mowgli77 Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 Re: Daily Racing Chat Thread Absolute shocking: Horse Abattoir Film Reveals Welfare Breaches - http://news.sky.com/story/1040057/horse-abattoir-film-reveals-welfare-breaches I'd heard about that but first time I've seen it. Horrible to think an animal that is loved by owners, stable lads etc ends up in a place like this and gets that sort of treatment before death. You'd have to be mentally unstable and some kind of psychopath to work in a slaughterhouse though wouldn't you? I remember a documentary years back and the staff were all nuts.

last minute winner Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Re: Daily Racing Chat Thread I just can't take to Rishi Persad. Currently rocking the potters leisure resort live on bbc2 at the indoor bowls champs. What pisses me off about the bloke is that it's blindingly obvious he has no knowledge of the sport and relies on the little earpiece he has in and autocue. Balding is not my cup of tea either but at least she does have some idea of what it is she's talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's been a an age old widely used practice used to pull off gambles. Often the apprentice is declared sick just prior to the race and then the real pilot is revealed. If the rules have been amended recently, I have not read about it in the news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertob Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Re: Daily Racing Chat Thread Back from Leopardstown. Fantastic day there, apart from the weather obviously (snow, rain, wind, sleet - we had it all!). Good crowd nonetheless considering the weather conditions and some great racing. The Fly was impressive, so were Pont Alexandre and Glens Melody Won a few quid myself, so in that respect it was a good day too. Have to say after a day at the races I always know why this sport is the best in the world. There is just nothing better than that. Nothing beats a day out at the races with a mates, pints (or coffee's today) and some great sport. The Fly after winning the Irish Champion Hurdle - what a superstar...

robertob Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Re: Daily Racing Chat Thread Punting wise it was a disaster for myself but from a neutral point of view one can only be impressed with What A Winter's performance in the Grade 1 Cape Flying Challenge last Saturday! The trip is actually too short, he's usually best seen over 1.200m, yet he won in some style and easily in the end. But what a performance by the lightly raced 3yo filly Via Africa, finishing so well in 2nd. She is the future in the spring sphere, no doubt.

FedericoBTH Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Re: Daily Racing Chat Thread It's the second time today Adam Kirby made very early moves and it didn't paid off. First time with Mary's Pet in the 2.35 (ran like a 5f). Nonsense imho considering the horse had all to win the contest. Second one with King George River in the 3.45 but that was a very interesting gamble (unlucky he got beaten by a nose). For sure he knows how to make a race interesting!

cpo Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Re: Daily Racing Chat Thread haha thats class. It sounds like the commentator is calling the finish through the whole race.

Heard that too, yeah... if you see how many top class jockey made it over there to ride in this race it's is probably fair to assume that it has some significance. Racingpost had an article up for the race as well, saying: "Often used as a final test for potential Dubai World Cup contenders, including Premium Tap who won this race in 2007 before chasing home Invasor in the world's richest race at Nad Al Sheba" http://www.racingpost.com/news/horse-racing/saudi-arabia-reigning-fly-down-the-one-to-beat-in-kings-cup/1196040/?utm_source=Racing+Post&utm_medium=twitter&utm_term=Horseracing&utm_content=Betting#newsArchiveTabs=last7DaysNews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
