Sam Waley-Cohen, is a tactically very poor jumps jockey, who has allowed his win on Longrun to go his head as he views himself as some sort of racing hero. Best of luck in the US sam.(I only just discovered you have jumps racing, I am astonished)

Cormack, I hope you don’t find the good lord was a consultant to Bet365 too. Might make things difficult as they are the sites sponsor?!
Did anyone know, for example (and I’m sure some of you did) that
the fellow they put in charge of the Starting Price Regulatory Commission, one Lord Donoughue, was, at the self same time as heading that body, a ‘consultant’ to Paddy Power on ‘matters relating to horse racing’?No I was unaware of this Cormack. This is becoming very interesting, please give more on The Good Lord.
they changed it, it had a picture of john gosden (not the now changed to alan swinbank) and saying goesden will win today(now nearly yesterday) as he saddles silver blaze @ southwell.
My point was they tipped it but obviously weren’t familiar with the trainer. Bit amateurish…
The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.
As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5-year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".
In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.
In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.
Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.
Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.
By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".
During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensibl riten styl.
Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.
Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.
If zis mad you smil, pleas pas on to oza pepl.
It’s not free though…
2€ > 10 videos
10€ > 65 videos
20€ > 135 videos
30€ > unlimited (3 months)Which works out as considerably cheaper than racingpost.com
About that, racing post are scandalous charging people to watch race replays when the providers (at the races and racinguk) let you watch replays completely free????????????????????????
Why is everyone getting upset about the national sp? Surely increased priced or smaller over rounds won’t encourage you sensible and seasoned race fans to have a gamble on the worlds most famous lottery.
Has everyone seen this?
Try dropping an email or making a call to the Clerk of the Course or the Course Manager before you visit. I’m sure they would try to accomodate such a request if they could.
Rob[/quote Good idea! chers
yes thanks for that. I’m Aware andy beyer didn’t invent fractionals, as his books were based on speed figs. In his early works "picking winners" beyer tossed pace analysis aside and believed that the speed fig was only relevent.Thats whta fractionals are used for ,Pace analysis. It wasn’t until later i believe in " Beyer on speed" did he except and adapt his ideas and methods to pace.
However, am I right in saying it was handicappers in America that took fracrionals and really began to use them as another weapon on the track. ( sardin rings abell)
Wow, thanks very much. I’m printing them off and will have them blown up on my wall. Proper history. I never imagined that fractional would go back so far. Cheers
