    Rumour has it the only thing in the yard fast enough to work with him is a Land Rover.

    Yep..Arecibo is working hard building up muscle now pulling the Landrover round and fertilizing my back garden at the same time.
    My money’s down and Arecibo’s all set for his Racing League debut..I can only hope he makes it a good one. :heart:

    Congratulations Tippi on the place there and at a decent price too, but the reality will soon sink in. Like a lot of cliff horses the appetite is often a bit blunted later in their career, and they may tire of the day job. We all know the term Spring horse, but with Cliff it’s often a case of –

    ” Done it and down tools “

    Thanks Gamble :good:
    I thought with Cliff horses it might be more along the lines…

    Indeed and like a perennial plant its rich green leaves hover in the background of the drawing room or study with the persistence of wallpaper just begging for a watering and a day out in the sun 😎

    A devout religious man – lets call him Father Cliff might occasionally accompany Father Chezza to the confessional box to give assistance with the hard cases and the hard of hearing. He would advise a cautionary stemming of too much showing of emotion, and would often give a supplementary penance to Father Chezza’s, being one of temperance and sobriety as you let your excitement run away with you, whilst washing your Arecibo sins to two aghast men of the cloth.

    “Money may well talk” Chezza, but it doesn’t sing and dance nor walk. :heart:

    Sorry just the phrase sets me off.

    Here is the reference for that opening lines

    I confess Orazio is my new cliff horse. I just know I am going to back him again.

    I already have the excuses worked out to convince me he is a certainty next time:

    Wokingham – ground too fast and race developed away from him.

    Stewards Cup – race run on borderline unraceable ground.

    Ayr Gold Cup – poorly drawn.

    He will obviously hack up on the bridle when conditions are right.

    “I confess Orazio is my new cliff horse. I just know I am going to back him again”

    All this week, Significantly was my definite choice for the Ayr Gold Cup. Cometh the day, I changed my bloody mind and picked Orazio instead 😠
    Orazio ain’t gonna be my cliff horse but I know that if I don’t pick him next time, he’ll come back to haunt me.

    My cliff horse is enjoying himself..
    ARECIBO
    14th yesterday.. :cry: at his 27th attempt to win a race.

    I vow to reduce my stake next time he runs which should guarantee he scoots home by at least 3 lengths.. :wacko: Jac

    The cliff horses are getting classier by the day ….. None can obviously win in a walkover , anyone want to nominate a NH horse to bankrupt them by Cheltenham , I’m hoping Might I will be going over fences ….. I’m already preparing to lose funds , face , believe …..etc
