Good luck to her, but what the ****<br>’s she doing on a racing program?
Is she contributing to the analysis of the races?
I don’t think so.
Has our culture really stooped to the level where we give a large amount of airtime to someone that got lucky with their pinsticking?
What’s next?
Will this week’s lottery winner be given a seat on Question Time next Thursday night and be asked how we can solve the problems of the country?

<br>Well done to the Lady. I didnt see the morning line, but I`m sure Agnes would have brightened up a very dull show.<br>She landed the scoop six bonus race and tipped up a 25/1 runner up. <br>She`s picked five of the six winners the previous week herself before her last selection was replaced by the favourite which duly won.<br>So Steve she`s picked more winners than anyone else on the show put together.  <br>What right have they got to be on the show?!!!!<br>As Channel four screen and promote the scoop there would be a real interest and it would be silly not to include this winner on the show. <br>Well done Agnes Haddock.

I am aware that Bruce Millington is the Sports Editor.<br>Lincoln some of these tipsters have been taken to court, high court, on a regular basis because of the extraordinary nature of their claims. These tipsters charge huge fees, thousands. Among their claims they often say "all selections proofed to the Racing Post". to give credibility to their claims. So where then is this proofing? At the same time the Racing Post rakes in many many thousands in advertising fees. I`m pleased to say I dont subscribe to tipsters, but many others have been duped into parting with their hard earned. So this is basically dishonest right?<br>Hardly worth it? <br>They cost punters millions and rake in similar amounts for the RP so why the hike. <br>Oh, and I forgot to mention the 7/7 emergency edition and the keep Our Kieran in Racing Campaign. <br>

Quote: from Mounty on 6:17 pm on Jan. 30, 2007[br]I have a vested interest as I work for said rag but what difference does ten pence make? Would you stop going to your local pub if the beer went up from £2.80 to £3.00? I’d probably have a moan, within earshot of the landlord, then shout "same again please!". <br>
<br>Please dont take offence Mounty.<br>To be honest, I`d change Pubs. There is a huge variation between prices of pints in different pubs. <br>The Racing Post has a monopoly and has exploited that Monopoly for me once too often So its saturdays and the odd weekday for me. <br>To be fair I have been getting very bored of the RP over the last few years for the rubbish tipsters adverts<br>such as Brimardon, Thommo etc which the Racing Post allows and never ever proofs and is happy to keep taking money for , Alistair Down`s retrospective Drivel, and the ever so smug Bruce Millington (He`s the Editor?)<br>The data is what I want and while its available i`ll get it off the website. <br>If you get made Redundant you`ll know why. <br>Because when your customers said they didnt like your price you told them to like it or lump it.

Can’t wait to see the threads when they start charging for the website.
Maybe so dj,<br>I have been a daily user of the post in the past, I have kicked it into touch because of the price hike. <br>True, they have a monopoly, but they are not making a profit from me anymore.<br>

It may only have been a 10p rise, but for me it was the straw that broke the camels back. <br>£1.20- £1.30- £1.40 – £1.50 in a not a great deal of time.<br>There are only two days a week when I buy it now.<br>Getting used to using the website rather than flicking through the pages. <br>I`m not missing it at all. <br>
