    Hello,

    I am a bit disturbed that the way QFS won today that the authorities have not considered an enquiry into it’s dramatic improvement within the similar competitive races at more or less the the same mark, all within 21 days,, and also the reduced odds returned, thats should be a 16/1 shot in my book, and probably other peoples books…

    Just an observation………. :?

    The Betfair forum is left at the lights.

    What was wrong with the horse’s form that made it such a surprise?

    Hello,
    Why the F888 has THE BETFAIR Forum become a cancerous growth within this Forum…

    The guy has a point…

    I have been a member, (and probably one of the founder fathers) of this forum for some years, but now we seem to have developed an "intelligensia" that compares anyone’s comments to a "Betting Site".. :?

    This forum, under Daylight, was an informative, swapping of information and, ost importantly, FUN… after your absurd referral to "..a betting site…" , which appears all too often on this now "exclusive" site… all casual viewers and posters may as well **** OFF!!

    regards,

    doyley

    I think today’s result for QFS was all about the distance.

    Check out how it’s been finishing it’s races at 6F – nothing dodgy about it.

    more or less the the same mark

    …but not more or less the same trip. This was the first time he’d been tried at 5f since his debut, 25 starts and over two years previously, so I presume Richard Fahey believed there potentially untapped potential at the trip if he was made enough use of – and I think he probably was.

    It’s more of an advertisement of the trainer’s ability to guess and guess right than of anything more sinister. Remember also that Mr Fahey was switching Handsome Falcon to an artificial surface for the first time in 31 career starts when he dotted up at Wolverhampton at the start of the month, earning an RPR 5lb and more than anything else this year (or ever, come to think of that). I’d be hopeful of more of the same from the gelding if he returns to Dunstall Park this Saturday.
