Taken from the last paragraph of Alan Lee’s column in the Times
"Hayley Turner is a newly elected council member of the Jockeys’ Association, confirming the respect she has earned from the male majority. A scrutiny of her recent rides, however, might almost suggest someone is handpicking horse names to flatter the flagbearer for girl power. They include Little Miss Whizzy, Forces Sweetheart, What A Treasure, Turn Me On and City Minx. "

Thanks everyone….
I’ve decided to give the horse (Figaro Flyer) a chance, mainly due to the price – a small E/W bet in order me thinks.

Seconded…. :biggrin:
I’d be interested to know RD, at which he point he would become a lay – if he’s a back at 2.4 or higher..
Would you lay him at under 2.0?<br>Would you not lay him at all?
This is what I thought about the draw at Wolves on a similar thread started by Stav,
https://theracingforum.co.uk/cgi-bin … topic=9451
" When I’ve been to Wolverhampton, I’ve always preferred to stick to the middle to high drawn runners. Down the centre in the straight is almost certainly the place to be.
Couple of things I’ve noticed just from observations is horses staying to the inside down the back straight and moving towards the centre off the final bend do very well – no real stats to back this up – just the naked eye. Perhaps course is treated differently on the back straight? "
Interesting Stav,
My view of Lingfield was that stamina is at a premium and I had a good angle of backing horses who had won over a furlong longer than the race on Polytrack….
<br>Having said that most of my bets are 5 and 6 furlong races – where a good pace is guarenteed, so maybe it was just something built into the races I looked for…. ;)
<br>But I would safely ignore a 5 furlong runner over 6 furlong irrevalent of pace….

Good luck to Aranalde… :cool:
It is possible to make a profit backing on AW racing…. I must admit though to finding Kempton very very difficult so far….. I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before things settle down….
Although my blog listed below hasn’t been updated for ages (due to time/work commitments) I have produced a very decent profit per point on the AW over the winter.

I haven’t voted….. But it should be less than 7 – not that it makes much difference – the geezer doesn’t get enough rides to consititute any worthy ban.
The plan to charge was made clear from the very beginning. They have a very powerful tool – one which people will pay for. Considering they charge for downloading racecards etc…. It’s no surprise they will charge for this. I don’t know what the connection is between Trinity Mirror and Racing Uk, but I assume they are being charged a certain amount for relaying the pictures to users.
I would prefer a yearly subscription – but alas – the sharing of usernames could lead to collusion. Charging per-view is probably the only answer viable..
