Syncronized, 10 to 1, Worth a punt?

Did you have a bet on that horse?

Forgot my Betfair password, better not win!!!

And Paddy Power has crashed (2 years in a row on National day..)

Just through off his AP Mcoy before the race even started!! May not get him caught!

R.I.P. Syncronized.......

How did it die?

Seam rash or rotten sills?

2 horses died.....God I hate that race!!!!!

Cruel race ...should be stopped for good and sod the tradition...two more horses lost their lives for what ....money that's all

Exactly!

Another syncro in the great scrapyard.

Gutted I'm ten quid down now!!!

The horsey world is a cruel place, its not all jolly hockey sticks you know

Get over yourselves...
Everyone to their own!
Some folks would not agree with people in 4 x 4's or on dirt bikes churning up the countryside!

I'm not Pro or anti racing, but even I can see a difference between churning up a bit of soil/stones (on many lanes only there/maintained because of TBF/LR members) and breeding animals to run so hard their hearts pack-up or forcing them to jump fences so high that it can shatter their bones for entertainment. Can't you?

Live and let live Karl, thats what I'm saying.

People are quick to jump on the "I'm holier than you" bandwagon.

I live in the heart of Sherwood Forest, and every week, I see off road dirt bikers, and tattooed F***-Whitt's, driving pumped land rovers and the like, ripping the "pooh" out of the countryside!...Certainly not on lanes that are only open due to the type of clubs that you mention.

People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones IMO.

And lets be honest, had the horse that died not had SYNCRO in it's name, it would not have even been mentioned on here, would it?
