Kim Bailey's statement says it all - some common sense from him on it and explains what happens with the money allocated for the Jockeys. Doubt many of the other trainers have his class though.

It's only a small group looking for a handout, must've ran out of syndicate owners to rip off.

Does anyone else use Racing Uk to watch replays? The reason I ask is for the last couple of weeks or so whenever I put on a race to watch, as soon as I try to get it to the last half mile or so and click on the screen it just chucks me out of the app………. I have looked to see if there is an update which there doesn’t appear to be and I have deleted and reinstalled the app but still doing it! Any advice greatly appreciated for this technophobe.

I find with a lot of things on the RTV app, they can be buggy. I just login & use through normal web browser & far more stable (such as scrolling to a place in vid, landscape / portrait adjustment etc)
 
The "trainers should be paid for interviews" thing is indicative a group of people who have gotten used to having bookmakers pay them to publish stuff under their own name without them having to write it. inuring them from the reality that the sport is decaying from the inside out.

If I was a trainer starting out today, you'd be bored of the sight of me on ITV, I'd have a tiktok showing the yard, bring all the personalities at the yard to life, show everyone the horses' lives. Instead they just moan endlessly trying to take until the sport has nothing left to give back

Like, I love to mug Hendo off, but he does actually try to fulfil the role of "top UK trainer" and provide some profile to the game

Pretty much what Dylan Cunha is doing, he'll outgrow his place in the next season or two, pretty much what Skelton did when he started out too.

Yeah I'm gutted I didn't go in on one of his early syndicate horses when they were a bit cheaper at the start, he's got his eyes on the prize

Just stroll into the yard,in all seriousness he'd always be open to a chat if you was interested in ownership(Most yards wouldn't have anyone wandering in uninvited but he'd be sound), or drop into Gee Gees in town, he's there a fair bit, btw I'm not his PR man :biggrin-new:

It means to get used to and accept something that you shouldn't really accept

Before the DRF and with around 5 weeks to go before Cheltenham, then looking at the supposed ‘good things’ below (from a pricing perspective) then how many do we think will win out of the eight?

My initial view/guess, is only about half…..….so if this could be the case, then maybe there is still value in these markets?……just got to predict which ones !
