    I've been waiting for Windforpower to run again. Having a bet on that tonight the 3-1 is fair.

    Windforpower loves the track local trainer drops in grade should go well imo

    20 more races for poor horses running run a track for bookies benefits. mark my words, as soon as the Gov grow a set (maybe never) and introduce the £2 FOBT, AW racing (evening at least) will disappear of the face of the earth! Theres only 1 reason they stay open late and it AINT racing!

    Mind you it will save the usual crowd of 20 people that attend Kempton havibg to wrap up warm!

    Thats 2 out of 36,000 dross...and Enables was an especially arranged race where the 2nd never even tried...like most AW runners!

    To be fair AW is good for....Netball

    There are thousands of poor horses running on turf as well. Just making the point that top class horses can be seen on the AW.

    It's a bit misleading really hippo. More good horses come from the turf as the prize money on offer is far more. Put things in reverse and the majority of good horses would be from the aw it's all about the money! You can't argue with Mugz good horses come from the aw as well. CASH is the deciding factor in most things especially where sport is involved.
