    Also What A was wondering-In the States we have plenty of racing–I have been following since I was Hurt and disabled on Duty–

    Now I wonder Why I prefer Racing UK over Racing State Side–

    Its seems Better here- Pure-Comparing the two–More appreciated here–I love the fact your horses seem to be in the game longer too-

    Just some thoughts–This too–You chaps dont seem to be a caustic and foul mood folks I run into via the web in racing Stateside–

    Again Just some ponderings. thanks

    I guess I don’t get the Goodwood races Tuesday–I was looking forward to it after hearing so much about it. Who has it? Racing UK?

    I will try to watch some on replay if I can.

    You Lads out here have to be the most versed in the game- You get the races fom all of Europe-UAE-All the UK-USA and The Aussies-

    Us-we just started getting Woodbine-BFD–We get some Aussie racing late night-Occasionally-like 3 times a year we get a race from Japan–
    1 French race a year-The Arc-
    We used to get 2 race tracks from 0900 to noon 12 oclock from The UK–That came to a stop-

    I will get reamed if any of my comrades read this–But if you listen around Breeders Cup time or Triple Crown Time–The People here think that US Racing is the be all end all–IE (The Best) Unbelievable-Since Our horses were all Doped up-They dont race past 3 98% of the good ones–Thw life span is much shorter–I could go on–I wont—-
    Sorry for the long post

    BUD
    Stay on this Forum.
    I have been on 2 US Forums and am surprised how civilizes they are!!
    Everyone agrees with each other and just try to big themselves up. At least on here the debates can get quite fierce and because of members knowledge you have to really fight for your corner. :lol:

    We’re clearly on different US forums then :wink:

    This weekend my Choices are few-
    Friday I have Galway and Bath
    Saturday I have Doncaster Lingfield and Galway.
    Sunday there is Galway and Cork.

    Is this the Best of the Weekends racing happenings?

    I am sorry if I come off asking dumb questions..Sorry.

    Still Goodwood on Saturday, BUD.

    During August there is good racing at Deauville in France at the weekends. Hopefully you’ll get that.

    You’ll probably miss out on the next big festival. York’s Ebor or August meeting is on Racing UK instead of Attheraces.

    You’ll get the St Leger meeting from Doncaster in September though.

    I’d be a pig in heaven if I was at Saratoga for August.

    Sadly, Bud, without Racing UK you’re going to miss the bulk of the quality meetings in Britain.

    York for the Ebor Meeting, Haydock for the Sprint Cup, Ayr for the Western Meeting, and Newmarket for the Cesarewitch, Cambridgeshire, Dewhurst, Champion Stakes etc, are just some of the highlights coming up.

    At The Races have high-class action from Ascot and Doncaster in the next couple of months, but in general they cover more low-grade racing.

    Well If I do it like this–Hold of a couple of punts-Put it aside I should have enough to purchase both and have I hope 90% of the happenings–

    If it is worth it let me know—-Hopefully that will solve much of my wondering–

    Many thanks

    one of my wagering depots actually offered 2 races from Thrist?? and Goodwood—
    Out of those 4 races wow what great great racing–

    I plan on playing Saratoga—Maybe some of the bigger races @ Del Mar and your races there–

    When I listen to your talking heads they all seem to love All Weather–I call it PolyTrack–I really dislike Poly–They ruined Keeneland with Poly–

    But if I play WolverHampton–Thats Poly Right? I find that track runs OK–
    Or Maybe its because I have OK luck there–

    Anyway It was a big pleasure to play those 2 tracks this morning—I wish they would offer it more—
