Please explain what you mean, am I to fear Muslims?
Peaty,
I have no problem with freedom of thought, sadly the only thought you have come up with is……

Quote: from Grasshopper on 7:12 pm on Jan. 27, 2006[br]Strange that Iraq is invaded when it was abundantly clear to anyone who would listen that they didn’t have even a nascent WMD capability, yet Iran goes unchallenged by the US, despite very much having the capability within their grasp.
Got me scratching my head that one. Not exactly consistent is it.
Unless the war in Iraq never really was about WMD in the first place? In which case we have all been lied to, by the very people we elect to represent us.
What a great democracy.

As I believe, we were taken to war because Iraq hadn’t complied over several years with the resolutions that they agreed to after the original Gulf war. Maybe the job should have been done properly first time around. It is IMO inappropriate to treat Iran & Iraq the same.
Peaty,
It is people like yourself that encourages terrorism on our own doorstep – you should watch your comments they are hugely out of touch with common sense.

Weight makes a difference – and is sometimes one of the overlooked important issues when trying build an idea of the likely winner of a race. As officially horses form is equated to weight and races are framed around weight carried, it’s importance shouldn’t be underestimated.
True Grimes,
But the market, at least for non-ante post races is usually decided by the tissue (coming from RP etc..) and punters early battles on the exchanges. There are a few gems to be found if you do your groundwork early enough :biggrin: :cool:

Well put.
Arandalde,
I’m fairly sure Mounty doesn’t treat his trend horses as "number on a page" and I’m also sure he treats them exactly as they are – unique living creatures.
There are so many variables in our racing that the simple approach, whether that be collateral form – speed figures etc.. Is just too one dimensional. The nature of our courses, the contrast in pace etc.. all lead to a more sophisticated approach to form analysis.
I know of Mounty’s methods, and if he’s the astute fellow I believe him to be, he doesn’t just use them blindly. Correct me if I’m wrong.
I’m afraid he just isn’t that strong in a finish – He’s great at getting a horse into a rhythm as displayed on Mubtaker. You get what you pay for I’m afraid :cool:
I can hear Thommo now…
