Great Idea DJ –
Keep the nominations coming and I’ll then open a voting thread for each category next Sunday.
My nominees –
Horse – I’d have to go with George Washington. Enigmatic, moody, maybe just a little bit bonkers but brilliant with it and a Racing Forum’s dream.
Trainer – Pam Sly for me too. To win a classic in this day and age from a small yard like hers takes some doing. Honourable mention to Martin Pipe who rewrote the record books during a fantastic career.
Jockey – Russell Baze for me. Oustanding achievement.
Poster of the year – Ah, here’s one close to the heart, after six months spent scrutinising most posts for lewd and libidinous behaviour I feel I know each poster intimately (yuk). My vote would be for Grasshopper (sorry GH) whose knowledge, humour, level of participation (chat-room regular and poster in many sections of the forum) and sense of diplomacy make him a worthy candidate.
