    How can you tell if someone's a v*gan horse racing fan?

    They're silent for fifty weeks of the year, then won't fucking shut up about it for a fortnight. Hello my friends, and you are all my friends, this is a call to arms because we are at an existential breaking point. I will be using strong language throughout much of this post because the antis...

    Horsey Project

    I'll explain later. For now, Lanivtsi is a name for the notebook. Not for Cheltenham 2025 or even 2026. But possibly 2027 onwards... or maybe Auteuil 2025... If handled properly Lanivtsi will be at least a 130+ rated chaser wherever he goes. I am telling you this little over an hour after he...

    More or less everything I know about betting on Horse Racing

    Here is a stream of consciousness. Please don’t talk to me about the grammatical, structural, spelling errors etc. It is a stream of consciousness after all. There are truths… facts about traits that will always lead to success in horse racing, and success is measured by whether ones...

    Juvenile Hurdlers 2023/24

    They are back, and so too is this thread. Been covering for the boss at work this week as well as having a delightful time travelling to the North East due to the train strikes. As such, I am going to start with a couple of stats tables related to trainers and sires, and preview the...

    Juvenile Hurdlers 2021/22

    Juvenile hurdlers, and myself, are set to return to Hexham in ten days time. If the young horses are a fraction as excited as I am then we should be in for a treat. Though ten days before the first race of the season makes the posting of this thread somewhat early, there have already been enough...

    Juvenile Hurdlers 2020/2021

    This thread has already started in a couple of other places but while it would be nice to write a fresh introduction, I would essentially be writing the exact same thing while changing the order of the words which would be similarly disingenuous. Also, this thread will have missed the previews...

    Triumph Hurdle 2021

    Hello all. With the Triumph Hurdle only 248 days away, I was shocked to see that a thread has yet to be made for the festival highlight. The field would still be somewhat difficult to predict as there will be plenty more imports from the flat and the from continent whose destinies have yet to...
