Ascot owners

[clivexx]

Is it just me and admittedly I avoid the interviews whenever I can. I just watch the races but a question

Why do so many of the owners interviewed seem to be a bit thick? Another lot just now

How the f did they make the cash to splash on these pricey animals when they are clearly plankheads?

And then we get harry redknapp. But he always sounds like he knows his stuff

Probably half-cut most of them by that stage in the afternoon I’d guess

One of racings great ongoing mysteries is how so many wealthy people behave with all the financial nous of Council Estate benefits claiming chavs when it comes to ownership.

For sure, a few are gormless, chinless, beneficiaries of inherited wealth, but a good many have made fortunes in business.

And yet they seem to have had frontal lobotomies before becoming owners and are easy prey for the racing financial cesspit of: breeders, bloodstock agents, trainers, racing managers, pin hookers and all the other assorted people on the gravy train.

That said, and to quote the late Harry Heymer, former racing editor of The Guardian, who was fond of disturbing expressions, I’m “tighter than a cow’s **** in autumn” and I can safely say I could be a billionaire and I still wouldn’t invest a penny in racehorse ownership and putting money in the pocket of some ex-public schoolboy with a trainer’s licence.

I hope to win the internet for this utter rant.
