under starters orders

Please please can we not a show like we did last week.We need trainers input not Daryl Marees input.why cant Nico and his team have the decency to put on a show like Gold Circle does for its punters.we are sicking and tired of self praise and now you are forcing Daryl Maree down our throats.Time for punters to be really listened to and not be appreciated on some funny video.

It's not often that I come to the defense of TT, but imo 'trainer's input' is overrated - the only info actually needed from them is when a horse is returning form a break - to tell us if the horse is likely to need the run or not - and even that is only based on the trainer's opinion - and they have been wrong many times. I think Darryll is by far the best tipster around - he does not only point out the blatantly obvious, he actually 'studies' the form - Women of the Year on Tuesday night serves as a good example

I agree with you Frodo, about the trainer info,a can`t win or will win would be nice now and then...

Or even a definate maybe :S

A 'definite maybe' is what they are mostly trying to say - although they may use a lot of other terms - 'will be right there'; 'will run a good race'; 'sure to go close in this field', 'goes over his/her right trip today', 'hard to beat', etc

100% correct....-D

one of my biggest wins ever, was with a horse called "Glad Tiger". he won tremendously fighting a group 2 race.

after the race the trainer told the interviewer, that he even thougt the day before racing, to scratch "glad tiger", because his last trainig was worse than horrible!
he did not even expext him to be in the placings... (and it is quite a good trainer)!
