Best Handicap race

[Refuse To Bend]

Cant say I have a favourite handicap but any race above 12f whether handicap or not doesn’t overly appeal to me, maybe because I have to suffer longer knowing my horse is not going to win. Do like a sprint handicap, less suffering but no particular favourite.

The more I know the less I understand.

Ayr Gold Cup , richest handicap in Europe …. and the straighest , guaranteed Dandys horses always ran to form , Funfaire Wane being the prime example

I particularly like any race with the word Gold in it 👍

We’re all handicapped in strange ways…

As for me, I’ll back anything on four legs, and if it’s got hooves attached I will put more on !

I have lost the fraud title of late – but is it a bit unpopular to say ..

“I simply do not remember your honour. the grapefruit and orange were stuck to my person as I left the shop ”

I do not have a notion of what race I like or used to like, handicap or otherwise – they are all the same to me. I occasionally notice a horse if it breaks my models but I do not follow named horses I just make a mental note. We all do different things I suppose.

As for betting on everything that moves that post above was a bit of a leg pull.
A few may remember my educational tale about the fox and the chickens. The sly old fox visited the hen house on several evenings and only ever moved forward when conditions were near to perfect and risk was minimal.The state of the farmers house including any lights on was one thing – the nervousness of the chickens another. What I omitted to mention in the telling of the tale was the fact there was a tortoise secretly watching the fox, the farmers house, and the chicken house, and he was hidden in undergrowth. I am often that tortoise, I could be the fox – but I am very far from being the chicken. In a nutshell I am an observer with a very controlled appetite.

I’d imagine our opinions are directly correlated with our punting success in the races

I do enjoy the chester cup but I’m bound to say that having backed 4 of the last 5 winners

I hate sprint handicaps (other than ones in August/September featuring summerghand) the graded sprints are tough enough let alone the handicaps with 25 runners all running off different weights and not knowing who is trying today and who is on the right side of the track. You could back 15 in then and not get a place.
