@RacingPost So dull, and honestly the RP should stop giving him a platform for this tiresome drivel. Just report when he is declared, anything else with that stable is a waste of time

🚨 UPDATE: Nicky Henderson says a "crucial" piece of work this week will provide the answer as to whether or not Constitution Hill takes his place in the Boodles Champion Hurdle at Punchestown on Friday week

@PuntingWinners Pretty naive Jack, I don't think it's reasonable that someone who has admitted to not doing there job properly is going to get a free pass simply because that admission came out in an interview they didn't have to give
English
I’m a youngish bloke (although don’t feel like one) who’s just trying to make some headway in the game. The first bit of exposure I get in the sport is a complete tear down of the person who was generous enough to give me his time. They protest an ‘inclusive’ sport, anything but

The third article written this week with barely a mention for those that actually provided the interview which initiated it @BarstewardsThe
James holds an opinion and is being vilified for it. As ever with racing, if you express anything aside from the stock line, you’re toast

@calamkirst @AffordablePship @plumptonraces @RacingPost I am not in any way suggesting fatalities and injuries should not be reported. Just that, in my opinion, uploading videos of horses in obvious discomfort and whose future remains unclear feels unnecessary and at worst a bit ghoulish

Mr Freedom has just left @plumptonraces for the Sussex Equine Hospital on veterinary advice to be monitored for 24/48 hrs.
After sedation, he's not where they would like him to be.

@Southwell_Races Roughly the same retail value as the prize money on offer. Is that what you spend it on instead?

@JMHorseRacing Though it's a bad error, anyone there in person who say the horse after it got up would have come to the same conclusion. I can't believe he walked away, though unfortunately fear he is far from out of the woods yet

@AntepostValue @tony_calvin @AKBets But 10% won't, even 1% won't so your point has no relevance does it. You've obviously got it all worked out so set your own firm up, show them all where they are going wrong
English
Relax mate, it’s Sunday morning. You don’t have to take it so literally 🤣
If 10% of them sign up, it’s still worth more than a traders time to price it. My point being, you’re looking at it as one bet. It’s not, it’s one new customer.
Get on Betfair 😂
It’s a special, you can’t lay a special
English
@AntepostValue @tony_calvin @AKBets You are deluded if you think the millisecond it takes to like a post equates to all those people signing up to a bookmaker because he offers a bet they don't even want to place. If it's such a missed opportunity get on Betfair and lay it yourself
English
I’d disagree completely. I put a post out suggesting The Willie Mullins bet. Over 210,000 views and 243 likes
If they are the only bookmaker offering this bet and just the 243 sign up to AK Bets to place that bet, it’s not about what they take on that bet alone. It’s about the lifetime value of every account that signs up! Worth much much more than a few quid on one special

@west527662 @AtTheRaces Been a fair while since that guys been to work on a Monday morning
English
@AtTheRaces Living the dream. To all those that knock and mock this guy. Fck you 😂😂🥂 imagine going into work on Monday and telling them what you achieved at the weekend. Tbh one of his better rides too.
English
@AntepostValue @tony_calvin @AKBets It costs them more in man hours to price it up than they believe any better you put on it will make them. Your overthinking this
English
Genuinely curious, what would be the reason as to why a bookmaker wouldn’t price up a selection or request?
I’ve sent into AK twice in the last week, for Willie not to win any G1 Novice Race @ Chelt and asked for a horse to be priced up for Martin Pipe. Both declined.
Completely the bookmakers prerogative but intrigued as to why these wouldn’t be offered but a sham Tipster league would be?
English
@adams_gg_bets2 Ah that makes more sense.
Your some man for one man pal lol
English
@Shaneymac841458 @FatPunter Yeah cos we should run a sport based on what's most convenient for it's participants. No more premiership football in weekends and evenings. Monday to Friday 9 - 5 only
English
@FatPunter Stable staff get home a lot Earlier, makes perfect sense especially of a Saturday. I'm sure stable staff if asked would take an early start early finish over afternoon start , then home all hours
English
First race at Lingfield Park is 10.15 am.
Who in their right minds thinks that this is a good idea? Is the sun even up at this time of the year, never mind stable staff having to clock on in the middle of the night. The sooner this "Premierisation" is scrapped the better.
English
@YeomansonCarol @FatPunter What about your fellow members who live a fair way from King field? Do they think it's great getting up at 5 or having to pay for a hotel the night before? It's an awful idea which cheapens the sport.
English
@FatPunter I hate to tell you this people but there are a lot of people who think it's great. Syndicate members for one. I'm with a Syndicate who frequently has a horse running at Lingfield. We're in the Owners Suite. Our Owner and Trainer have no problem. Nor do we.
English
@NandJ_WilliamsR Have a word with your stable jockeys and hope all others will do the same. It's typically them who are the ones saying it's unfit. Courses are naturally desperate to run
English
If the only place of question at Ludlow was a relatively small patch under the grandstand, was there not anything that could have been done? British racing is getting increasingly worse in terms of abandonments, rather than better
English
@parkie_parkes @NandJ_WilliamsR You can't race in any conditions Gavin just because it was fit up to 6 hours earlier. That's a ridiculous statement
English
@NandJ_WilliamsR If it's raceable at 10am you race, regardless. If not, it's off regardless.
English
@John1986ire @jlaw1981 Terrible take John. This is a sample size of one you are using. Sure let's call Good Cup day off if they have a downpour on the Thursday night.....
English
It’s this simple, if a racecourse isn’t raceable the night before then you call it off .
