You are particularly angry tonight Woolf. Go down the pub, much better than getting irate over us poor retards.
When are horseracing fans going to ******* grow up, you are simply retards in your devotion to the STARS and the top stables. Try to apply what little intellect you posses to asses the degree of skullduggery that is happening now in racing.
If you are NOT a "horseracing fan" Woolfie, why come on a racing forum?
May be if you provide some evidence of this skullduggery us retards might take notice.

Right, I don’t like being personally rude but I have enough. Got home from a hard 12 hours night shift and am fed up with you. This was a thread I started to discuss the naming of a race on Monday. You have deliberately taken it off topic to start your trolling. You clearly are not a racing fan nor do you know anything about the sport. If you want to troll start your own thread without ruining other people’s discussions. You have just insulted people with your name calling. I don’t normally respond but I, and others, have had enough, so why don’t you just p*** off you idiot.
Sorry to Dave and Matron but I’ve had enough.
I am a racing fan who relishes exposure of sharp operators in racing, I want to start betting again but not until the Zaroonis, Butlers and Dettories are brought to book along with others yet to be exposed.
It is in the interests of racing fans to seek the detoxification of the sport.
I did not swing the thread, doped animals and doped jockeys amount to the same thing, cheating.

How the …. was Dettori "cheating" Woolfie?
It’s hardly a performance enhancing drug!

I do hope you are being ironic, Ginge.
Had Dettori not been "cheating" he would not have have incurred a ban.
Cocaine ( a stimulant ) is, to all intents and purposes, a performance enhancing drug.
Gambling Only Pays When You're Winning
I would have thought drug testing for jockeys works on much the same basis as drink testing. I would expect it to be considered a safety issue more than necessarily enhancing performance.

Well it can potentially help in certain sports if taken immediately prior to activity, giving the hallucination of time ‘slowing’, although in precision/judgement sports such as racing it would most likely be a total liability. Nobody takes coke to become a better rider.
But Dettori was clearly taking this recreationally as a ‘night out’ drug anyway. To compare it with MAZ’s systematic application of anabolic steroids to horses is just ludicrous.

You’re not a racing fan. You’ve never posted anything positive about the sport since you’ve come on these boards. In an era of Frankel, Sprinter Sacre and (maybe…?) Dawn Approach you’ve never mentioned anything about the joy of watching such horses perform. Everyone’s a cheat, all the races are bent, all the owners are ‘in the know’ ripping off the punters.
The other day, I saw a winner (name escapes me) being led in accompanied by a gaggle of dressed-to-the-nines lady owners of all ages, laughing and cheering. ATR then interviewed two of them – both probably the ‘wrong’ side of 80! – who said how much they all loved having a day out to follow their horse. To me they represent the very modern face of ownership (Winner’s prize money? Doubt if they even knew what it was!).
Your idea that owners such as these ladies are all involved in some corrupt rip-off of punters such as yourself is both ridiculous and offensive. To label people on here – many of which know more about racing than I ever could – as ‘retards’ implies that you probably despise yourself even more than you do racing.

That’s codswallop Mike and I shouldn’t wonder if it wasn’t balderdash as well. I’ve been backing since the mid seventies until last summer. I look forward to starting to back again but that’s some way off.

There’s a massive difference between being a racing fan and someone who gambles on racing, not that the two are mutually exclusive. You show no sign of the former and far too much of the latter.

Gambler or not racing holds little interest for either. Think about the meaning of competition, it means little if some runners are not competing.
The game is not worth the candle.

What basis do you have for your beliefs Woolfie?
Value Is EverythingAs I understand it H – Dettori used cocaine as a recreational drug. Cocaine may be used in other sports to help performance, but not in racing. It is banned for the same reason there’s an alcohol limit. ie Safety… Only a much more serious offence than drink, hence the long ban.
Value Is EverythingCocaine can be used to keep your weight down, eg catwalk models or actresses, have you ever noticed how when a bright young female actress starts out in films or on TV she is beautiful and fresh faced then after about 2 or 3 years she is all bones like the rest? Guess why…
It may not be of any use in the heat of the race but many jockeys suffer with their weight and cocaine can help suppress appetite so that in general they are able to manage their weight better.
That’s a risky way to lose weight given the trouble you could get into. I don’t buy it, he was cheating.
We need more exposure, more transparency to win back people who have deserted racing since the appearance of exchanges.
When will Frankie be back in action? Apparently he has to contact the French authorities first, regarding a "Medical" matter.
Part of the article on ATR is reproduced below:-
"However, France Galop said on Tuesday that the onus is on Dettori to contact them.
"We’re waiting for him to get back to us over medical issues," said France Galop communications director Julien Pescatore.
"It is a private matter."
Dettori’s solicitor Christopher Stewart-Moore said his team were in contact with France Galop but that it was a "private matter".
He said: "We are in correspondence with France Galop about this and it is a private matter.""
I don’t know why, but I feel this might be a Private Matter
Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.
