Yeah - it's like they've not fully factored in the weight he carried compared to Home by the Lee 10,5 vs 11,10

The ratings in behind are bonkers as well. You might be right.

Which, in racing parlance simply equates to “ We will now be halving most of our odds for every horse for every festival race”.

Guys & girls - note their prices now.

And note them from Noon tomorrow.

You’ll notice the difference.

Insightful !

They'll make one or two mistakes I'm sure.

Has this been the least informative period of xmas racing ever?

I just don't think we've learnt a whole lot.

'What have we learnt from this?' - 'Don't leave your dildo lying around?" - 'Don't let it out your sight' :triumphant:

There have been quite a few Grade 1's that were more like Grade 3's (e.g., Neville Hotel Novice Chase).

We've seen lots of gimmes from the front, like Facile Vega and Dysart Dynamo.

In a similar vein, felt like quite a lot of uncompetitive racing where stalemates have 'knocked heads' but not really.

I don't feel like we learnt much re the QMCC, Champion Hurdle or Stayers (barring Home By The Lee is good and Bob isn't)

Thoroughly enjoyable, don't get me wrong, and just one mans opinion.

The entire season has been a dud so far really

The ground too fast
The frozen ground
Tiny fields
Weak grade 1s
Loads of massive odds on shots having schooling sessions
a plus tard pulling up in the betfair then missing the savills

The highlights would be the king george and Constitution hill

Plus maybe galopin thumping fakir doudaries

The benefit I guess is that the DRF will be very good and very informative

Tbf, probably sums up the last few seasons.

Carnage at Taunton agrees - Ed Chamberlain is one of the most painful people to watch on telly, anyone else agree? I cannot stand his presenting style, if you can call it that. I'm all for celebrating greatness and being enthusiastic, but Ed drowns in superlatives to describe pretty much every scenario that unfolds in front of him. I find his tone, demeanour and way of presenting so bloody irritating, to the point where even a pause irritates me. I don't think he's fundamentally bad at his job and I think he has racings best interest at heart, but, I think I'd rather gargle my own piss for an hour than watch Ed Chamberlain present for a full 5 minutes.

Thats the bad news, on a more positive note, my New Years resolution to be more tolerant is going swimmingly well :glee:
