    I’m in Nathan.. :good:
    However, you forgot to mention that Blackbeard will make regular appearances for fan club Members carrying out requests for their favourite pre starting stall race manouvre and will end by hoofprinting their loyalty cards giving them a chance to be in the first row when he appears on ‘Strictly Come Prancing’. :rose: Jac

    OH Yes, Platinum membership
    I’m still working on the price cap for this
    also includes a straight after Blackbeard race a phone call with Aidan O’Brien, only for one

    I’m only interested, if I can meet the Lads. Meeting the Lads should be included in the Upper Platinum Jubilee membership and it should cost a lot more than just 200 quid a year. It should include a Ralph Lauren shirt or sweater and a pair of A P O’Brien pre-owned glasses.

    Name your price, Nathan and thanks for organising this.

    “a phone call with Aidan O’Brien”

    I think I’ll give that one a miss. Heard it all before: “Listen, he’s always shown a lot of speed; we’ll see what the lads want to do next.”

    Pass.

    I’m only interested if I can NOT meet “the Lads” (retch).

    I’m with Gladders on skipping the phone call from O’Brien too.

    I’ve a peculiar aversion to hearing the same old flannel day in, day out, year in, year out.

    I’ll go for the free sleeping membership package, cheers.

    I do like Blackbeard, though – it’s not his fault who owns and trains him.

    “I’ll go for the free sleeping membership package, cheers.”

    That package is absolutely free at a cost of 1,000,000 rewards4racing points.

    Very fair, sir, but I was planning to use those million points to fund my next thousand trips to Epsom Downs on future £10 special offer days so I’ll have to opt out.

    Never one to miss an opportunity is our Nathan, but sounds a bit
    dodgy to me :whistle:

    As a much smarter man than me once said, “The secret of life is
    honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you’ve got it made” :good:

    There is only one thing that is bigger than the Blackbeard fan club on TRF and that is the Gamble fan club

    I know you are a fan BigG
    Ex Ruby Light is in charge of memorabilia so Pm him to order the latest t shirt, signed photo, used pants etc

    It’s that authentic even Gamble has bought stuff

    There is a reason why Gladders and Chezza have pulled the plug on this enterprise

    Little Big Bear is out for the season
    Now,
    I don’t like to spread rumours,
    so I’ll let the Wurzels spell it out

    “Where be it Little Big Bear to?
    I know where he be
    He be up your Ballydoyle tree
    And Blackbeard be after he

    Bugger’d if Blackbeard don’t get him
    With a girt big hook, he’ll cut him down
    Little Big bear, he’ll have thee”

    The song gets a little graphic, so I’ll stop it there
    but it all ends with a Little Big Bear pie…

    This sort of thing is custom at O’Brien’s yard and explains why the kids always end up too big for Flat jockeyship… :rose:

    Much though I love Blackbeard, any battle between a rum-swilling pirate and a BEAR is only going to have one denouement.

    And that’s a right mauling.

    Blackbeard is very good but, like Flyingbolt, he’s got a better one in the box next door.

    The Gamble memorabilia is 100% pre-worn, but not pre-washed.

    But, don’t worry you won’t get anything contagious or that can’t be treated by peniciline injections.

    I see a brother of blackbeards went for 2.6m at the sales. I can see blackbeard being very much in demand as a stallion quirks and all.

    Unfortunately the swashbuckling blackbeard has been retired to stud due to injury
