It’s difficult to accept that standards of decency have declined so much in such a short space of time.

I’d suggest the key difference is in the terms ‘system’ & ‘systematic’. If a system uses info in the public domain it will eventually be oversubscribed & die. A systematic approach however includes nuance which is likely to be unique & protects it from over subscription.

Arsenal fans were unusually quiet about refereeing decisions today, particularly that one. Gabriel’s behaviour totally in keeping with their approach to the game.

Have to say, and I don’t mean this disrespectfully, I see parallels with Stoute & Henderson. The gradual shift away in terms of dominance & top class contenders from their yards. Natural of course but still sorrowful to see it happening.

Most of my books are in storage so I can’t post the pic but one I remember quite well is The Art of Legging.

Thing is, even when you don't really see them winning, when it's a mud bath her horses just do better.

Softest ground he won on was a C4 hurdle at Ayr in '21 when it was heavy. After that it was at Wetherby on G/S in '22.

Ah yes and I really like him too. Would love to follow him today but on balance just think others might be better suited to the combination of conditions. Hopefully it's a great race.

Can I ask why you've taken out Bravemansgame? Seems ok on this ground to me.

It's his record on anything this soft that has put me off him. Drifted in the betting too.

Good luck Steve. Here's one of my models filtered to today's conditions. It's a very open race I think.

She looked very cool. Maybe some of the more experienced jocks could learn from that.

I'm not a RaceShare owner Simon but FWIW I have La Pulga running to his current mark recently (not 21/09 over 13.1f). I suspect the issue, if there is one, is the distance. Almost a career high rating currently but apart from one run in '22 he's not run to that when going beyond 12.4f.

She’s good James but the stats were against her. I’d post a link to my notes if I could work out how. You can read it if you look at my timeline.

Yes I had it switched on because of that but that seems to be the reason I couldn't post the image. Will try and work it out later.
