Precautionary
Inspection.
What does that mean – "We’re going to have an inspection to see if we need an inspection"?
Precautionary inspection means that the course is currently fit for racing but the weather forecsast indicates that it might not be at the time of racing.
"heads are turned for home" – of course they bloody are
"round the clubhouse turn" – as far as I’m aware, Kempton, Lingfield etc. don’t have a chuffing clubhouse
"horse x has got a squeak"
"horse x is also of interest"
which ones don’t have a squeak or aren’t of interest, do the stewards know?
When the finish of a race is described and the horses "ran on"
Oh and edited to add – "wins the races"

Held up to get the trip,
We all know by racing 10 lengths behind the leader means you run 2 furlongs shorter.

Musselburgh does!

Kempton does
I like that ‘precautionary inspection’ one someone posted. Absolutely meaningless.
If they inspected then it was a flipping inspection!
Highly commended is Channel 4 Jim McGrath’s "He stays longer than the mother-in-law", although this is, strictly, barred as its meaning is clear.
Are you suggesting Jims batting for the other Clubhouse Crusty?

Kingfisher, you are so naughty. When I said that, at the time I genuinely meant that it was obvious from the saying that it meant the horse stayed a long time.
I didn’t dare add any other bits, even though I would have loved to have done so. Political correctness won’t allow me (and fear of having the forces of Hell unleashed upon me for saying the unmentionable).Highly commended is Channel 4 Jim McGrath’s "He stays longer than the mother-in-law", although this is, strictly, barred as its meaning is clear.

I think "mincing" might be the operative word, to be honest.
