The Betfred.com Temple Stakes (group 2) Haydock 3.10 has prize money of £100,000, £56,770 to the winner has attracted a poor fields considering the prize money.
Owners and trainers moan about the cash on offer but when there is a big purse, this happens.

Sorry that is total nonsense. Amongst the declarations are :-
A double Group One winner
Another Group One winner
A Group 2 winner
Three double Group Three winners
Two other Group Three winners
and Listed winners.The fact that the going is very heavy and most horses don’t act on it isn’t anyone’s fault.

This is an utterly stupid argument – are you suggesting I should be running my 10-y-old stayer, or perhaps the 5-y-old hurdler would be more appropriate?
Unless you have the good fortune to own a top class 5F sprinter, why would you invest £850 in entry fees, gambling on a small field or a poor quality race at that stage. At the time of entry, Amour Propre and Overdose were expected to run in this, so paying to enter a 90 rated handicapper would have seemed a total waste of money.
Perhaps you could let me know if you spot a weak race before the entries are made – that would be helpful!

What top owner and trainer bothered to sent a horse to the post?
At least four of the animals to post have won on firm/ good-firm ground.
Surely there are good heavy going horses at this distance?
Does the sponsor get a good deal in racing?
Can one of the mods please change Tom’s name to Victor Meldrew at their earliest convenience. Many thanks.

Tom
Can you suggest any particular horses with ‘top’ owners and trainers which may have run in the race?
Perhaps then we could analyse why they didn’t have any runners.

Racing has to beware…
In this credit-crunch era sponsers may decide that they get better value for their money elsewhere.

Rory,
I think you’ve missed a few clues here:
1. Poster is absolutely convinced he’s right and ignores all other views
2. Poster constantly repeats the same argument
3. Poster declines to answer any questions put to him
It’s not Victor Meldrew, it’s Gordon Brown ………

BBC has pulled right back on horse racing apart from a few big feature races.
CH4 took a long time to decide if it was going to continue with racing.
Racing is losing is appeal with the general public and next to desert will be the sponsors.
Bets on other sports are closing in on on bets on horse racing.
