rakhine state 17.50 stratford, trainer expecting a huge run, have a freind whos uncle is part of owners group that owns it, its around 8/1 ive stuck a score on it
Ebor on today. Very, very disappointed that ITV Racing decided to show National Anthem breaking down when highlighting Jawwaal's run at Ascot, rather than his more imposing race last time out.
Not sure who made that decision but it wasn't accompanied by any sort of warning nor followed by an apology. Very poor.
My Junkanoo is running today at Goodwood 445pm - as usual I’m hopeful but I don’t like the fact he is now favourite at 2-1 but he should go on the ground - fingers crossed price is too short though
Anna - the recent deaths at Southwell are bad and the racecourse and BHA are investigating - there maybe an issue with the ground or the obstacles but they will fix the problem
Racing authorities will never get any credit from the morons and there will always be arguments (with the benefit of hindsight) when a gradualist approach doesn't yield the desired result and necessitates more drastic action but drastic action with immediate effect it is at Southwell.

So while I completely accept there is blood on my hands as someone who loves horse racing, I've come to terms with it. I'm sure all of us have who contribute to this thread.
I am not quite sure if Anna_Kissed has grasped this, or feels he must post here rather than on a dedicated horse welfare/Race Horse Death Watch thread, because there are members of this forum who just pile on.
I'm cool with AK's views. They don't impact me and they don't impact my enjoyment of the sport. Fine. I am, however, a bit annoyed that there's no good place for AK to express their views and be ignored, because the discussion then comes onto this thread, and people get annoyed, and we go round in the same old circles, and nothing constructive happens.
I'd like there to be a separate thread. I'd mainly ignore it, of course, and I hope others would too.
Anyway - as for Southwell - there must be something wrong with the course's constitution and it is a great shame that it's taken a spate of fatalities for an investigation to occur. Hindsight is 20/20 of course and I welcome this as an action, and I hope that any shortcomings are revealed swiftly.
There's a big green button headed "New Discussion" that AK could use if he really wanted to make his point on a separate thread and without deliberately attempting to aggravate the CL racing community. In fact I reckon most or all of us are well past being aggravated by his posts. We all view fatalities with great sadness and take the issue very seriously but AK's posts frankly smack of him relishing any and every fatality as a chance to try to annoy CL's racing enthusiasts. His posts are now just a pathetic yawn and demean the real seriousness of the issue.
Spot on Peanuts.... As regards Southwell considering its a flat oval course it's distance make ups are one of the top in National Hunt racing which to me makes it a very stamina sapping course which is really surprising because of its configuration. I don't know if that is the cause for the current fatalities but I'm pleased they have stopped racing whilst they look into it. As it's certainly something that shouldn't be happening.
You appear unaware of what has happened previously, Mr Peanuts. A thread I commenced was 'sunk' by Mr Bartram, resulting in it being hidden.
You have the pick of several pro-racing threads in which to participate. The sole place in which a different view could be presented was met with sabotage. How does that sit with you?
And then there's the abuse. All of it one-way. Moronic freak, or Freaky moron? I can't decide. Can I be both?
Your grouse about your thread closing is for the moderators, no one else. Your message about equine welfare is agreed with by every contributor to this and other racing threads - your goal of banning jump racing is not, of course, but most people here are prepared to agree to disagree. You, patently, are not. So, if you're tired of people being nasty to you, try being a little more prepared to look at things from both sides and less sneeringly sanctimonious every time a racehorse sadly dies.

RIP Sceptical
Cheers for the info anyway @palarsehater
300/1 winner at Leopardstown today becomes the longest price winner in horse racing history.
Not sure who made that decision but it wasn't accompanied by any sort of warning nor followed by an apology. Very poor.

'Ignore him', you wrote, previously. But you can't, can you?
Your childish insult demeans you.
