Ran well, but fluffed the last fence to lose it in the run in.

It is becoming a joke, with omitting jumps because of the low sun, Lingfield may have well just used the all weather course for some races as they almost became national hunt flat races.

Certain courses should not be given fixtures from November to March because of having to omit obstacles in sunny weather, the fixture list needs to be altered.

On tracks where there is a slight possibility of a couple of obstacles being omitted, they could have all the chase races run first followed by all the hurdle races. They could move hurdles to other places on the track during the winter months, even if it still means there is a three furlong run in.

Plumpton for instance below could have three hurdles along the back instead of two and place two hurdles on each side of the course and omit all hurdles in the home straight during the winter months, this is my opinion and only a suggestion, but similar things could be done on a number of courses.

Sky News debating banning horse racing this morning. Won't be long before an idiot Labour MP gets on board and starts calling for a ban and banging another nail in the rural coffin of the UK

Mrs Starmer and her mum are massive horse racing fans. So I doubt that! and well see for yourself:

He's just further taxed bookmakers to pay for gambling harm and research (I think they pay enough tbh and it just goes to the wrong place some of these gambling charities are questionable imo) including independent ones who aren't happy so doesn't love horse racing that much

Not sure where Labour are with the levy either, as much as I hate the larger bookmakers there is only so much they will take.

Does anybody else have problems with the Racing TV live feed provided by Betfair today?
(=Ludlow and Haydock; Lingfield works fine)

It's more like a stop motion movie, with almost a second between each picture...
Anybody else? Any recommendation what to do about it?

[GeorgeRuss]

Seems ok my end. Any programs/apps in the background you could close, may help.

[walshy]

All OK here also

Slightly ironic a Tory calling out disproportionate affordability checks when it was them who called for the white paper with affordability checks implementing the most un-Tory policy of all time and they're still scratching their heads why no one gives them the time of day anymore.

Been happening a lot lately, very annoying. Seems to be mainly on Chrome. Switched to Opera today and fixed it straight away. Try different browsers.
