Thanks for your feedback Dude.

A nicely sanitised rosy version of racing and a bettors' paradise is presented just about everywhere else on a very repetitive basis.

For example in this week's newsletter we could have said what everyone else said and would like to hear such as what a wonderful Blue Diamond meeting we had on Saturday, making sure to omit mention of why we had such a badly rain affected track.

We could have mentioned, like everyone else, what a great win it was by Roedan in the Blue Diamond and what an excellent training feat it was to win the race.

We could have described Northerly's great win over Fields Of Omagh, just like everyone else, and conjectured about their next meeting.

However, our newsletter is used to regularly present comment etc. that will generally not be given a high profile elsewhere, because it is not sanitised. I agree it can be repetitive.

But the newsletter has its own niche and devoted readers who look forward to our comments each week, because they are not necessarily the "politically correct" version of racing presented to them just about everywhere else.

In our view a small counterbalance can do no harm.
