Brighton V

Tops the tissue on the mark: 3yo, effectively 1lb below his Yarmouth winning mark after the allowance and 5lb lighter, Ghiani won on him. Against: that win came in a 3-runner race at 1/2; beaten 26.4L as favourite last time; AW record 0/2, both beaten 10L+ (tried and failed on this surface); Knight 51 days without a winner, 0/10 in 14 days. Penalty OR 82 = still in class.

Star Time

Won over today's course and distance 19 days ago, 'readily' by 4.5L, with Probert, who rides again (Probert won yesterday, combo 5-1 at Kempton). Raised 7lb but 8lb lighter. Against: steps up from Class 5 to Class 4; King 0/13 in 14 days; AW October Negative for 5yos (tiebreaker only). Penalty OR 78 = still in class.

The answer i received was he did not know what the problem is ? Quite a few websites etc recently have had issues. Today my Email service is not working correctly ? Maybe related to that PHP crisis ?
Forums are probably going to be very susceptible to that bug but it's an easy enough fix. The patch came out very quickly.
There's only so much you can do in forum software though unless you're hosting it yourself.

Mike , do you know what happened at Musselburgh 7f 33yds 2023 vs 7f 15yds in 2024? Did they move the distance?

It's the exact same race, they just measure them differently now and have audited a lot of courses over the last few years. Some were just plain wrong distances to begin with, others have copped for standardisation.

Even the Grand National has had it's distance adjusted even though it's the same race.
