Didn't see the race but surprised he went off that price with bachasson in the field. How did bachasson run?

Get the ATR app and you can watch the race on it.

Gordon Elliott sends 4 over to Ayr tomorrow and jack Kennedy on the 2 in the Gordon Elliott racing club colours where as Richard Johnson is on the other too, anyone have an idea why Kennedy isn't on them all

Francie Barrett · 15-01-2017 05:55PM

Forum legend See Double You also making the trip over to Ayr at the ripe old age of 14. I was told be one of the connections that they've tried retiring him, but he just wanted to keep going! Shame I don't feel the same way about heading into work tomorrow.

Yeah I seen it. I think he would have won had he not ran into the horse that finished third about a furlong out that was his worst mistake. Not sure he would have won had he not stood up before the line it was only the difference of about 10 yards but who knows the winner was crawling home, that run in at Kelso today was brutal some in running carnage id say.

Heres a link for those that may have missed it.

Hardly mistaken the winning post as they are like lollipops with the red circle on top..

If McCoy was on board, would have got back up but maybe not the amateur:)

Packers and Cowboys one of the best games I ever saw

Did they not ever give a shout to say he was running the shower of f1ucks

Copper_pipe · 17-01-2017 09:55AM

He's in my tracker now anyway

Francie Barrett · 19-01-2017 04:53PM

Anyone see the state of the riding in the 3:45 at Southwell? Don't think Serena Brotherton will have won many easier races than that before.

Francie Barrett · 19-01-2017 05:45PM

4:50 at Meydan looks interesting. Pat Cosgrave back on Anaerobio for the first time since he was banned here for 6 months after giving up the lead to a stablemate!

Its interesting but the bottom line is....they werent relegated so the bookie is correct not to pay..
They died,were liquidated,ceased to exist...A new club applied for admission to the bottom tier of the scottish league

Agree. A price to be "relegated" isn't the same as a price to be liquidated and cast out of the league. And not the same as cases where clubs finish bottom after points are docked when they go into administration either.

Final Furlong pod were talking about this and predicting the punter would win.

Peintre Celebre · 20-01-2017 07:35AM

It's as if coral hired the most clueless counsel re gambling they could find some of the statements he came out with were peculiar to put it mildly. The claimant was a pro because he 'took part in an activity in the pursuit of profit'. Even the biggest mug is seeking profit what a statement

Peintre Celebre · 20-01-2017 07:37AM

Can't listen to the final furlong it's absolute cringe. Their voices would go through you and they have these like private jokes that regular listeners obviously get but they giggle like school girls whispering about their first sexual encounter

Kennedy presenting is cringe absolutely with all the gravy talk etc, but he is the driving force obviously and did well to get hooked up with ATR and has some great guests on such as Wylie, Henderson recently.

Really enjoying Kevin Blake, Tony Keenan and Rory Delargy however.

BumperD · 20-01-2017 12:24PM

Aside from the canned laughter from emmet, I really enjoy it

For this alone they should lose the case, fluke win for sure but a win imo.

It means nothing
Anyone can put anything they want in print..It doesnt make it true

Rangers died and ceased to exist .They were never relegated.A new club was formed..

Donald Trump is a good man...( see thats not true but could possibly be used in his defence at his war crimes trial next year)

Gamebred · 20-01-2017 02:26PM

Wrong, they are debating the term relegation if you followed the case, in court they are claiming they werent relegated, on their website they have contradicted themselves, he will be paid his money there was nothing in the betting rules about liquidation they started the next season in a lower division simple as that,

;the transfer of a sports team or player to a lower division of a league.

That is the definition of the word.

Except Rangers were never transferred to Division 3. The club finished the season, then went bankrupt and was wound up. An entirely new club was then created, this new club bought the Rangers name from the now bankrupt entity and then actually had to apply to the Scottish FA for admittance into the third division.

I hope this lad gets the money, but I don't see how he has a leg to stand on.

I dont know much about the case but I'm pretty sure they are still rangers football club? new owners doesnt mean its a new club.
