    I’ve remembered the David: David Cleary, who did work for Timeform and apparently still does, on Timeform Radio

    I do hope there’s only one left to find now :)

    Well done. Very civilised of TF to take all the deserters back. :)

    I only pay to use the MyRatings feature which are er mine anyway and now they are locked safely away out of my reach. And for how long?! :evil:

    Joined twitter to while away the time and got blocked by uncle Ralph Topping himself, which was as good as a winner :)

    Do they have a centralised universal handicap like us? I see a lot of handicaps in passing, but not a lot of ratings. How does their (official) handicapping system work?

    the gambling commission has 3 pillars

    1. gambling is crime free
    2. gambling is fair and open
    3. children and the vulerable are protected

    with regard to point 2.

    Part 1 Section 9 of the Gambling Act 2005 says

    9 Betting: general

    (1)In this Act “betting” means making or accepting a bet on—
    (a)the outcome of a race, competition or other event or process,
    (b)the likelihood of anything occurring or not occurring, or
    (c)whether anything is or is not true.

    (2)A transaction that relates to the outcome of a race, competition or other event or process may be a bet within the meaning of subsection (1) despite the facts that—
    (a)the race, competition, event or process has already occurred or been completed, and
    (b)one party to the transaction knows the outcome.

    (3)A transaction that relates to the likelihood of anything occurring or not occurring may be a bet within the meaning of subsection (1) despite the facts that—
    (a)the thing has already occurred or failed to occur, and
    (b)one party to the transaction knows that the thing has already occurred or failed to occur.

    This to me reads that it is enshrined in law that it’s perfectly acceptable behavior to cheat by betting on past posted winners, to cheat by laying dead horses lying still warm on the ground, to know what # an RNG has picked before the customer places his bets, etc etc.

    Fair and Open.

    Yes, like Mike de Kock, he has a base in Newmarket. Both are in the process of getting licenses here but until that point they race under their own national license. This is a bit like when the HK and Australians come here for Royal Ascot/Darley July Cup but for an extended period.

    Thanks Adrian.

    No, it’s a full jumps card today. But I made a mistake because Southwell is all on the AW; I read it as a jumps meeting. :oops:

    That’s funny, because he did the exact same thing except for Lingfield. :lol:

    Had opponents made a slowish pace he’d probably have done better, but that was not to be.

    In what way was it not a slow pace? I only ask since the final time was so slow as not to even merit a speed figure by the Racing Post clocker.

    Have you watched the race? The leader was almost lapping the other horses!

    Nope. Don’t know anything at all about NH after about 1985.
