Actually having a daughter that has played football to a very high standard where everything you can imagine was monitored and analysed on a regular basis there is an awful lot of evidence to link dips in performance to a woman’s cycle. A woman’s training regime was at times adjusted so as to not place undue pressure at the wrong time. It is not unknown for starting positions and players to be moved to the bench for this reason. There is also a great deal of evidence that top sportswomen are more prone to serious injury based on their cycle.

I know that probably no one on the forum would agree with me politically and socially outside of racing, but I've always enjoyed that this is a forum where different people can come together and discuss racing. If the post from GV however is the kind of stuff that people do want to see on here, let me know cos you can count me out of that kind of tripe.

People make mistakes.
I also think the target of the joke was not women, but ourselves, because of the ridiculous search for information and analysis of statistics many of us do to help us make betting choices.
Tiger Woods recent attempt at humour, by implication was probably far more offensive. But possibly funnier.
