Jump racing a joke

9 years 6 months ago

The winner at Navan, the favourite, got a 15 length start over the others and won by 10. How do they get away with this shit.

And then you get the ones where you backed the horse 20 infront, still on the bridle and falls over the last jump... Grates my nuts...

Must say though, even worse is racing from Ngong... Would rather spend my time watching Kazahkstan under 11c curling team practise....

Are you living your life or waiting to die?

Yip.. Atleast we only lost 2-1, in which we threw away, with a very depleted team... We never got THUMPED 4-1 with almost our strongest team :whistle:

Faugheen got beaten the other day at 1/6 by its stablemate but that stablemate won 4 grade 1s last season but had to play second fiddle during that campaign.

An odds on pop at Ascot the other day and was given a rating of 148 for his 1st win over the fences.The unrated 2nd fav shortened markedly and the fav drifted out in the market.

The fav led from the start and when heads turned for home fell at the 2nd last fence. How will that run affect his high rating now, one wonders? :ohmy:
