    Ricky I totally agree
    I never ever bet on it now and don’t watch it.
    If that is what racing turns in to then I will no longer follow it and I have followed racing for the best part of 40 odd years.
    You correctly say it was brought in as a filler if NH racing was off in winter and it was never meant for summer.
    It reminds me of the computer racing that they show and to my horror people actually bet on and study form WTF is that all about. The lunatics have taken over the asylum.
    I am with you.

    Agree with ya. There again, I cant buy a bloody winner anywhere right now.
    When only the AW is on, I dont even switch on. Its like a ‘rained off’ day for me.

    I don’t like it when it’s really rank, but low-grade AW stuff can be good for finding winners. I gave up on jump racing when I realised, sadly, that over three consecutive winters I won more at Wolverhampton and Kempton. I don’t see what’s wrong with it. I would prefer better class turf racing. We seem to get weeks and weeks of **** punctuated by Saturdays where there is too much to get a grip on.

    I quite look forward to winter evenings of Wolves and Kempton. I settle to the form with a feeling I have a chance but when I settle to the form for saturday jumps I know in my heart of hearts I’m far more likely to lose than win, or that I’m going to find something that will be costly to follow before it wins – by which time I’ve lost patience. Weekday jumps don’t offer much value if you ask me.

    Bookies like it AW cos it’s cheap and plentiful and they know musg will stand in the shop after a day’s losing and lose a bit more.
