My Dilemma’s getting more serious.
I am desperate now. Having failed to get on two good things which I waited for I have found another. I am beginning to question myself, have I found it through desperation and desire for a bet?
Its the shortest price of the three, so naturally some negativity is creeping into my thoughts. "Ive no Luck me, when I wait for and find them, I still don’t get on, Will I ever enjoy the slide down from the top of that elusive rainbow."To make matters even worse I was flicking through another card at a race I would not normally consider and have spotted that a horse which was my nap in the BB comp on Saturday runs today. It looks an even easier race for it than the last one.
What should I do, Oh deary Me. If I leave them surely they will both win. If I back them they will both lose because i was searching for a bet.
When a trainer is trying his best to win a race I have no problem with any tactics.
Ginge if you really believe the above is acceptable then what is the point of your tirade?
What if the race the trainer is trying to win is in six months time? Is there still no problem with tactics?
From my point of view I want the trainer to run the horse consistently. I will then decide if its good enough under the prevailing conditions to win today’s race, as he should be doing.
Total available prize money/Total number of horses in training.
Or
Available prize money/number of races
That was to be this evenings point!
Market the success rates in cleaning up the game
How would you measure success in this though GH?
Henderson would be a fair guide to the results of being banned. I have never seen his horses run as consistently. I think I read also that his total number of winners is the highest ever this year, but am open to correction on this point as I have not researched it. Surely an emphatic result for "cleaning up the game".
Thanks for the reply’s, I had musselburgh in the back of my mind when when I was considering this and pleased to see my assumption backed up be others analysis. Some other tracks noted which would not immediately spring to mind as such. Thanks again.
Been burning the midnight oil:
Half the field wont get the trip come Saturday in soft ground. A third the field wont get the trip in any ground.
Possol stands out here like a sore thumb, he wont be 20,s for the national come Saturday tea time.
Miss Mitch – well there you go, I dont like the victor chandler form a load of donkeys.
Le Burf- Suprised this has not had a mention so far,Lay your shirt on Nacarat wont get this 3 mile in a horse box
unlucky Cleandries,
I see where you are coming from, I always get a good read on this thread. It was up against it at the weights though tonight
I have just looked at the photograph which is shown on the RP site. Some of those concerned haven’t got a leg to stand on, they are very lucky professionals indeed to escape so lightly.
It makes you laugh when you here some pundits bumming up jockyship with comments on "Jockeys having a clock in their head" and talk of them "judging pace to perfection" as if there are thousands of mental calculations per second going on. That may be the case for one or two but
I suspect that yesterdays situation is nearer the mark, "wandering round a field like sheep" with some "just following each other" with barely a thought in their head.LOL at Glenns post. That was so funny when I worked out what the blue and pink denoted. I enjoyed that.
I cant think of many other sports where the athletes put their life and limb on the line day in and day out.
Poor lad, what a tragedy.
Slating jockeys appears to be a pastime for some. In my view the selection of McCoy as the new rider was proved entirely correct yesterday.
Connections knew something was wrong weeks or possibly even months ago when they first intimated that a change of rider was imminent.
A lot of the "talk" was of Denman becoming a bit lazier at home and needing more work.
It was also noted he was becoming recalcitrant at the start of his races.
Even after the Hennessy I read somewhere that Walsh had commented that "blinkers" were now needed.When that picture is painted who can blame connections for Choosing McCoy. I noted at the time it was a bad omen for Denmans Chances at Cheltenham, not because of him as such, but because they thought the horse now "needed" someone like him.
Yesterdays performance only served to confirm that they were right to be concerned. I don’t think anyone realized the true extent of the ten year olds problems.
That’s the shock of it all.
I feel Sorry for McCoy, everyone everywhere waving bloody "Denmania" cards everywhere about a 1/8 shot, and once again the unbeatable gets beat.
All McCoy has done is accept a ride offered on one of the best horses in the country, yet he is going to take all the flak for the lackluster performance.
The horse looked undercooked to me and of course the whole Kauto/Denman gold cup fever that RFC was hoping for has had a swift Kick in the nuts. Nichols tries to be to clever for his own good sometimes. Lets hope the horse is OK.
