    Great stuff Drone,
    Your knowledge of the old stuff is great so much in fact you can rewrite rock. There nothing new under the sun. What is new has always been here and just waits to be rediscovered.

    An early sortie with my green wheelie bin to my first call at 7:30 to the squadron leader’s postage stamp garden to take away some of his clay top soil. The SL always comes out no matter how early I pass by and today was no exception, “ nice to see you Sam couldn’t you sleep 😴 . “No not till your patch is tidy and things are growing.” The bin now weighed a tonne and I doubted if the refuse people would take it but elf 🧝‍♂️ and safety hasn’t entirely taken over in Suffolk and these refuse collectors are made of sterner stuff.
    A delightful lady was just leaving an elderly neighbour’s house as I arrived home with my cargo of clay. She is a carer for him and she always greets me with the biggest smile you can imagine. She lights up any day. You know when someone has an aura and this woman has it. But todays smile was stronger and brighter. I greeted her and asked of her broader than usual grub. She held out her left hand and adorning the appropriate finger was a rock of ages!! 💍 an exact replica of the illustration. When I get the picture techs bit I’ll put it up. The person of her heart ♥️ had popped the question and had presented this hefty rock to seal the deal.
    The second bit of great news is I’ve discovered POO 💩 HALLAH . I’ve been looking for a few weeks now for a new source of the black gold which fires my farming industries and a remote farm on land which is currently not earmarked for redevelopment houses quite simply the biggest pile of aging poo 💩 I’ve ever seen. Indeed I’d swear we are back in the common market because never mind butter and flour mountains this is mount POO 🏔. The track I travelled along was tree lined and endless I couldn’t drive down because of the mud do set off on the trek of over three quarters of a mile through a serene glade with deer and rabbits and squirrels Jays magpies rats 🐀 and all manner a wood pile the length of my street a glade and st the end s clearing birds of prey and the biggest stockpile of horse muck in Europe. My wheelbarrow tyre was not up to it and the huge builders bag accompanied by three ferlizer bags was optimistic was reduced to just the builders bag as I had to jettison some three bags of deadweight but man alive !! I’ll be back with s four by four and a trailer asap.

    The music I’m putting forward today is rapper’s delight there is nothing like it and in pure contradiction of what I’ve just said nothing before like it.
    My abiding memory of this amazing masterpiece is four wide eyed smiling laughing brothers all reciting this melody and rap word for word jumping up and down on mum and Dads bed.
    Swearing with dismay whenever the radio DJ would fade it out early (dad’s wireless which I still have and treasure)
    Monday is a day of contrast and delight. Always expect the unexpected I’m trying to get out but can’t. I’ve been out already and bumped into numerous folk. cocaine by Dillinger will have to wait a tad longer.
    On the way out I thanked the owner by way of the only currency I know ( along with graceful gratitude) GUINNESS.
    My immense joy was tempered minutes later when I met an old friend. He’d been hit by aggressive cancer and was on way to the hospital for treatment. My heart is with him and his wife and son. They have been through a ton before of strife but I’ve always known them to be happy and strong and I hope that may can carry them through this latest trial.

    “I reprinted my comments from my posts on threads around the forum regarding their chances and because the results didn’t suit your argument you decided to resort to sarcasm saying you thought horses won because they were favourite ignoring the big priced third and second horses I selected. Remember I put these selections up BEFORE THEY RACE and point out that they may benefit from the draw from physics. I’m satisfied I’ve made a breakthrough combining form and physics the results appear to back that up. Without new discoveries there is no science gingertipster”.

    ———————–

    I did not mention your other bets because I knew nothing about them, Sam. They were not on this thread. I am saying there were good reasons to back Auguste Rodin and Idiomatic The reason you gave of those originally drawn by their side being non-runners and therefore giving him “free energy” is not a good reason.
    Similarly, am sure there were good reasons to back the horses you backed earlier in the card (even the ones at fairly big prices you had placed). Just not the “free energy” reason or Tesla’s principle of the Universe being run by the numbers 3, 6 and (particularly) 9.

    Sorry. Had you not said on page 1 of this thread (the first post since reopening the thread) “One thing Im happily open to is ridicule”. Then I would not have done so in what I thought a jovial manner. Have edited what I originally said, because you’re clearly not open to ridicule as much as you thought. But have left the gist, as we do have a big difference of opinion on 3, 6, 9 etc. Theracingforum is about debate after all, especially when choosing to put a betting thread in the Horse Racing section instead of DLAPs or TRANs.

    As you said (quoted from Tesla) in that same post “If you only realise the magnificence of the 369 you will have the key to the universe“. I might think it’s nonsense, just put it down to me reading and not realising.

    Anyone who’s a gardener and quotes Half Man Half Biscuit must be a good bloke.

    Please do “carry on”. I read it is important to be positive with 3, 6, 9, Sam; and to write things down you want to come true (was it 6 times at this time of day?). So I’ll end by wishing you good luck, good luck, good luck, good luck, good luck, good luck. :rose:

    Although he hasn’t had a winner recently James Tate’s horses are running well putting up the performances expected of them however I’m putting forward MOUNT ATHOS for your consideration to get the trainer and horse back into the winners enclosure.Unraced as a juvenile the selection came to my notice on his handicap debut when sweeping aside his rivals in a class 4 contest over today’s course & distance with Doyle doing the steering.Wasn’t seen again until the following year when again under Doyle he made all to win here at the same trip but this time in a class 2 race both times putting up quite good sectionals for the final 3f furlongs.Back at the same track/trip this afternoon with Doyle in the saddle expecting him to see him win.When last seen at the start of Sept he returned good numbers which add to his case before being gelded.
    good luck to all

    I think Gingertipster is a nice bloke but if you read his replies though he is in a battle with his thoughts it seems to me. I said to him “ you could start an argument with yourself in a phone box, and still lose it!”. He said I was picking out favourites and attributing their performances to free energy. In essence that was partially true, but I don’t price up the horses. I then pointed out my choices included good night olive 🫒 and the 25/1 second followed by a another big priced second and double figure third proxy and the Japanese runner. He dashed for cover never to mention that again. Resurfacing yesterday after I’d put up India who was well beat in a group race in Germany yesterday.
    He has posted two videos about Tesla.
    So if nothing else it has provoked some debate.
    Drone has been the most open minded forumite and like with you and triptych I’ve conversed with him on pm. Very very rare that I pm anyone.
    Well Big G I hope we will get one last bite at BIG GOSSEY and like you I’m gutted to have missed him yet again. I’m going to read up and see the report on http://www.Irishracing.com to see if he is running in the yards future plans.
    My gardening “exploits” have led to a big push towards raising a few bob for my local hospice. I’m up to 31 bags now and I’m visiting a stable a couple of miles down the road in search of the “ black stuff” well rotted poo. The best part is a floral release I’ve received I’ve started visiting friends gardens and cutting blooms putting them in a cold bucket and giving them to the hospice shop to make up bouquets which they sell at very low prices. The arrangements have to be seen to be believed far better than what you’d actually get in a florist’s or a supermarket and all locally sourced with “no carbon footprint “. About twenty five bouquets made now and one was so good I described it as “ the floral fighting temaraire”. Hydrangea heads the size of footballs. All for under six pounds.
    I spent all day on the tree 🌲 job yesterday laying s new bed at the top of the L shaped bed. I got my old allotment lawn mower out and mowed the lawn next door just to get organic matter to throw on top of a no dig bed. First layer weeds, pressed down followed by cardboard soaked followed by fresher than usual poo 💩 full of straw. Next layer beech leaves and husks,full of soil, worms and casts and soaked in water in a wheelie bin for four days. next layer dry leaves out of a full builders bag next layer more leaves out of a builders bag. Next layer green freshly cut grass then more leaves topped over with some coffee grounds and hosed down. I’ve left it to the elements and in a few days I’ll find some leaf mould two year old stuff to cover the entire pile and then cover it over for a good month with a tarp. I’ve got some wooden boards retrieved from that job from which I won’t go back to…. I’ve also planted some wall flowers retrieved from a kerbside of weeds on the seafront which the council will clear or spray any day and planted some tulip bulbs. The soil at the front on the roadside is held in raised bed style a retaining wall so the bed is at waist high level and reachable by the osssing patch this bed the backwards letter l part of the bed is full of five year old organic material and Alive with worms I’ve dug it out a few times to use the soil on my allotments it’s alive with worms and as healthy as you can get. One thing missing here Molly Roberts. But I’m happy that the little yapper is peacefully curled up somewhere dog napping on some allotment dreaming of chasing rats into badger sets.

    First and most important, I do make efforts to try and make the scores error free, but if you think I made one then let me know and I will check it out and correct it, ASAP :good:

    Second things are hotting up for pole position Steve has regained the lead, but Landafar is gaining ground on the leading pair. However if next week’s a shock price and gets picked then nobody’s out.

    Third in new year I’ll be doing my annual TRF vs Pricewise Cheltenham competition.

    You've got to accentuate the positive.
    Eliminate the negative.
    Latch on to the affirmative.
    Don't mess with mister in between.

    Never drank alcohol when betting.
    Going Racing I took either orange juice or water.
    I remember Goodwood (or was it Newbury? Or both?) didn’t let you take your own grub into the racecourse.
    Always took home made sandwiches for lunch and ate them in the car park.
    However, occasionally I didn’t have time.
    So I smuggled them in using my binocular case, with a small bottle in my pocket.
    Was found out once. When there was royalty coming they inspected all bags and binns cases.
    He didn’t seem to know the rules and (with a raised eyebrow) waved me through.
    A real stick in the mud, me.

    No need to pay for anything at the races.

    Salah has just missed a sitter followed in the same passage of play by his partner Nunez also missing a sitter. A shot on target by the African is all that stands between me and a profitable day. With Becker having made his mandatory three saves.
    Can’t count your chickens 🐓 just yet but Mo sniffing the scent of a chance but has been not on the case today and being not his usual selfish self, which strikers desperately need to be. Alan Shearer being the greatest exponent of that genre of footballer.

    Thank you so much.
    I really did get lucky on Day two with my favourite filly Inspiral coming from behind to win and then Master Of The Seas and Mawj bringing the forecast home. :yahoo:
    Really commisserate with you Neil I honestly thought you had it on Day 1 with that score and Steve congrats for coming 2nd. :good: I guess I’ve done what we could now call a ‘Raymo’.😃🤣🎂🍪🍨 but it really was the pressure of having to get those choices on early that made me concentrate more on the form..I got lucky. :yes: but I couldn’t be more happy.

    Many thanks to Graham for running this so brilliantly despite ruining his dinner Saturday night hope you enjoyed your late night takeaway and to Cormack for putting up a superb prize…It has to be INSPIRAL please after her heart stopping win last night. Just love her.❤️
    Not the most photogenic but she has certainly inherited Frankel’s talent and I kept thinking of how much Henry Cecil would have enjoyed seeing that performance last night. :heart:

    Many thanks for a great competition Graham and to all the players .. it was tough out there..well done. :rose: Jac

    Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...

    The good hoped for on Saturday came a day later yesterday with some decent winners and the knowledgeable ones challenging the results as not dependent on draw and free energy rather depending on them being favourites but choose to ignore 25/1 second and 16/1 third in same race.
    Worth a read on the main forum. If want a definition of a Luddite or flat earth 🌍 theorist take a read. Apparently there is no new science and only existing estsblished science is acceptable.

    One for any early  birds 🦅 

    I’m off to the allotment  first light, massive order of Jerusalem artichokes from friends including the head chef of a big restaurant in town ( all free).

    They would benefit starch and flavour wise from a hard frost but they are ready in any case. First year planted them in April had some last Sunday made a sauce from the largest one and poured it over Sunday roast ( still farting regularly from it!!) then early start at work designing a no dig bed and planting tulips (weather regardless)

    SHA TIN 0500

    Diamonds forever

    each way 

    yet to win but been impressive third or second three of last four runs now targeted specifically at this race and the top weight under Andrea Atzeni hugely underrated as a relative newcomer but he’s ridden out here before one of our top jockeys and already regularly amongst the winners but a huge price here.

    FORTUNE MASTER

    APEX TOP

    BOTH WIN

    Both well below previous winning marks and one of them came in October last year and another one in April. Dangerous to dismiss. Good jockey bookings all three runners here.

    Sam,
    You’re the one who started talking about “Traverse Law” and “Free Energy”
    Saying:
    “it’s impossible to say which horse receives positive or negative energy both have to be considered”…
    And also claim
    “I know (believe) these hidden reserves to be the free energy that is factored into every race and generated by every horse. Like all belief systems known to man, if you believe in them strongly enough, you find to a way to make them work…… ….”.
    And
    Even claiming it’s unconventional “science”.
    And
    “it’s off the map”.

    Yet haven’t explained any of it.
    Fair enough if you don’t want to.

    Science can be many things, but I can tell you what science is not, Sam… And that’s the unexplained.
    Gingertipster I love you mate.
    You could get into an argument with yourself in a bloody phone box.
    (and still lose!!)

    I don’t claim to understand it because I don’t. But what I do know that something happens. I’ve identified that something happens and rather than write about it after it has happened and claim that something happened, I’m saying before the event that this ‘may well happen’and the last two races it has. In fact all my selections ‘made tonight’ have featured a winner or a placed horse in each race and ALL have been ALEXANDER selections.

    Made his owners and Richard Fahey a pretty penny when he was sold abroad. His new handlers wasted no time acclimatising him. And whilst a horse named after a northern Rugby football team will have made but a few ripples crossing the Atlantic, His touchdowns have been spectacular. Winning and then winning with some ease latest booking his place here and the ripples have become a wave.
    May not cope with the next step up here but will still hold his own.
    Has local knowledge now and a speculative each way will hurt no-one.

    60 pts Graham?? Shouldn’t it be 66pts? and 5 pts for Candied earlier too ?

    Yes you’re right Mrs Raymo, the 60 I made the mistake of marking him with the
    winner and 3rd rather than the winner and 2nd. There’s 28 people in this competition
    and I’m going about 100 miles an hour to try and mark up and make comments at the same
    time during the rounds. I’d be amazed if the odd mistake wasn’t made. I always go over
    he whole thing at the end, it would not have been missed.

    The 5 points for Candied too ? I don’t get your point, I had Raymo marked down for
    the 5 points on my score sheet, I was simply stating that he had a great 3rd round.
    Why would I mention the 5 points he got in the 2nd round?

    I think I’ll just keep schtum tonight during the competition and post the scores
    at the end.

    Two smaller bets yesterday, with Non Runner Pepperoco the main fancy. No returns from Frankie, but I seen enough to persevere, and made a small profit on Mitiva in running. Mitiva was a small enough bet that I wouldn’t usually try to get my stakes back, but as I was only betting yesterday for Pepperoco, it made sense to take the profit anyway.

    I’ve zero interest in The Breeders Cup, but I did tune in to watch Big Evs, who’s a real fav after that bet in June, and delighted to see him romp home. He’s turned out miles better than I expected. Not a penny on tonight sadly

    Fairly quiet Saturday with Wetherby expected to go. Considering Schalke, if Wetherby is lost, or maybe Rare Middleton, but right now, this lot’ll do

    1415 Ayr – Donna’s Double 20’s EW
    1530 Wetherby – Haafapiece 10’s
    Sodexo – Beauport 5’s
    1604 Ayr – Danno’s Dollar 12’s

    Calling it amateur hour would be kind with regards to the scratchings of the European runners – they showed (I believe it was Jessie’s horse) being trotted up and down and I kid you not it was done on a sand based floor which then had a bunch of rubber mats placed on top of it with visable gaps between each mat and then the horse was asked to trot back and forth……..WTF.

    Based on that the vets (a different bunch than those that had been with the horses in quarantine for the past 48 hrs and hadn’t reported any issue) told them that the horse had been scratched but couldn’t actually give an explanation as to what made them come to that decision.

    The gaps in the placement of the mats meant that the horse could not move freely (like it could on an even surface, which my understanding is what you have to have when looking for potential issues when trotting a horse) and even the groom leading the horse was having to look down to see where they were stepping. Supposed to be a World Championship of Racing (don’t get me started on that particular issue) and yet we have this level of incompetence in not being able to administer a simple trotting exercise to determine soundness…..another reason why US racing by and large leaves me cold.

    Jessie/Aidan were interviewed and were class in their response but must have been biting their tongues as to what they really wanted to say on the matter…….yes there is a ‘when in Rome’ aspect of racing in other juridictions but you expect a certain level of professional competence and this fell so far short of that…..well its almost laughable.

    Israel’s total non compliance of the “accepted boundries” of war will
    leave them a with the problem of anti-semitism after the war from
    those who have been seeking what they will cite as a justifiable
    reason to inflict mayhem on the jewish community. Nothing justifies
    this or the atrocities carried out by Hamas at the start of this war.
    Today Isreal bombed outside the largest Hospital in Gazza and the
    Red Crescent say they have ambulances destroyed there and others
    which were on their way back from Rafah in the south.

    Israel say it is necessary to eliminate Hamas. So it seems that a
    new rule has been made by Israel, it is acceptable to kill thousands
    of innocent civilians and children in their aim to destroy Hamas.

    I’m not defending Hamas, what they did was evil beyond words, but the
    response from Israel will never be forgotten. This is nowhere near over
    and perhaps Hamas’s idea all along was to escalate things to such a point
    that it would bring others into a war against Israel.

    There is a sizable build up of Hezbollah at the Lebanon/Israel border.
    Iran haven’t themselves shown their hand but they back both Hamas and
    Hezbollah. This has been horrifyingly tragic, but I honestly fear that
    the worst is yet to come.
