I just wonder how long it will be until they start their club once we are all suckered in and starting charge us a fee.
Seems odd to me the Racing Post is not fighting back they must have lost hundreds of thousands of visitors since they started charging people.
That makes me wonder if Sportinglife charges aren’t far away.
Where I live is blocked. I only had a few accounts in the Uk as I have almost always used a CA to place my bets or used Betfair through mu Australian account as RA’s in the UK are a joke.
All the luck I had a Skybet account not that long ago but got angry and closed due to the fact they refused a bet any decent course bookie would have taken without blinking an eye but it was like they couldn’t be bothered even trying to lay it off.. Had a real set to with them so I doubt if they would reopen it as they now they know I am in Asia..So I’m well fooked
Getting round the block is simple whats not so simple is being able to watch vidoes as the likes of tor browser doesn’t have flash so it’s impossible to play a video without giving your location away.
I suppose it’s whether the actual playing of the videos if you go through sportinglife/skybet is blocked or not or just Skybet refusing account form banned countries.
Has anyone opened an account with them because of this if so what confirmation if any do they ask for?
Ahem!!! Simonsig is going chasing
Imagine that. Corals must have missed that bit they are still going 7/2 Mind you try asking them to lay you 4 figure sum and when they tell you you are on to plums it doesn’t mean you have 1000 plums on at 7/2
You gonna stop spamming you twat?
No ones interested in your crappy products and btw Spirit Son sadly is unlikely ever to race again and Simonsig is NOT going for the champion hurdle….Do try to keep up
Doubt if Frankie gives a hoot.
Frankie comes across as one of the nicest guys in racing and has done so much for the game I hope he get loads of rides as a freelance….to be honest I think Godolphin aren’t good enough for Frankie even in his twighlight years as a jockey. They couldn’t train pigs to be dirty IMO
Send all there horses to Aiden he’d double their winning from racing
We will learn a lot about Josephs strategy in tomorrow’s race. If he thinks he is good enough to win he will pull the other horses out and just ride the stable choice.When he is not sure he allows the other jockeys to ride with him and take their chances.
Must have though Camelot was going to lose in the Guineas and the Derby then
I’d expect Sir Patrick Moore to make the running and Trading Leather to be up there as he doesn’t do anything quickly.
I’d expect Joesph to sit off the pace and try and take it up about 1/12 furlongs out and win by 3 lengths at 15/8 in a time of 1m 39.64 secs
I never saw it but I doubt if I’d take 10/1 but 14/1 I may have.
Taking it they both run 5 times based on Big Bucks SP last season if he goes off at similar prices this season and Sprinter Sacre about the same it would pay 16/1 roughly.
While there’s not a lot going to be taking on Big Bucks by the looks of things I can see Sprinter Sacre going off very short for his first race at Cheltenham and he could be 1/8 like big Bucks was last season but I don’t see him going off as low as 30/100 for the Tingle Creek as Sanctuaire will no doubt have a following.
A difference like 1/4 and 2/5 for Sprinters first two races as he is jumping fences and you could be talking almost 20/1.
The thing is would you actually put aside the cash to bet them both in every race? So 14/1 does or should I say did look ok
Any chance you can take the whip to this character

He makes a few contributions but keeps posting spam in the Cheltenham section
Eddie, Pinza’s banning was nothing to do with disagreeing with me. If that was a criteria for a ban it’d just be me here!
I agree the rules, and specifically the penalties, weren’t bang on to start with but the jockeys have adjusted well and that’s been a major factor.
One day we’ll realise, as a sport, that we don’t need the whip AT ALL!!!What they going to replace it with then a cattle prod?
Do you remember Little Bay?
Love to meet the jockey who could have ridden him without a whip and there’s hundreds out there like him. Would not be popular among the owners of talented but lazy horses. Too bad if someone just forked out 100K and finds out his new purchase wont pick up without a smack on the backside
As far as safety goes I rode out for years and I doubt if I’d be here if I never carried a whip. Horses can be ignorant sods even downright dangerous and many have a mind of their own. Those types would think nothing of going one way and deliberately sending you the other.
It is a nonsense to suggest jockey will someday not need them very hard for little William Buick to kick a horse in the belly when his little legs are tucked under his chest..
Anyway what you are suggesting is impossible and the BHA would never do it. It would put our jockeys who had no experience of race riding using a whip, which is an art in it’s own right, at a huge disadvantage when riding abroad.
Not unless the ban was worldwide and the chances of that are ziltch,
There’s got to be something said for the more human approach to broadcasting. Willie Carson of what I have seen of him is lately is exactly the same as he’s always been…………constantly joking and never too serious and to be frank gives the impression he’s a bit of an idiot but is far from it..little guy so they say had more punters than Laddys back in the old days.
He’s a bit like the old Batman TV serious everyone said it was rubbish but they all watched it.
I thought the original changes when they handed the stewards a number,an abacus and took away their right to use discretion were what most people disagreed with and not with the way the laws are now.
Great news though
Not a thing wrong with Kingsbarn’s run and Aiden O’Brien doesn’t chose by default where Group 1’s are concerned. You can bet he’s got at least 6 others he could have sent for this. Kingsbarn has been backed from 11 to 3 (12k traded) on the machine so someone knew he was coming
Seemed to know his job on his only run traveling well throughout he quickened well when asked and hacked up by 7 lengths.
The opposition looks poor and 2/1-5/2 could prove generous and looking for value, as it’s called, may be throwing money down the drain in what looks a weak renewal
Signed: Fist…fed up ****** up and far from home
Roll on the jumps
The really missed an opportunity to get rid of Willie Carson. They should sold him to Peter Jackson for the up and coming movie The Hobbit.
No editing trick photography or make up required the film company would have saved a fortune and even his squeaky little voice would not have been out of place..
Silly bet Gord he’ll be 20/1 after the Lexus
There all silly till they win then we’re silly for thinking they were silly or does that seem silly?
