Incompetent stewards imo. Title: Re: Racing History made at Worcester Post by: dan on July 01, 2009, 08:29:13 PM LOL, I couldnt beleive this today when I saw it was abandoned. We seem to have hardly any racing in Worcester anymore. The racing season in Worcester got moved to the summer a few years ago because the river runs alongside the course and floods every winter. It has flooded for the last 2 summers too. The floods 2 years ago wiped out the whole season IIRC and now we get it abandoned cuz its too fkin hot LOL
Title: Re: Racing History made at Worcester Post by: The Camel on July 01, 2009, 08:31:40 PM Jump racing should't be happening on July 1st anyway.
Flat Racing: March - November Jump Racing: September - May.

Flat Racing: March - November Jump Racing: September - May. It shouldn't but it was supposed to be the only way we could get a full,or close to full season in. Title: Re: Racing History made at Worcester Post by: The Camel on July 01, 2009, 08:41:38 PM Crap horses running on firm ground.
Not of any interest to anyone and dangerous for the horses and jockeys. Waste of time imo. Title: Re: Racing History made at Worcester Post by: steeveg on July 01, 2009, 08:43:21 PM yes,all the stables are made from wood ,the horses where very hot before they even got to the paddock, i cant believe this situation hasnt happened before in the past and just ignored. racing is far more PC nowadays
Title: Re: Racing History made at Worcester Post by: boldie on July 01, 2009, 09:02:22 PM Good decision IMO.
I used to be with Camel on the summer jumping (same with winter racing TBH) but the Summer jumps meetings have actually improved quite a big and I'm starting to become a bit of a fan of them as the form is fairly reliable. Title: Re: Racing History made at Worcester Post by: steeveg on July 01, 2009, 09:14:29 PM yes form for coming months used to be very missleading as well,lot easier to win good prize money this time of year making a horse look better than he is,seems a biit better last couple of years, but i still dont trust the form in months to come
