    I was impressed today and as you say she is one to look out for.

    I had a quick look through some of her stats and although they are fairly impressive, they are nothing too spectacular in all honesty. The win she had on the same horse at 66/1 in Nov does blow the P/L up significantly.

    But again, she is certainly worth keeping an eye on.

    I couldnt watch the whole way through.

    Just my opinion, but what a waste of time.

    If your going to do something, do it properly.

    They’re certainly making this horse earn its corn. Back out again, less than 24 hours later, at Lingfield tomorrow.

    Wonder what weight it will be. Ho ho

    I wonder if they will completely redesign the website, making it very hard to navigate without your pc crashing.

    Oh wait a minute….

    It irritates me when their is very little promise indeed shown yet its apparently an obligation to say there is.

    Still most annoying to me is afterthoughts, for example after it wins at 12/1

    "i noticed this one earlier in the paddock and felt it had a chance"

    Really? Why did you mention 4 others and not that one in your build up

    Seems to me the reply you received merely indicates they were very happy with the profits of the whole thing, will be going with it again in 2010 and that any other issue you may be raising is irrelevant.

    This is one of these age old problems many businesses face, do you put up with the negatives but reap the profits or go back a step and earn less money.

    Im of the opinion you dont have to do either and can easily hold such events with proper security etc and prevent such behaviour. But then maybe the cost of the security is again too much for them to consider.

    Its all about the money.

    Nothing wrong with replacing a jockey for a better one!!

    I couldnt agree more. Buicks statistics are impressive and he deserves his chance.

    Can’t see that Buick has even ridden for Gosden before. Very odd.

    Your right and that aspect is quite odd. I would have thought it was normal to get to know each other and check the partnership works etc, or am i being silly?

    You can probably do it through Betfair or some other betting firm once you place a bet?

    Like all these things it will sound and look hideous, but as you say it will raise money for worthwhile cause so i guess just have to laugh it off.

    Never know it might be as good as the Anfield Rap or the Peter Kay one with Postman Pat etc ha ha

    I dont think anyone will really form any real opinions about horse racing or cheltenham on the basis of the song – hope not anyway!!

    An interesting move indeed. One im sure he will be prosperous with too.

    As you say the debate as to prize money on offer is probably likely to come up, but thats a good thing!

    Id like to see a section that goes more indepth into some of the talking points, explaining the process etc.

    For example –

    Access to pictures of photo-finishes.
    Details of stewards enquiries
    A section showing handicappers actions.

    To back up something raised earlier, i also thing clear and concise guidance on the placement of stalls would be a huge benefit.

    I see they have scheduled an inspection for half 6.

    Any idea how things currently are in that neck of the woods?
