No, as if you read my posts the short price ones should win, but only a mug would be backing em in this testing ground. I avoid all horses below 2/1. No value in em.
Would have a small e/way on downs folly though, long as not a big drifter, it will run solid race and daly yard in cracking form. Maybe today is day.
Lol Barrys post was in his usual cheerful mood. Barry please stop shouting on tv also. Makes you look like your nuts.
Your talking about the casual owners and syndicate owners. The biggest owners in racing love a punt, and they have more money thaan sense. Horse racing has and will always be associated for with money/gambling. Without gambling the sport finishes. Because i certainly would not watch a class 6 seller at wolverhampton on saturday evening for the fun of it!
Thats load of bull from my point of view. Easy to run a horse on wrong ground,class,distance and track etc…. Lets not forget running them when not fully fit, or running them after overworking em on gallops etc… Majority of people n racing, are in it to make money, so you have got to expect them to try and land a punt every so often. I have no problem with it, and is what makes our sport great.
Certainly know when im a owner, it will be all about landing a few punts and enjoying the sport. Not trying to win a 3k race.
Corruption in racing is deep and wide spread. If your definition of corruption, is a horse either being pulled or lined up for a plot so connections can land a punt, then i would say 70% involved in racing are upto this.
If your saying corruption is a owner/trainer/jockey betting on a horse to lose or getting that horse beat, then i would say no more than 2% in racing are upto this.
Day in day out, im told of horses not fancied and that will not be winning today, nothing funny from jockey or trainer. Just that they know it will not be winning. I see nothing wrong in this aslong as horse trying and put into the race.
Again several times a week im told of connections having a punt with their horse, some win, some lose….. again nothing wrong with that imo.
I have guys well connected with most of yards in flat and jumping racing. Only once was i told of a trainer that fittef into the 2% group above, that trainer is very well known national hunt trainer, and people would not be suprised if i named him(of course i won’t).
But jist of this was, Trainer A jockey A were betting on Horse B, Trainer of horse B was also bet on by trainer B. As Trainer A’s horse was only danger, It was baiscally free money for them all, and a touch was landed at 6/4-2/1. Now jockey of horse A was criticised for not putting the horse in the race that day.
Thats only time i have been aware of anything dodgy really going on, i have no problem with owners or trainers getting a horse lined up for plot.
You can show your dislike to a presenter without having to use swear words can’t you ?

Lol, well as i say, my results will do the talking. Till then, nothing more i can say. Time for my roast dinner.
Adiós todo para ahora, y yo los agarraré en futuro, quizá mañana.
Well i have my nose in a few pies so to speak. Which i will prove in future, when i share what im betting on. But till then, as my name says im a "insider".
Well all depends on what you would call a real "Racing insider" i guess….. but answer your question, then yes in a sense.
Are you real David Johnson ?
I mean if you are not, then why post under his name. If you are then i understand.
Freedom of speech is not there to be abused, and several on here have done that. What has Clare Balding sexuality got to do with her job ?
Is that what freedom of speech is for ?
Some of comments on here are truly pathetic. So much for tough forum rules, i read this forum was very strict and only for real racing fans.
Yet first replys you see are some vile chav calling a guy he never met or even know a "tw*t". Wow aint you the clever one………
On Matt Chapman himself, i like the guy alot, has alot of passion for sport, and the only guy who can make a saturday evening A/W card look exciting.
How ATR can suspend someone like him, when they have dale mckeown on is laughable.
Probably best for Matt and CH4 racing if he is sacked and Is signed upto front the morning line and Racing on CH4.
