What an absolutely brilliant race. An incredible King George @kemptonparkrace. Nice to see an English winner too! Magnificent steeplechase!!!
Has anyone got stats on which courses are the worst for low sun causing racing to be spoilt? Aintree, Doncaster and Cheltenham spring to mind. I'd be very interested to see a full table of courses.
Anyone who backed Mydaddypaddy should be rightly unhappy. That wasn't a hurdle race, it was a flat race. If you bet on a hurdle then you are entitled to expect the obstacles to be jumped. If they're omitting half of them then bets should be void. Absolutely sick of this crap!
Surprise, surprise! Its @AintreeRaces and they are missing out obstacles. Jockeys are soft these days. Get the bloody fences and hurdles jumped you big girls! 🤬

The 1990 Breeders’ Cup Mile provided one of the most stirring moments in international racing when Royal Academy, ridden by Lester Piggott, stormed to victory at Belmont Park. goingbehind.com/advent-calenda…

Paddy Power Data Breach: What You Should Do Now
Find out what happened, whether you're affected, and what steps to take.
Beau Greaves didn't lose because she is a woman. She lost because she spends her time playing other women who don't have her ability. She is brilliant!
WANTED: VHS tapes of horse racing from 1970s-80s to digitise and make available on YouTube. Preferably not major festivals unless extended footage as most of this material is already online. DM to discuss.
Valid points, but trainers hardly support NH at @kemptonparkrace anyway. The field sizes are pathetic, and have been for years. Use it or lose it! racingpost.com/news/features/…
I didn't know my Uncle Joe as well as I would have liked to, but he took me to see Slade in Flame when I was 6, so for that I am forever grateful. Sleep well Joseph Patrick Bradley x
Wow! @Wayne501Mardle you look so healthy and happy. Stay well. Massive respect to you for your life choices x
48 hour decs are great for bookies, trainers and jockeys, but the worst thing that ever happened for punters. Absolutely guaranteed that an 8 runner race will have a NR - often from a stable with multiple decs. It's another loophole that was created by idiots. Close it now!
This is in no way a criticism of @gl_racing but when an excellent jumping track like @LingfieldPark attracts only a 3 runner field - all from the same yard - the @BHAHorseracing should be taking note of the sorry state of the jumps game. I won't hold my breath...
The decline of selling and claiming races is seen as a "sad situation" by some within the industry. I call it a disgraceful own goal by the @BHAHorseracing. share.google/oGVSLptoEtGiD8…
I feel sorry for the @itvracing team for having to lie to the audience, saying how great the Saturday racing is gonna be. Truth is that the NH game is dying on its arse. Small fields, dominant trainers and constant NRs since 48hr declarations have made my favourite sport a joke.
I'd have L'homme Presse on my Grand National shortlist if the race hadn't been turned into a farce. That was a classic "good old fashioned" National trial. Impressive performance...
Idea: @sevenbarrows try rebuilding Constitution Hill's confidence by entering him in the Grand National. The @AintreeRaces fences are the easiest hurdles in the UK. I wish I was being sarcastic, but I'm not. @BHAHorseracing are guilty of cultural vandalism. A disgrace!
The Grand National fences at @AintreeRaces are now among the easiest in the UK. They have completely lost their identity. What a sad sight...😡
