I’m surprised that almost a quarter-of-a-century after the first All-Weather meeting in this country, some still regard it as not ‘real’ racing and that it should not occur during the summer.
Times have changed. It’s here to stay at all times of year.

I’ll freely admit that I look down upon "all weather" racing and that’s because that, even after a quarter of a century, it is all low-grade dross. If there were more than a handful of Pattern events on the artificial surfaces, it would be more interesting to those of us who follow horse racing as a sport rather than as a betting medium.
I still see no need whatsoever for AW racing during the flat turf season; surely these crappy meetings can’t be contributing much to the levy and just drain from already overstretched racing funds?
I don’t care for summer AW either and think it sits uneasily amongst the turf meetings but it’s as well to point out that if the BHA in their wisdom wanted to maintain the current bloated fixture list it’s likely the turf courses couldn’t cope with the wear and tear if all the summer AW were to be transferred to them
Some like it, I ignore it: simple really
Alternatively, Drone, these fixtures could be scrapped completely and the money saved redistributed to other meetings instead, increasing the abysmal prize money at some other courses.
To be honest, the riff-raff have never quite got over this:
Nice report by E I Addio, our man in the Morris Ital with girly mag and yorkie bar
Neasden FC in the next round then. Ron Knee, Baldy Pevsner, Sid & Doris beware
Wish I was called Morton Titterton

Far too sensible, this is British Racing plc we’re discussing
Drone
Morton Titterton (aka
The Tit
) fell out of the assistant manager position at highflying Leamington FC and was forced to make the move southwards (in every sense) to Stratford’s new million-squid Tiddington base. Fortunately Sniffer was around to assist Cadsey, until Cadsey himself got the boot shortly afterwards. Hollers is now in charge. Obviously.
Some say The Tit never recovered from the Racing Club Warwick debacle and there was clear evidence of this when he threw in the Stratford towel at the end of last year citing a bad back. And a bad back four.
Meanwhile Racing Club have plummeted through the leagues although their attendance – Derek – is holding up. Ashen-faced sumpremo Clarkey, who took over from Curly O’Callaghan last year, is promising a Midland Combination blitz in 13/14.
Hope that clears things up.
Sadly, all of the above is completely true.

I understood that it was in fact a tumour in his back that forced his resignation from Stratford Town.

Lovely stuff Largey. Like those 0-100 27f handicap chases at Warwick the Midland Combination is the life-blood and heart-and-soul of soccer: live it, breathe it, dream ityours
