    Why have ITV stopped broadcasting before the 1650 and 1730 have run?

    Only show the first 5 races every day I believe.
    Most bookies stream the races if you've had a bet online.

    Haven't had a bet for the first time in years but have been picking my selections each day. Would have had a nice profit first day and picked willowbhy in the first and 2 other 3rds.

    Cheers mate, not planning on doing that now though, as having watched the first 5 I got diddly squat and as soon as I can't see it I've backed myself a winner.

    Go on the Flying Tiger.

    Wonder what the price was for Mullins/Walsh to have no winners first 2 days?

    The Mullins' horses really aren't running to form and you can tell in Ruby's body language that he isn't persevering with them when he thinks they are wrong. Paul Morrison said on RUK that he thought a lot of them had gone in their coat.

    Makes Melon's run even more commendable though perhaps the fact that the horse had had only one run helped.

    Only thinking of one tomorrow - Unowwhatimeanharry in the stayers' hurdle - but I'll have to lay a couple of score to get today's money back.
    Anyone willing to offer an alternative?

    The amount of them dropping out injured before it even started and how badly they are performing shows something is badly a miss in the yard, I think they will struggle again tomorrow.

    I think Top Notch will beat Yorkhill, TN has the form and in Yorkhills two chase runs hasn't faced anything special.

    UDS won't like the drying ground.

    whatever is up with Mullins ?? .. withdrawals, injuries, Gigginstown remove all their horses .. a real mess but good for racing in general ? .. and Fehily ?? .. he's winning the lot other than the ones he rides that I back and come second ((:<)</p>



    I posted the above earlier .. surely there must be a lot more to this than meets the eye .. From multiple winners to zilch .. I hope that is not a 'Godolphin' type scandal .. not being wise after the event but I have always been a little bit suspicious of Irish racing, handicaps, ratings and 'feeds'
