Just watching RTV extra, asked if Cheltenham grade 1's would be aiming high (as in too high), he basically says yes. Talks about trying to get him qualified for handicaps, mentions Kerry National (twice) and a race at Killarney next week.

That could work. A few of his previous NHC runners have gone to that meeting and winner Ravenhill ran 2nd in Kerry National.

Out of interest what price? When did this start? All open Questions to the forum BTW, and anyone any strong views on this? Think they are big enough yet to start this? Content good enough? I know it seemed like they had a decent amount of young followers, but I'm quite surprised they have jumped in this early with a paywal service, suppose keeping both options open at the moment showing free content and maybe long term plan to make it paid service full time?

Interesting.

I asked Josh what was story with LTR+, very openly put it that they aren’t affiliated with a bookmaker like many other shows and what to keep it clean in that regard. Therefore LTR+ is just another way to drive investment into the show. Explained It will never be a paid tipping service its just there to provide extra videos, interviews, final thoughts before big races etc and won’t replace the current format just an add on for those that want it.

I thought that was a very fair response and I like the non bookmaker affiliation.

Nothing worse than watching a show that is lambasted with bookie promotions I think it’s the dogs dinner and a huge negative.

I definitely wouldn't want to be sponsored by the enemy that's for sure, so fair play to them.
 
They both work for Racing TV and get all the race footage because of that so the need for a bookie sponsor will be less than other channels tbf

Those clips make their videos look more proffesional than a lot of others

I enjoy the finishing line one myself, just four mates who like horses arguing for an hour haha

Relentless noise in recent seasons about prize money and how it’s to blame for the exodus of horses to Asia, America and Australia and there’s probably 100k going unclaimed in the one race alone…

It's one of my 2 favourite race days, and don't miss a year going, mostly for the 3 Group races

They can be pointers toward
● 2yr old Group 1 races
● St Leger
● British Champions Day
● Arc de Triomphe
● Breeders Cup

Really poor turnouts of 15 runners in those 3 races

Dont imagine I will have a bet post decs on any of them now.

Just enjoy watching them, and finding out where the key horses go afterwards.

Paddington - Arc,
Would be wonderful to hear, if he were to win on Wednesday

….just to note, Paddington looks like going off odds-on but Hills offer evs Ryan Moore to ride a winner on Weds. They also offer Paddington 16-1 win today & Arc.
