    That would negatively affect racing mike, theres absolutely no need to get rid of them completely, just leave it simple, in excess of 9 will trigger the stewards to look at the race with the view of overuse and the result is at their discretion at that point with a decision made ON THE DAY

    Silly whip rules causing this, not the jockeys fault, as i said above, intent or not, it never connected, intent alone should never be enough to dish out punishment

    The rules however need to be written better to avoid this, eg, anything above 9 the stewards ON THE DAY make the final decision if it was ott or not, its not difficult

    As always glad, ratings from those days are absolutely useless, they mean absolutely nada, how we rate horses has SIGNIFICANTLY improved since 1972, entitled to your opinion of course, as am i, her timefigures to her stride to her size and scope and most importantly her form, all point towards she looks as good a 2yo filly as theres ever been and id have absolutely no doubt that when the dust settles, her form will eclipse lady aurelias form

    Lady aurelias 127 wasnt deserved, to even remotely suggest shes a better filly at 2 than LV is fairly comical.

    As said above, the 1972 comparison is funny, shed hammer anything from then if it was remotely possible to compare. But its not and theres no way to analyse, half the tracks couldnt measure out the correct distance for a start

    As i said above, ive never had a liability like that last night, laying to lose and to unplace 2/3 never had 4 unfortunately, i still havent come down from it tbh, i dont think there will ever be a greater place lay like there was last night

    I love obrien as a trainer, i think moore is incredible and id say i probably do like the general coolmore domination, over say a godolphin one

    But how is it possible to talk a horse into fav for the BC classic lol

    Unbelievable stuff :yahoo:

    Not sure it was ryans fault he tried to set her alight out the stalls, shes anything but slow but she was off her feet for 1/2f

    Arguement to be made shes the best 2yo filly ive ever seen, we often talk about the colts like pinatubo, COT etc, ill be surprised if shes ever beaten, assuming she trains on, she will though, shes a specimen, has a frame to grow into

    No clue what price she is for the guineas, irrespective of the godolphin horse, i doubt theyll be anything that can get near her

    She’d hammer the 2yo colts, TLIW included, her figures lto where spectacular, havent had a chance to look at these yet but theyll be the same

    I dont know what theyll rate her but ittl be up there with the best ever at her age

    Think ill stick with kinross, trainer/jockey combo flying, in much better form now than previously in the season, gets his ground, found out last season by art power, which i dont think will happen again, will probably cover AP just incase

    Agree cas, but connections dont need to argue it, the bah will need to decide themselves if that 10th connected or not, if it didnt, regardless of intent or not, he didnt technically use it

    They have left this in such a mess with there silly rules that no matter what they decide on tuesday its the wrong decision

    Has to be the greatest place lay to ever grace the exchanges, hopefully theres a proper market up on betfair to 2/3/4 places, guaranteed hes finishing out the back, will be the biggest liability ive ever had

    Interesting, will he be disqualified now?, i seen kevin blake show the 10th hit possibly never connected, will be curious to see what the BHA do if thats the case, only thereself to blame for daft rules

    Punters losing out regardless though with the rightful winner finishing second and no payouts if hes dqd

    Exactly CAS, why would you risk his book of rides at the DRF or cheltenham for a beginners chase out in the arse end of the country if its not a mullins horse, he can completely dominate racing if he just focuses on the mullins machine which imo if it was me, id be doing the same, no need to be going somewhere else to ride out in the mornings either

    Has to be for fear of injury and missing out on the big rides? / complete loyality, he was doing this while he was #2 to ruby

    Hes the best jumps jockey riding imo, has been for a while…

    Ive been on look de vega since the start of summer, never a fan of the campaign hes had though, and id say even at 8s hes shoet enough now (im on at 16s and id say thats about the price he should be)

    Sosie for obvious reasons looks like the charyn of the 3yos, just improving as the season goes on, although i dont like how close delius got lto compared to there previous run, tamfana and co in behind so form has substance, i may add in but havent yet

    Did fancy bluestocking for this but i think she’ll come up short again, a solid e/w bet though, hard to see her outside the 4 imo

    Los angeles has been a favourite of mine this season, but i think the price is all wrong and id be more a layer than a backer at current prices, hes versatile in his run style but imo i can see him having a bit of a nightmare trip here

    Its a solid race with no apparent stand out, the others i havent mentioned have a chance

    Ill be have a score on haya zark @140s though and a bit more on him to place in the top 5, albeit the ganay run was early in the season, a replication of that will put him in with an outsiders chance, id probably have him about 40-50/1 rather than 140/1

    No doubt, she really could be top class, imo to do that over 6 when shes more suited to further, id be excited to see her as a 3yo, the time figure in comparison to the middle park really is supberb, shed have hammered the colts, no reason on breeding she wont train onto 3
