Sure are. Many. Thousands.

What a crackup. The scale has been changed based on a study of 90,000 handicap runners and only 5,000 WFA runners. And the numbers represent trying to address a very marginal imbalance in both margin and success rate (from both the handicap and WFA races). And is a poor method anyway since it focuses predominantly on strike rate. Which I could go on about but Thomass would call me arrogant. I wonder what looking at handicap races did for them.

Not much point in that. He'll only have worked them out on Sunday to send to you.

Many posts on the meaning of many, on a racing site. Anyone would think this was a site for remedial English students.

Could be FTF. What is guaranteed is that he doesn't know the difference between "many races" and "many of the races". He thinks they are the same. He is uneducated. I think there are many grains of sand at my local beach. Thomass doesn't think so. His stupidity knows no bounds.

The only idiot on here would be you. Because saying minimal would be odd given the number is indefinite, and more in line with 10,000 to 20,000 races. Its subjective, I think that's many, you think that's minimal. Each to their own.

Just for you, here's another one. I should be charging you a tuition fee, loser. Take special note of the forms 'many of' and 'many more' and note the equivalent use of 'a lot of' as in the way I have been using it. Enjoy loser. many 1. 'many' used in front of a plural noun You use many immediately in front of the plural form of a noun to talk about a large number of people or things. Many young people worry about their weight. Her music is popular in many countries. In positive statements, 'many' is slightly formal, and a lot of is often used instead. A lot of people agree with this view. See lot In questions and negative statements, many is usually used rather than 'a lot of'. Do many people in your country speak English? There are not many books in the library. 2. 'many of' To refer to a large number of the people or things in a particular group, you use many of in front of a plural pronoun, orin front of a plural noun phrase beginning with the, these, those, or a possessive such as my or their. Many of them were forced to leave their homes. Many of the plants had been killed by cold weather. Many of his books are still available. 3. 'many' used as a pronoun Many is sometimes used as a pronoun to refer to a large group of people or things. This is a fairly formal use. Many have asked themselves whether this was the right thing to do. Be Careful! Don't use 'many' or 'many of' before an uncountable noun, to talk about a large quantity or amount of something. Usemuch or much of. See much 4. 'many more' You can use many with more to emphasize the difference in size between two groups of people or things. I have many more friends here than I did in my home town. We have had many more problems recently than before.

You are a very good example of the issues society faces by wanting to have people with an intellectual disability living in the communities as if they are able to function as a somewhat intelligent person. You get what we have here. You. Try and learn something from the Oxford dictionary. ADJECTIVE, PRONOUN, & DETERMINER A large number of. as determiner ‘many people agreed with her’ as pronoun ‘the solution to many of our problems’ ‘many think bungee jumping is a new craze’ as adjective ‘one of my many errors’

Certainly is. Was a long time ago. Only you didn't realise how wrong you were and still are. You are 100%, the site clown. Everyone is telling you and you can't even understand how right they are. You post crap after crap after crap. You're an imbecile.

Get yourself a bib.

Well I said it can be many. And I'm sure I'm right. I have over 20000 races that were won by 0.05L or less in my own data. Many of them WFA as that is what the UK run a lot of. I guess 20000 isn't many. It is a subjective term. Seems like many to me.

I'm talking about how many races are potentially affected by 0.05L change due a handicap change. There are many races that are potentially affected run under WFA by a 0.05L margin change. Clear? The % is irrelevant. It wouldn't be classified as 'many' if the resulting number was small. The only thing you got right is 3% of SFA isnt many. But 0.001% of a large number can easily be many.

So many posts in this thread all down to you being illiterate. You can't stick to the topic, because you get smashed.

You clearly weren't content with the level of self humiliation on yourself. So you added to it. I use 'many' as per the dictionary definition. You don't. The dictionary and I must be wrong. Write to the dictionaries and tell them they have the definition wrong. Let us know how you get on.

It would. When I said many races, I didn't mention WFA. I'll let that slide. So even so, the number of WFA races in the NH runs into the many thousands. A number I couldn't count. I didn't say over any timeframe. When they change the scale, that is in perpetuity until the next time it changes. Hundreds of thousands of races, many thousands of WFA races depending on when they next change it. They run a high number of non handicap races every year. Not set weight races either. Many would be a good word to use there. Additionally, why do NH handicappers know the impact and other jurisdictions don't. Are NH handicappers better. Since they don't use the same metric. Why didn't the NH handicappers know it before given you said they are changing it? Maybe they don't know much. Like you.

As I said, trainers are telling you how to bet. Nice.

I've come across about 300 stupid people. Many people. A very small % of the people I've encountered. You are the most stupid. Someone called you a dunce. Very fitting. Many relates to a number. Simple. It means a large number and its subjective. Its not a large number out of the total. Just a large number. Did you not understand the Oxford Dictionary definition? Clearly not. If someone wanted to say 'a high percentage of', that's what they would say. In your dunce world, if you have one apple in your hand and that is all the apples, you'd claim to have many apples. As I say, go and get an education. People are likely not posting due to the continual diatribe highlighting something they already know. That you're thick. But I see you are getting as much support as usual. If you can't comment on the topic, likely because you have nothing to offer, then go somewhere else. You offer nothing to this site which was at its best when you went off for a sulk. Diddums.

Why would I let it go when every time you respond, you prove how stupid you are. I even gave you the definition of many. And you couldn't even understand it. 'many' is a simple word, yet you have managed to go your entire life without knowing what it means. Which is a classic. Come back and tell us again that many means in relation to the total. Can't wait.

If I had around 3000 grains of rice in a bowl. I have many grains of rice. If I had around 3000 grains of rice in a bowl that had around 100,000 grains of rice in it, I still have many grains of rice. Your English is appalling. Seek help. I have come across many stupid people, but you would be the most stupid I've ever observed. You have zero ability to learn. Even though I've come across many stupid people, I've only come across likely less than 0.001% of the people. ADJECTIVE, PRONOUN, & DETERMINER A large number of. as determiner ‘many people agreed with her’ as pronoun ‘the solution to many of our problems’ ‘many think bungee jumping is a new craze’ as adjective ‘one of my many errors’

Send an email to all these expert handicappers telling them they all have it wrong. The WFA scale does not change for wet tracks. The ratings based handicapping system does not change for wet tracks. And does not change for different distances. The apprentice allowances offered do not change for wet tracks. And do not change for different distances. You know more them them so you claim. How arrogant. Still waiting for the links to ANY actual studies. Nothing? Thought so.

Knew you couldn't quantify it. You're a complete waste of time.

So how many lengths is two wide without cover for 300 metres in a straight line?

Stupid strikes again. Keep them coming.

Stupid strikes again. Many doesn't stipulate 'out of'. It stipulates a large number. Give it up. You're an embarrassment. The more you write, the more people will question whether you actually even attempted to get educated. Try and reference a dictionary before embarrassing yourself further.
