Has this been the least informative period of xmas racing ever?

Has this been the least informative period of xmas racing ever?

What makes you say that ?
Have you backed every winner ?

I just don't think we've learnt a whole lot.

'What have we learnt from this?' - 'Don't leave your dildo lying around?" - 'Don't let it out your sight'

There have been quite a few Grade 1's that were more like Grade 3's (e.g., Neville Hotel Novice Chase).

We've seen lots of gimmes from the front, like Facile Vega and Dysart Dynamo.

In a similar vein, felt like quite a lot of uncompetitive racing where stalemates have 'knocked heads' but not really.

I don't feel like we learnt much re the QMCC, Champion Hurdle or Stayers (barring Home By The Lee is good and Bob isn't)

Thoroughly enjoyable, don't get me wrong, and just one mans opinion.

The entire season has been a dud so far really

The ground too fast
The frozen ground
Tiny fields
Weak grade 1s
Loads of massive odds on shots having schooling sessions
a plus tard pulling up in the betfair then missing the savills

The highlights would be the king george and Constitution hill

Plus maybe galopin thumping fakir doudaries

The benefit I guess is that the DRF will be very good and very informative

Tbf, probably sums up the last few seasons.

Insightful !

They'll make one or two mistakes I'm sure.

Let’s hope so!!

Think the cash out is limited to 30 or 40 bets. Not sure why but I have noticed the same thing.

Interesting as mine is 70 which is annoying as there's some I'd like to cash to move over to NRNB with WH.

Carnage at Taunton agrees - Ed Chamberlain is one of the most painful people to watch on telly, anyone else agree? I cannot stand his presenting style, if you can call it that. I'm all for celebrating greatness and being enthusiastic, but Ed drowns in superlatives to describe pretty much every scenario that unfolds in front of him. I find his tone, demeanour and way of presenting so bloody irritating, to the point where even a pause irritates me. I don't think he's fundamentally bad at his job and I think he has racings best interest at heart, but, I think I'd rather gargle my own piss for an hour than watch Ed Chamberlain present for a full 5 minutes.

Thats the bad news, on a more positive note, my New Years resolution to be more tolerant is going swimmingly well

The racing today at cheltenham has been really good!

They need to keep that 2-4f race on this card. Keep the PPGC in November, move the December race to New Years Day, and get rid of the one in Jan. Keep the one in Jan.

New Years day, not much else going on, great attendance today, looked like a lot of families where out too

Haha, reading through that i gradually realised I was going to find nothing to disagree with , so I won’t bother trying!!
I don’t think you mentioned nauseas though, so I will add that to your accurate assessment

Anybody got the official attendance from Cheltenham today? It felt absolutely rammed!
