jayalexander Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Re: Daily Racing Chat Thread Graham Cunningham has really grown on me recently. Best pundit on C4, in my opinion. I like his no nonsense approach and believe he's on the side of the punters :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertob Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Re: Daily Racing Chat Thread There was some outstanding racing at Turffontein today, on SA Classic day, with three hot Grade 1's on the card. Promising filly Cherry On The Top completeted the fillies Guineas/SA Classic double today and is now only one win away from the triple crown! She trashed the field once more today. Unfortunately I couldn't find a replay of this race yet. The main race in contrast, the SA Classic, was a real thriller, with a very wild and dramatic finish! 22/1 shocker Love Struck denied Tellina by the narrowest of all possible margins to complete the Guineas/Classic double. On the naked eye it looked for me as if Tallina got up to LS on the line, but the photo proved different. Nonetheless Tellina confirmed all the promise and I assume he'll be a machine if finally stepping up further in trip. The third G1 race on the card, the Oppenheimer Horse Chestnut Stakes, have been won by last years SA Classic winner Slumdogmillionaire in an equally dramatic finish. Have to say that's what I love in South African racing, just from a pure excitement factor. These tight and wild finishes are simply different class! SA Classic: Also highly recommended to watch: Slumdogmillionaire wins the Oppenheimer Horse Chestnut Stakes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty657 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Re: Daily Racing Chat Thread Pig sick I missed St.Nicholas Abbey in Meydan yesterday. Never got round to looking at the cards so it's my own fault. Backed that horse every race it's ran :wall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who seriously plans this sh*t? Flat season is back up and running so straight away they have 3 days without a meet, so f*cking stupid it's unreal.

Bathtime For Rupert Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Re: Daily Racing Chat Thread I was very close to backing Bajan Story today in the 4.30 at Kempton when I saw 40s. Finished a close 2nd. Relieved is an understatement! On another note, bit of a shame the better ground has come so late in the season but I reckon there's plenty of value to be found now with horses forced to run on unsuitable soft this season now getting their surface.

last minute winner Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Re: Daily Racing Chat Thread Don't know how many of you saw the first at Southwell today but imo Far Gaze was mugged of the race by firstly the Mcabe horse and then, more importantly the stewards. On more than 2 occasions the eventual winner came across far gaze and denied him a clear run up the nearside rail. Now admittedly im talking out of my pocket here (look in the bbotd thread for confirmation if you wish) but everyone at the track was of the same opinion that the race should have been awarded to Far Gaze. The rails bookie l spoke to after the last said that there was an objection raised by the 2nd horse but it was thrown out on regards that these are lightly/unraced 2 yr olds. Im sorry but that is completely unfair in my eyes. Just because interference is more likely to occur in these races does not make it more excusable or give the stewards more scope to throw out legitimate objections. l couldn't believe my ears when l never heard the bell go for a stewards in all honesty. RANT OVER!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpo Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Re: Daily Racing Chat Thread Far Gaze may well have won the race with a clear run but you can't expect the result to be reversed when the 2nd has been beaten almost 2 lengths in a 5f sprint.

last minute winner Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Re: Daily Racing Chat Thread Nick Luck, Cunningham and Mcgrath all roundly slagging the attendees of Aintree. Pretty bad form imo. I know that the ladies of Liverpool and the surrounding areas often don't do themselves any favours but they're paying money (possibly counterfeit admittedly :P) to have a good day out today and just because it may not fit with the above 3's mentioned idea of a good day out doesn't mean they should feel the need to ridicule them constantly. Be best off concentrating on the racing and let the goings on in the stands take care of themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elchubb Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Inept bookmaking at it's best today and yesterday! Yesterday, The New One puts in a great display against SEASONED champion hurdle horses, only going down to a horse who now looks like he wants further and gets pushed out for next years champion hurdle! Today My Tent Or Yours beats 3 NOVICES who didn't really have a chance before the race which was reflected by his price of 4-11 and when he wins like expected, he's cut across the boards for next years champion hurdle! No wonder bookies ban and restricted anybody who's smart enough to make a few quid off of their stupid odds compilers prices, here's an idea why not employ better compilers that know how to set a line , profits will go up and you won't need to ban everyone in the process you bean counting pricks!
