BP1960 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 When I met him he was very helpful, maybe people took advantage of this good nature and clubs should do more IMO to take care of youths, who as Jose mentioned become bored after training and fall into bad habits.

Did you manage to persuade any wealthy racehorse owners to buy the club? What happened to the one who was interested in us, but turned to rugby league instead, would he still be a proposition?

I have a large string of racehorses myself (16 at the last count) but I wouldn't be calling myself wealthy! (or indeed claim to own all of them...)

BP1960 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I once was part of a horse racing syndicate. Our horse finished down the field on 10 consecutive occasions then our trainer ran it in a race 300 miles away giving us no indication of its chances. Being fed up of throwing away money I didn't have a penny in it, and of course it won....at 50/1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope because those issues would have been settled with the 3 crooks and the administrator. Also it wasn't Chris Moore who sold the club to Abdallah or it wasn't Chris Moore who created Brassbank to asset strip the club. That's like blaming the dinosaurs for Covid.

It was all part of the deal without which the club would probably have folded (and saved us all the grief). They weren't separated from the club by Brassbank as they were not part of the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are exceptions but betting patterns tell you all you need to know. Trainers and owners tend to know when a horse is going in! Of course they are not. That's very different to the whole sport being bent. Here's an example from the meeting I was at yesterday. A horse with absolutely no worthwhile form(unseated rider at second having made blunder at first then tailed off last in two subsequent starts) won on its first run in a handicap. Obvious conclusion - wasn't trying very hard to get its handicap mark as low as possible. However its SP was 66/1 so clearly its connections did not have it off big time - the horse just made a mug of everybody. Very few trainers are serious punters these days - it's too risky; how do they know that there isn't something equally fancied from another yard? There are money and people involved so, yes, there are some dodgy dealings just as there are in every other walk of life where those two factors are involved.

Not remotely interested in boxing but the integrity of all sports is important. Every week there are huge shocks in football but there is very little suspicion of throwing games.
