    My initial view/guess, is only about half…..….so if this could be the case, then maybe there is still value in these markets?……just got to predict which ones !

    Sir Gino
    BDA
    Cons Hill
    The New Lion
    Jonbon
    Teahupoo
    GDC
    Lulamba


    It’s a huge surprise looking at all the so called good things that only one is trained by Willie

      but you must create an account and be logged in.
      pain in the arse but no cost
      You're right, going down the Sporting Life route of everything behind an account.

        You'd wonder if the business plan is to get everyone signed up to accounts and then to consequently bring in a charge for the information.

          Oh I bet that is absolutely the case and plan here.

          At least Racing Post's account isn't linked with Slybet.

              Depends when you backed them. Be very lucky for more than 3/4 to win I'd say. Very rare for all the Bankers to oblige. The bookies will get them beat.

                • I honestly hope any trainer apart of the PRA wanting to be paid for interviews doesn't get anything

                    I'd not interview any of them for the foreseeable regardless of how it turns out, I will say if they didn't do the interviews before & after races maybe we'd get to see the horses in the parade ring,going to post, no fluff, no backslapping faux frienships "Isn't everyone fucking marvellous" nonsense, just the horses, I'd be quite happy with as little human interaction as possible as they don't give nothing of real interest away anyhow, no trainer is ever giving you a good steer on tv, if anyone believes they are I've some magic beans for sale.

                            • Heads up for Sandown, suffered more rain than forecast and course now part waterlogged, considering all chase card for Saturday.
                              Of course watering the shit out of the course for 8 months nothing to do with this....

                              • Just seen the racing post have moved to an account based system to access most of the Web features. I already had one due to previously being a paid member, however this is just another data grab to then sell for those who used to view freely.

                                Sportinglife or attheraces are much better in comparison for their accounts based services. (free replays mainly)

                                The racing post would be better off cutting their overhead and getting rid of a few hacks. How many people need to write about the decline of horse racing on a daily basis? Farcical.
