    Come Flat racing - the weather is so much better during the summer!

    PS. Please keep your jacket on.

    Fu*cking wankers.

    PF Nicholls complaining about horses like Kauto Star, Denman and Master Minded not getting enough credit.

    · Not being able to get about the course in peace for said pished lad/ettes
    · Cramped odds with on-course bookmakers
    · Grossly expensive food at catering outlets
    'Picnic' areas right by the rail/steps in Premier at the big meetings at Ascot. Crap and people wearing clothes that don't fit them sprawled all over the place, getting in the way and not even watching the racing.
    Lack of Stewards at Ascot - last meeting someone threw a whole pint over the heads of those in that area from the seats up above.
    Same racecourse: Stewards not keeping the aisles clear - it's like the Normandy beaches trying to get back up the steps if you want to go that way to the pre parade ring for the next race.
    Same racecourse: not being allowed to cross over the horse walk underneath the NCP look alike tunnel at the entry to the parade ring.
    Cost of racecards.
    Cost of entry for most meetings at Ascot and Newbury ( I'm in the South - everywhere else is pretty reasonable)
    The searching of women's handbags but small people with large bags and a whip allowed to walk in unchallenged, and men with large coats on not asked to turn their pockets out or show they are not wearing a strap on vest underneath.

    Bookmakers who immediately shorten up any runner who is reluctant to load/line up or who the jockey has dismounted at the start for an as-yet-unspecified reason or who spreads a plate at the start, in anticipation of a W/D and a bigger Rule 4 deduction.

    Betfair layers cause that.

    Oh so you're judge and jury. Interesting concept. I must start a thread like that.

    If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.

    The geniuses at RUK that decided to only upload on youtube the last 30 seconds of a race when in other parts of the world access to horse racing channels and replays is completely free(eg Aus).

    Geoff Banks - a wanker but thankfully he has blocked me on twitter so i don't see his pish anymore.

    Bruce Millington - this fanny shouldnt even be allowed to edit a Crystal Palace fanzine. I would happily smack his face in with a spade just for being Bruce.

    The Racing Blogger - a fantasist, a liar, and a self obsessed bandwidth thief. Promoted by that dick Bruce as being great for racing. Please explain why promoting a degenerate gambler, who constantly loses on huge odds on shots, and ends up having to feed himself with Yellow Sticker bargain bin food is "great for the sport"

    Trainers who wrap horses in cotton wool, and still charge you a fortune for "training" them. Feck me... twice up the gallops, pop a few fences, walk them for a few miles. Piece of ****.

    Oh and the arse holes who complain about not being able to find racing on the TV as its changed channel.....feck knows how they manage to go for a shite on their own.
