They do like a moan don't they? IMO the whole problem with racing is that almost everyone involved seems to be so far up their own backside full of their own self importance and how right their own opinions are that they can never agree on anything.

Reminds me of that silly program 'Im a celebrity' I saw once where they were all threatening to walk out because they weren't being fed enough rice despite getting 50k for the weeks show :lol:

Which brains of British Racing decided to let Wolvs go as opposed to holding for 3mins to 5 mins so that there wasn't a clash! Utter joke British Racing - the laughing stock of the world!

Managed a very good day despite British Racings best efforts to scupper it.

Racing really does itself no favours. Lingers off 5 minutes before Fairy which is five mins before Warwick. Lingers late so bumps into a late Fairy which pisses all over Warwick. Thanks guys!

Not helped by the fact that we don't have a clue what's going on down at the tracks half the time when ATR are still showing adverts 30 seconds into post time. They sponsored the last race at Hexham, would have been ironic if they missed the start of it :lol:

I feel your pain!

But the focus today is surely Ascot and Haydock.

True. I cocked up the first few races, frustrated that it was taking a while to claw it back.

Spot on Euler. For me perhaps it's very easy to comment as an 'outsider' , but it is really not that hard. For all intent an purposes, it appears as if the UK Clubs are not really serious about catering for the betting public. Here in Australia we regularly have 12+ gallop meetings with a couple of greyhound and harness races thrown in for good measure and very rarely do we get the clashes that I consistently see and hear you all talk of.
