Spot on. From an outside perspective, the amount of time that’s wasted dreaming up new ways to sell the sport, when they miss very basic elements of the current experience, is very frustrating.
🗣"If we believe that the unique selling point of horse racing is the horse and you want people to learn about racing, you need to bring them down to the paddock"
@RichardHoiles and @acmulrennan share their view on enabling racegoers to see more of the horses before a race.

Can’t help but agree with @gelliott_racing, the sport should be focused on increasing competitiveness from the ground up, rather than restrictive top down measures like this. Essentially an admission of failure from those in charge.
🗣 "I'm trying to support these races for the racecourses and the sponsors. It's the owners that own the horses. You can't stop owners from having runners"
Gordon Elliott is unimpressed by the proposal to limit runners in major handicaps

@humanforest_uk I rented a bike at Hammersmith bridge but your app blocked me parking it anywhere in Barnes. I can rent and drop a Lime bike anywhere. Is Forest deliberately limiting its operating zone? Hope you can help as it would stop me using a (very good) service again 🙏

Exciting times for @boltapp in Ireland! #Bray is our first multimodal location in IE with electric bikes joining existing ride hailing services to the south of Dublin! #sustainabletransport
So this group’s aim is to stop breeding of animals for any human purpose (food, pet, sport), is there a figure on what proportion of the population agree with this? @RacingPost – at Brent, London

This is crazy. International sports need strong competition to survive. So if the smaller nations lose all good players to franchise 💵 then there is no one left for India 🇮🇳 to play! @ICC

Fascinating look at EV scene in Norway where despite 80% transition to EV 🚗 the city of Oslo still wants to reduce the number of cars by a third. – at Frankfurt on the Main, Germany
