racing cliches we love/hate

Certain new cliches just drive me nuts of late -- I hate the stupid use of "grand final" in interviews with racing people. For example "is this your grand final?' -- what the bloody hell is that. Grand finals are in football not horseracing---what next? how did the ''preseason'' go with your horse?

the other new one that sends me nuts is "this horse ticks all the boxes''...

    Your right with those ones. Tick's all the boxes....They only do that when they win..

    My fav is Trevor Andrews post race....

    Not a cliche but credit to Darren Mac post race last Saturday:

    "Roman Knows has won by a roman nose" (it won by half length)

    And here's another No.. No.. Yes expert.

    "like"


    If I hear a teenage girl use it more than 15 times per minute I think it is justifiable homicide

    For the past 15 years the most overused word has been 'Absolutely' :evil:

    Has it always annoyed me? INDUBITABLY

    :lol:

    Even more annoying for me is the misuse of 'literally'. And now it has graced PTT. From the home page:

    Joe Azzopardi : Literally a track burner after his dashing ride on Abmberlyn at Geraldton on Sunday. A kid who has a future.

    Not literally. He doesn't actually set fire to race tracks.
