused at the course by the recent flooding of the nearby River Severn.
The repairs that will be necessary, running in to thousands and thousands of pounds no doubt, will make it even less profitable, I would have thought.
The other likely courses to close would be Hexham, Leicester or Newton Abbot, I would suspect.
We’re often told that Cartmel is highly profitable so we might be able to rule out that one, based on previous discussions on this forum.
January 3, 2013 at 18:45 #425113I would love to see some serious questions being asked from within the sport about the overproduction of racehorses as well as the provisions set up for retired racehorses.
January 3, 2013 at 19:29 #425121More hoses running on their merits.
January 3, 2013 at 20:12 #425128More punters realising the game is not bent and actually studying the form book.

Quiet clearly you’ve never been in the centre of the parade ring discussing tactics with connections, if you think it’s all squeaky clean the you need your head checking out.

Interesting Ginger, do you think every horse is trying every day it runs?
My opinion has always been that in the better races (Graded company) there’s obviously far more chance of everything running on its merits than a 20 runner maiden hurdle, where handbrakes are often never let down.
January 3, 2013 at 22:00 #425143The phrase ”studying form ” invokes a sense of pity.
January 3, 2013 at 22:06 #425144A Grand National free from all injury, fatalaty and bad publicity.
January 3, 2013 at 22:11 #425145A Triple Crown.
A crop of 3yos that don’t all get retired by the end of the year.
(These two wishes are probably mutually exclusive)

#artwiculate
is a Twitter game whereby one has to come up with an interesting/amusing definition of a particular word.
Yesterday’s word was
Proletariat
which an American chap defined as "A working class horse that won the Triple Crown."

Totally agree with you THM, the better the quality of racing the more likely they are to be running "on their merits. Which is why we both stick to the better races.
Woolfie is right… it would be nice if every horse in every race is "trying". Didn’t mean it to sound like i was getting at him.
I am just saying it would be equally as nice if more punters realised the game is far straighter than some believe it to be… If punters would only improve their own knowledge, buy a good form book, study hard and (dare I say it) have some knowledge of value/percentages – they just might make a profit from betting. But it’s easier just to say "the game’s bent".
