Dec 🔰

@Mathewforthh You’re a strong lad, Matt. You’ve done great putting your life back together and while you don’t feel it right now, you’ve come on leaps and bounds. Keep on keeping on, I’m there if you ever need a chat mate.

@CZHorseRacing @Tipsters2avoid @Mathewforthh @TheSweeney1988 I’ve got a reputation to uphold mate, sorry

@Tipsters2avoid @CZHorseRacing @Mathewforthh @TheSweeney1988 Poor fella, I’m sure he’ll have plenty to say on the 4th

@ScranUnited @CZHorseRacing @Mathewforthh @TheSweeney1988 He’s blocked me after sending me 47 unanswered DMs in 25 minutes. 47 😭😭😭

@CZHorseRacing @Tipsters2avoid @Mathewforthh @TheSweeney1988 Sorry to hear that mate, hope it clears up soon

@Tipsters2avoid @Mathewforthh @CZHorseRacing @TheSweeney1988 Yeah Matt I’ll meet you in Timbuktu mate 👍 has to be between 7:12 and 7:14 though or I can’t make it, sorry. I did offer to meet you tho so take it or leave it. What a moby

@ScranUnited @Mathewforthh @CZHorseRacing @TheSweeney1988 He’s tried naming somewhere as far away from where Matt is from as possible 😂

@Tipsters2avoid @Mathewforthh @CZHorseRacing @TheSweeney1988 Chinned 😭 the bloke can’t even publicly name a pub because he’s scared someone’s gonna triangulate where he lives (no one’s assed) because of the shite he talks

@Mathewforthh @CZHorseRacing @TheSweeney1988 Here we go lads, see you there.

@DarranPearce @dairemn I think he means something along the lines of he's bent. Because he thinks the true nature of the horse is being held back so he can get more out of him etc. Which is rubbish because BS is a dodge pot as you know, if he's asked the question while in front, he stops.

@dairemn What do you mean about getting a pass by the bha?

Got to say I’m surprised the handicapper has only put Barton Snow up 1lb to 146 after his Foxhunters win last week. To me he should be at least 150. That means in recent years the highest mark given to a hunter chaser (as far as I know) is 152 to Mossey Joe after he won the Stratford Foxhunters in 2013 by 20l

@racehorsesrace1 @MrsStarkAdder @BHAHorseracing As someone who’s spoken out against you before, I fully agree with this. Racing needs to be A. Safer, and B. stronger with its communication. We can’t have horses that ‘jump like pigs’ same way we wouldn’t have drivers who ‘drive like Richard Hammond’

@MrsStarkAdder @BHAHorseracing Jump certs should be mandatory & EARNED They've new schooling trials now and this should be trialed as well It's basic common sense

2.30 Hexham today Why NH racing now needs huge URGENT intervention or it has to go The @BHAHorseracing need to stop lobbying for no affordability checks and lobby instead for drastic intervention for NH racing & participant welfare You all see this daily now, speak up 🤔

@gorbalsgoebbels Even though he’s not a better talent, he just won more. It’s a little like tiger and jack (granted they’re way closer in talent) Tiger is mercurial and Jacks the winner, Rory might end up as the winner here and go ahead of Seve. He probably will actually.

The disrespect shown to Seve Ballesteros is a bit like the disrespect shown to Jimmy Greaves, Ian Rush etc because they didn’t score goals in Premier League. Seve was a mercurial talent, a genius,those of us who saw him mean actual genius. Rory is brilliant, but he’s not Seve.

@gorbalsgoebbels There does come a time though where accolades outweigh the talent. Seve at his best is as good as there ever was. But he was ‘hardly’ at his best. Rory is probably going to win 4 -6 more majors in his likely 10 year career. That will put him ahead of Seve as a golfer.

@richardosefton Horses are fragile animals. It’s sad but true, could more be done to protect them? Yeah. Does racing help itself? No. But they’re loved, treated like superstars and the mortality rate on track is almost the same as if they were roaming free in a field. You just don’t understand

A few people asked yesterday if I put on a bet. No I didn’t What a disgusting sport, where gorgeous animals are treated with such contempt I can’t believe some of the videos Ive seen. Horses with broken backs being forced to continue. Etc.

@crescentmoontea @DarranPearce @bryonycdc The whipping doesn’t hurt me. Or anyone. Nevermind a half ton animal. A horse is whipped to tell it to go left or right, not to run faster. Hit on the right, it’s taught to go left. If you understood the game you’d realise A. How much they love it, and B. How well they have it.

@DarranPearce @bryonycdc I don't think Bryony whips her rabbits and forces them to struggle around with a broken spine, though 🤔

i can’t RT that video of the horse that died onto my profile but god. if you’re betting on a ‘sport’ where an animal breaks its back and then the rider continues to whip it until it finishes. then what the fuck is wrong with you

@SigneSol0 @DarranPearce @bryonycdc You can whip me all you like. Because it doesn’t hurt, and it is not a sign for them to go faster.

@DarranPearce @bryonycdc When you volunteer to get whipped while running for your life, - then we talk

@_Hamilton7 @ryanOTHx Boring is the wrong word I do agree, but it’s more so we’re getting robbed of ‘stories’. It’s the classy types winning, it used to be the boats. Like would I am maximus beat red rum off level weights? In this race he’d be lapped. We have a gold cup for a reason, something’s off

@ScranUnited @ryanOTHx It’s not boring, you need a horse good enough to do that. The whole point in sport is for the best to show that they are the best and the beauty of it is sometimes the less favoured upset the odds. We have seen examples of both over the last two GNs

He’s won it x4 times in 30 years. I Am Maximus is a freak.

@2P4E @tonydpoison Yeah I personally watch it only to hear the voice of @RichardHoiles

@tonydpoison I like the "for entertainment" clause you've added, cos it cautiously leaves space open for the possiblity of horse races that have become necessary for some hitherto unfathomed non-entertainment-based reason.

@tonydpoison The moment was horrific. But it’s being blown right out of proportion. People are acting like GDs leg was hanging off and PT was whipping him. It’s just an optic nightmare. Unfortunate for everyone. The biggest problem is how weak racing is on a whole at dealing with it.

I dont even watch horse racing but this picture surely gotta sound the death knell for such a 'sport' The fuck?
