    Dont bet on the all weather , its full of cheats , banned , and soon to be banned , (and allowed back )

    Please get sense and realise that racing for 2k per race , has to have casualties ….financial ones ….namely your dosh , you may as well give 5 grand to charity now , as by the time the aw season ends you will have lost that much on non triers , and downright cheats

    Will you listen ……hell no , that would be too hard

    Remember , the bookies are waiting , the coups are already being lined up ….sadly your hard earned is needed to make it all happen , pay everyone ….except you …the aw mug punter

    Ill only say this once

    THE AW IS BENT ….REMEMBER THAT

    IMO

    I’ve got to disagree with you Ricky. It’s great entertainment, competitive racing and I’ve always found it to be a very underrated betting medium. I think some people just look at a group of horses rated 46-55, think they’re

    too good

    for it, don’t put enough effort in and declare the whole shebang bent when they do their money.

    Southwell was the launching pad for recent Group 2 scorer Take Cover and Wolverhampton could well be the starting point for some Godolphin Dubai Carnival prospects this year. Maybe not now that Meydan have sacked off their Tapeta surface though…

    Just look at today’s card at Wolves. Plenty of summer turf meetings can’t compete with this fare from a class perspective. There was a perfectly good maiden race, a class 4 handicap full of progressive types and old favourites, then a very solid class 5 handicap to round off the card.

    Keep the sand racing coming please! :)

    From

    Wikipedia

    :

    "The lady doth protest too much, methinks"

    is a quotation from the 1602 play Hamlet by William Shakespeare.

    It has been used as a figure of speech, in various phrasings, to indicate that a person’s overly frequent or vehement attempts to convince others of something have ironically helped to convince others that the opposite is true, by making the person look insincere and defensive.

    Conventional form study will not unearth AW winners, it demands a solid source of genuine information or some inventive examination of trainers and their intentions.

    No one will make a brass farthing on the AW this coming season without recourse to the above.

    Completely agree with The Young Fella following the AW programme can certainly be interesting, entertaining and rewarding and it’s not beset by the current curse of turf flat racing: endless non-runners.

    1. Good, and I’ll remember that

    2. Oh no!

    3. If you think the A/W is difficult to crack you want to see the over-round in the Czech Republic!

    I’ll work my way steadily round Europe first

    There seems to be a divergence
    of opinion. Is that not what
    forums are about ?
    Or in the present
    difficult climate
    might we better say
    we agree to differ ? :mrgreen:

    The all weather tracks have
    different surfaces – that
    is plain daft and grass should

    As Ricky’s so generously started yet another thread on the same subject I’ll reiterate my opinion:

    I don’t bet on the AW very often, not because it is bent, but because it is a way of specialising in another field. You can’t hope to be good at everything.

    There is some good racing on the AW, it’s the

    poor

    quality stuff where skulduggery plays a part and I’d advise not to bet, but that’s the same with poor quality

    turf

    racing…

    Although having said that, am sure some TRFers are better at finding the value in poor quality races than me…

    …So carry on everybody.
