Hey Christian
Don't worry about stable info I'm telling you you are in it two win it those horses you mention are beatable and can't get better while yours can
The only decent tipster in your yard is Marsh and a year or so again he stated Rascalion would win this year's Met possibly a good place double
Take note Cecil
Thanks for email add I appreciate it just don't need stable info but I am going to organize an invite for you and your family to one of our leading breeders who share many a common view with you rather than with me over recent stable movements
Will email you

Just case the Production teams think I have nothing complimentary to say about the viewing product may I draw the attention of the SP Readers to the 4 to 5 minutes used by Mr. Johnny Geroudis interviewing Pierre Strydom after Race 2 at the Vaal today.
It was inciteful, educational, to the point with an additional hint of humour. Well done Gents - valuable viewing for your

Hey thanks Hilton, but only lasted 6 months. The P crowd hates being questioned. I had far tooo many and no answers. They still run the show under a new guise.

There is some merit in William Milkovitch’s comment and worth some discussion.
Unfortunately everyone cannot be pleased. Personally I think that presenters are NOT EXPERTS in tipping and unsure how they base their opinion on the Best Looking horse which often does not even perform to their Best. I think they should allow the viewer to make their own assessment.
Glad this topic has come up, hopefully,the presenters accept this as a positive suggestion and try to improve their output. Often there is too much of unnecessary rambling. What should be compulsory and consistent is to ask the trainer and jockey about their other runners and rides. Winning trainer and jockeys after winning often say that was their best horse is a very slimy response.
Let’s Move Forward Together and make horseracing

I was also surprised by Louis Goosen's response, probably an indication of the stress of managing a smaller yard and finding suitable races. As for the rest I quite enjoy the discussions between on-course presenters purely from an entertainment view. Other than Neil and Nadine I've made up my mind beforehand. I do however believe William's point is not without merit IF he provides reasonable alternatives as he did in a subsequent

I actually enjoyed the banter about the golf and the way the Cape guys interrelate to each other.Its called entertainment and the guys are characters in their own right.Any serious Punters have decided what they are going to bet long before the interaction between presenters take place.People who do not want to put the hard yards into study might love to here what Johnny G or MJ has to say.Yes things could improve especially the viewing of the canter past but I for one enjoy the guys in the Cape chirping each other.Keep it up

Bortz On The Future Of Our Racing
What a fantastic podcast. Well done Warren and well done Andrew.
What a man Greg Bortz is. I found him to be unbelievably humble and quick to praise
his team and colleagues but reluctant to accept accolades about himself.
An inspiring hour plus that absolutely flew

I have a question which is not related to William's suggestion but it's come out in JV's and other responses. What % of horse race wagering goes through the tote? I'm one of the guilty parties that punts through online bookmakers (the big 3) even when I place tote type bets. I do so because it has become habit and also because I happen to have money in those accounts. I suspect much more wagering takes place through online bookmakers than through the tote PS I'm happy to amend my ways (other than fixed price betting) in

Good point Geoff although their are 2 sides to the coin. When I've an overseas permutation in the running I get irritated by the split screen and lack of commentary on especially UK races. However when I've no overseas perm in the running I prefer the Gallop TV

Me too Mark because Scarlet is very dear to our (minority owners) hearts.
I'm happy to pass on stable comments that is not for public consumption. Mr Editor I give your permission to privately forward my contact details to Mr Beck. My personal views pending an update from the stable is that she'll probably run 4th behind DGS, FF and Rascova. I thought she had a decent gallop at Hollywood Bets Kenilworth on the 16th.
She's no longer unexposed and I doubt whether she's still improving (as per the race card comments). What you saw in the Fillies Guineas (FG) is what you'll see again. I can't see her turning the tables on Fatal Flaw. The way she ran in FG (she needs to come off the pace and do her best work late) is the way she should (and will) be ridden. Therefore Kabelo M will allow FF (a front-runner) to get away frrom her again. The fact that this is the 2nd time he'll ride her will be beneficial though.
The only other thing in her favour will be if one of the more fancied runners has an off day because she doesn't know how to run a bad race (she has too much heart/fight for

Watch racing coverage from the US, like for Aqueduct or Saratoga etc. They have a highly knowledgeable person that's with the horses in the saddling enclosure and on parade. Closer to the start they provide excellent feedback on the horses appearance and demeanor, often comparing it to its previous appearances.
We are light years behind in terms of offering punters any constructive
