I also had the Irish News in my hand and was comparing them.  Was suprised to see that Red Hand has the exact same tips in the IN.  This lazy journalism or are they the same person?

"Redhand" and "Newsboy" have been providing tips to loads of Newspapers for 120 years.

Because if they both don't win you only get paid out on the place prices.  You need both horses to win for a decent return for horses in around the prices you have mentioned.

Tipped that beast up on here for a handicap at Wincanton a few weeks ago and it ran like a hairy goat. Hope people reclaimed the losses today.

That Hugh Taylor is some operator alright. He puts the overhyped Pricewise to shame. Segal is good for some of the big flat sprint handicaps but he's rubbish over jumps.

Steeplechase and hurdle racing in the Australian state of Victoria will be abolished in 2010, prompted by the deaths of 20 horses in two years.

The decision follows a comprehensive review of the sport and has been welcomed by animal welfare groups.

However, members of the racing industry have reacted with anger, calling it "unbelievable" and "appalling".

Racing's governing body in Victoria had conceded that the sport was in decline because of mounting safety concerns.

Furious response

Animal rights campaigners have described racing over hurdles and fences as not only shameful and barbaric but "morally wrong".

An official review of the industry last year recommended a raft of new safety measures, all of which were adopted by authorities in Victoria.

Despite the changes, the fatalities have continued, with eight horses dying in races this season.

The deaths prompted an urgent investigation, which has resulted in the banning of the sport.

It has drawn a furious response from some owners, trainers and jockeys.

Steeplechase events in Victoria will go on for another year in an attempt to soften the impact of their abolition on those involved.

Neighbouring South Australia, the only other state in the country that allows jump racing, has said its programme will continue and hopes to attract trainers and horses from Victoria.

However, officials in South Australia are not celebrating and have expressed deep concerns about the long-term viability of their steeplechasing industry.
