@racingoncourse @MikeEckley4 @BenStarSports Sam Dempster, that's a blast from the past. "WITHOUT THE FAVOURITE"...

@MikeEckley4 @BenStarSports Yes I do avail myself on occasion! Bring back Sam Dempster and JH Gillibrand!

On-course punters seem to understand and gravitate more to betting without the favourite in the north of England than the south

"People say there's no value on course, I can assure you there is!"" @JWhite73866 has his say on the 'betting without' market available on racecourses...

@Novi_Sader @ScotlandSky From the past nearly 30 years he's been the only one so he must be doing something correct.

🏴 "It disappointed me..."
Steve Clarke was surprised to hear some boos at the end of Scotland's friendly defeat to Japan ⤵️
English
@JimmyBurnsYT @ScotlandSky He is a creature of habit. Maybe everyone can see what's coming next. Who's to say another manager wouldn't have qualified us 3 out of 4?
English
@ScotlandSky Anyone who booed should be ashamed. This man has made Scotland a competitive nation. Qualified for 3 out of the last 4 tournaments. Just because they lost a friendly people think they can boo. Get you've wasted a decent chunk of money but that's the expected risk of being a fan.

@tbuckleythinks @DoncasterRaces Good lad. That's how most get involved- but they think student nights are the way to go. Free the grandparents to take their kids to Doncaster this summer.
English
I got into racing through family trips to @DoncasterRaces to the Lincoln, St Leger etc, my dad tells me I was 8 for my first Lincoln way back in 1985😀
Lincoln winners that stick in my mind are Right Wing in 1999, Very Wise in 2007 & Addeybb in 2018
What about you ? 😀

@MikeEckley4 @itvracing @NewcastleRaces They had a box in the big empty stand. You wouldn't have seen them without a crick in your neck.

No sign of @itvracing at @NewcastleRaces ?
Probably saving time and money by just taking the SSR feed and a studio
A shame as I was 1 on the list for the speed dating

@UncleErniesTips Licenced trainers sticking their nebs's in with highly rated horses for cheap wins. Permit holders or nothing. Reform or scrap.

You'd struggle to make a case for stopping the bulldozers flattening Kempton after looking at the 5.15 today.
English
Right, nothing’s happening here so we have a question for everyone.
What do we all think Liam Rosenior actually writes on his notepad?
English
@FOBRacing @RalphBeckett This isn’t just about welfare.
It's about ideology. It's how the Scottish government works. And it's possibly coming your way soon.
English
This seems naive tbh
Both sports have made huge progress with welfare but that wasn’t enough to stop anecdote and political bartering leading to greyhound racing bans in Wales and Scotland*
This isn’t just about welfare racingpost.com/news/britain/b…

@BriefcaseMike Would the Marx Walk suit you? In your republic, it would've been the Mandelson Line. Careful with your wishes.
English
The "Elizabeth Line", the "King Charles III Coastal Path"......why do we keep massaging the egos of this ridiculous, dysfunctional family by attaching their names to achievements to which they contributed nothing?
English
@UncleErniesTips That'll be why the hurdles are getting flattened. Third race unbelievable. Maybe they're using dominoes.
English
Oh heck.
Low sun at Musselburgh🌞
Uncle Ernie: Still following the gee-gees@UncleErniesTips
Low sun and Mick Fitzgerald explains the problems that it can cause: "Imagine that you are on a motorbike going at 40 mph, juggling two machetes, heading towards a cliff and you push down on the brake, but you're wearing flippers...that's what it's like....."

@sweirz 4 days before this game, he was kicking a ball around for 90 mins with a goalie coach. On a wee patch of grass ext to Cairndow kirk.

@DaytrippingRed @EvaCatDev Apparently, if you're born in Glasgow, you can still be Irish.
English
@Novi_Sader @EvaCatDev What’s Glasgow got to do with this?
Also, “lodgic”…
English
I was born in Sweden. I have lived and worked in Ireland for 30 years. I have 3 Irish/Swedish kids. Today I was told by a person that 'you are not even Irish'. What have we become? Happy St Patrick's Day - I love this country 😟
English
@DaytrippingRed @EvaCatDev That lodgic doesn't work in Glasgow, though, does it?
English
@EvaCatDev I don’t see the issue?
You were born in Sweden, you’re Swedish
What’s wrong with that, it’s not an insult or derogatory comment, it’s the simple truth
You can live somewhere as long as you want, you’ll never be that nationality

@IainHamilton93 @ibroxrocks You know managers fail at clubs, go to other clubs and succeed? You’re acting like his career is over
Also he’s on the radio talking about football,again people in football who got sacked sometimes end up on tv/radio talking about football
English
I can’t even with this.
The Rangers Review@RangersReview55
"I think Celtic and Rangers fans will consider themselves very lucky that they're still in with a title chance, considering they've had really poor seasons. One of them is all my fault, obviously. "But apart from that I genuinely think it's such an interesting season. I think Hearts shaking it up has been really good for Scottish football as a whole. People are talking about it way more.” 🎙️ Russell Martin has been discussing the title race in Scotland speaking on BBC Radio 5 live. rangersreview.co.uk/news/25941859.…

@speckled_jim2 @JournalismSEEN Maybe Charlotte has an old fashioned dip stick.
English
@JournalismSEEN Someone should tell "Charlotte" that your oil tank has a handy guage on the side so you don't have to lift the lid and peer in (to a dark tank without a torch in hand)
English
ITV Evening News decided to use a trans identified male called “Charlotte” as their case study for high oil prices.

@Goonyella_ @MattBisogno @daverenham Great point. Has become more prevalent. Last year, division at some northern tracks was ridiculous. Division - N/R's at Carlisle = 7 and 6 runner handicaps.
English
@MattBisogno @daverenham I'm not entirely sure as I wasn't around in 2010, but are there any division rate figures? Were they as likely to divide back then than they are now?
English
Problems afoot for Salisbury racecourse (among others) as this comparison of field sizes from 2010 to 2025 starkly illustrates.
Taken from @daverenham 's latest piece for geegeez.co.uk which I've just finished editing.
Will be up on site shortly.

@quarterfirst4 This is the future. This is what they want. Nothing will stop it. Once they start to close, it will collapse like a pack of cards. AW and weekend/festivals.

What is Cheltenham/Aintree/Epsom's target audience these days?
Sniffer dogs & loads of security seems to be the order of the day
Gimme Ballinrobe of a Tuesday or Clonmel Thursday instead

@TByrneBHA @FatPunter @alfiepotter1980 @racingoncourse @HexhamRaces @bkracing123 @MikeEckley4 Disingenuous argument.
People want whole fixtures scraped. Not a race, many enjoy, at a track that's much loved.
English
@FatPunter @alfiepotter1980 @racingoncourse @HexhamRaces @bkracing123 @MikeEckley4 All I'd say to that Keith, is that most people tend to think there is too much racing, and so I'm always slightly surprised at how quickly people want to add extra races and fixtures (for which the BHA is rightly judged upon their success) into the programme..
English
My understanding is BHA are meeting tomorrow about this:
✅ several trainers have emailed the BHA about this being saved
✅ @HexhamRaces wants to reschedule
✅ @bkracing123 is happy to sponsor
✅@MikeEckley4 has said he will move his sponsorship to another race to avoid a clash
There is no reason on a card that only has 5 and a bumper currently, that this can not be saved @TByrneBHA we
SD Racing Services@racingoncourse
As a result of @HexhamRaces abandonment, no 4m chase today. The next meeting is 5 and a bumper. The 4m chase around Hexham is unique, invigorating and should be rescheduled for then. The only other 4m chase was abandoned in November. I have spoken to today’s sponsor @bkracing123 and he is happy to sponsor this race. There is precedence with Bangor rescheduling its North Wales National only last month. Make it happen @TByrneBHA . Sure trainers from today would support @lucindavrussell @petescu @CWilliamsRacing @NGRichardsRace @MHammondRacing @ColtherdRacing @garyjrutherford @LambdenRacing .

@JonTay2023 @alanferrier That's what we were told. 2026 governments dole out even more in subsidies to the private sector. Many of them foreign owned.
English
@alanferrier The problem was ships were getting built in Korea, Japan, etc for less, better & fewer issues. So less need for the shipyards, especially as there was less Naval ships being built. Govt can’t just keep subsidising companies year after year, decade after decade.
English
I was born and brought up in Greenock and had many friends and family members who worked in the shipyards. I watched old men cry as the cranes came down in the 1970s and '80s. The Clyde was betrayed by your ex-party and their ilk. You disgust me.

Malcolm Offord@Malcolm_Offord
Greenock shaped me. It was where I was born and grew up, and it gave me the values and education to make something of myself. I could have chosen anywhere to stand, but as I always say it matters most what your roots are. So it had to be Inverclyde. greenocktelegraph.co.uk/news/25934674.…
