    Are you sure you wouldn’t prefer my picks and posts in sonnet form as opposed to free verse? Would definitely be more concise :wink:

    Arhtur Askey dented CuBone
    his flash horriblis.
    He recovered but was never quite the same
    a slip of the tongoe
    flash
    a Sachs moment
    and Ross went the way of Bross
    but CuBone was a gentleman
    and recovered

    I dont know about Ted Bundy
    but Ivan Milat wore facial hair
    and I came across his horrendous murders
    in Wolf Creek
    All new posters
    TAKE NOTE

    I actually thought the frilm wolf Creek
    should be banned
    unimaginable horror
    and slaughter of sheep
    however after a good night’s sleep
    the night after I watched it
    and reading Cherie Blar’s autobiography
    My chainsaw Hubby
    I have changed my mind

    ….breathing periods
    and the death sentence
    outlasts Bundy and Milat
    just remember its forever
    and the bankers got off

    p.s. I have not read the whole of this thread
    I am croned
    so may have joined CuBone
    temporarily in the land of OHHHH

    Ryor, this is how to post…. :D Get some sleep Gamble..

    Have only talked to a Spotlight writer. They can spend as much time on the races as they like.

    You entirely sure about that, Mark? I’m sure they’re subject to off-stone times like anyone else on the paper.

    For information, our Spotlight workload at the Prostsman was always 60 horses’ worth of race per day, by a given time, and inclusive of all tissues and verdicts. That wouldn’t be too far removed from the Post‘s.

    As with any job, I am sure they would like more money, so they can take more time.

    The money-time correlation is not one the Spotlighters have much autonomy over, for the reasons previously stated. An extra £50 per stint might be extra stimulus for turning in a better job, but it doesn’t make the working day – which for jumps Spotlighters couldn’t really start until the decs arrived at 10.30am from the PA or whosoever else – any longer.

    Cheers,

    (PS Do you know if Stewart got my email about the 21st, Mark?)

    I believe the Racing Post pays so much (I will not say how much) per 50 horses. Though some may not do as many as 50 a day (with presumably the money cut in relation to that). Obviously they can only work from the time the declarations come through, to a deadline time. That will automatically put time restraints in to their work.

    (p.s. will get back to you about the quiz Jeremy.)
