Don’t yield…

I was having a fair afternoon concentrating on Lingfield. I looked at the 3.45 at Kempton. Don’t get involved, I said to myself. They are not worth the effort. Something always goes wrong, and it’s always the ‘other’ Nicholls’ horse that wins it*. These rules are stone set. In the end I did. Tap Night and a little bit on one of the Venetia’s.

The great racing experience was enhanced by The Extraordinary Cattermole on description duties. I never heard mention of nor saw my horse at all. I actually wondered if it refused. The replay informed me it was an early faller. When Fox Appeal went over Cattermole was himself foxed.

Back to the sand!

*This is one of the universe’s rules for me. Similar to back Ryan Moore and lose/Don’t back he wins.

So if you said to yourself before the race "The other Nicholls’ horse wins it" why didn’t you back this "other" horse

Royal Acquisition pulled out at the last mo. I knew I’d get my stake back. But not the forecasts and tricasts he was in. Didn’t even bother looking at the rules, cos i knew it. If you want catchpenny chicanerous* small print, get involved with racing.

*good word, eh?

Because it is always the ‘other one’. Think about it.

Back both and the Henderson/Pipe horse wins. Don’t get me started on the ‘other’ Henderson horse…
