I’d imagine you were in the minority there, endevour. Alphabetical is the only logical way to do the form, especially when it’s usually on a separate page from the card. As mentioned elsewhere, a big field listed in weight order would be a pain!
Hi all, first post. As someone else said, considering the amount of horses, colours, daft names etc. it is amazing the commentators don’t make more mistakes. Generally they make a decent fist of it.
I haven’t seen the winner mix-up, but I have to say, going right back to the National, that Catt’s mix-up of the greys was exceptionally poor, and the excellent Richard Hoiles pretty much got him out of a hole that day.
The thing that disappoints me most are the commentators who often don’t relay everything that is happening all around the race (i.e. I like to know if Horse X gets up after a nasty tumble) – and Des Scahill is most definitely in that category.
But hey, what do I know? I do actually enjoy Derek ("Horse X is sluggish away") Thompson’s commentaries!
