almost apropos of nothing, but a couple of years ago the budget on ITV's stream service had a comments box where people could leave their thoughts in real time. And some guy kept writing "STICK THE LOT ON PRESENTING PERCY"

Still tickles me almost 3 years later

Wonder how that fella watching PP go lame and run no sort of race. Probably had his whole mortgage on that race

Poor old Kev !

Not sure how many people notice this but... on YouTube Racing podcasts or shows like UTA etc there’s a bloke in the comment section who goes by the name Wayne Harrison but has many different accounts who just spouts utter shite. Has anyone noticed him?

For those who haven’t - he belittles anyone that comments claiming that he is all knowledgeable and posts all his bets (which are all shorties).

does he

I have noticed him as well, must lead a very sad life indeed with the muck he spouts, total muppet

Gave all that money from the Pertemps and the RSA back

He probably got it by jumping across Kemboy and forcing the unseat. Self inflicted wound.

This is almost certainly something I should know, but I don't so therefore i'll brave asking... RP site now has entries for some festival races, which among other methods can be found when you visit a certain horses profile (Finest Evermore, in this case), but in big block capitals includes the words 'POSSIBLE ENTRIES' - Is this literally just what it says on the tin, a list that the RP has drawn up itself? Or is it a tentative list of entries trainers have submitted themselves? Thank you and kind regards for bearing with me.

Entries will be out in January, Jorvik. I've always wondered why they have possible entries as it is pointless.

I like it as it is an easy way of seeing the odds comparisons for me and yes I know its a makey up idea of entries

In case you hadn't noticed in the National Hunt Section - I've put the link to the Fairyhouse Grade 1 card - link below

2020_ONOR353 (hri-ras.ie)

No Quilixios in the Grade 3 Juvenile, Gordon goes with Zanahiyr and Glorious Zoff.

Shewearsitwell doesnt take on Ballyadam, that makes N'Golo, Willie's only runner. in the Royal Bond.

Envoi Allen has a cake-walk as expected, against Coko Beach, Assemble and Home By The Lee.
(a Grade 1 in name only, like the mid-season UK ones).

Honeysuckle has Beacon Edge, Supasundae, Fury Road, Ronald Pump, Bacardys and Cracking Smart to beat. (A much better field for this open 2M4F Grade 1 Hurdle) - No Saldier.

[Faugheen_Machine]

It's a very uninspiring card. The Grade 1s are garbage.

[Can't Catch Me]

Very underwhelming. Normally one of the best cards of the year.

We will probably learn nothing.


Best case scenario, the hot pots win - but they all get cut in price.

Any defeat will look awful.



Not really much to take from it, other than another tick along the road. That's not a saying is it, tick along the road? Come on Kev.

Yep, poor show . Honeysuckle race looks decent. She has the most to gain/Lose. Fury Road could really enhance his Stayers claim with a good showing. Crossroads for Beacons Edge as well.

Quite frustrating really. Great racing is quality horses running against one another, not ducking one another. I am still excited but much less so

Yeah these 3 and 4 runner uncompetitive novice events irritate me and when shown on live TV will do nothing to attract new viewers/fans...
