Graham Dench in the RP is reporting that Temple Place was gambled very early this morning from 50’s into 5-1 for the 4pm at Plumpton this afternoon. After the money was down the horse was then pulled out at 10.50am with a Vets Cert.
Cav, Flat cap gamble has been lame for ages , wonder if this new look forum will see him again ??
Ricky
There’s been some inspired money this morning, from 50s in to 5s, for Flatcap Gamble to make an appearance at the next TRF meet up.
Will a vet’s certificate be produced again or will we all get to meet him, ice cold krone in hand?
Reportedly Flat cap has now shred his numpty status , and now is the proud owner of a Kempton Park AW members metal badge , surely fireworks will follow
If you see him for goodness sakes go gentle …
Ricky
Fireworks are kryptonite to Kempton rat races as tonight and Saturday’s blank evenings testify.
We have Guy Fawkes to thank for the respite.
Maybe Ricky has the inside track on the latest gunpowder plotter. One interpretation of his post is that Gamble has gone to ground to plan what we have all dreamed of for so long..

There were certainly bombs tonight
a great halestorm of words
and I was caught up in them
and blastingly declared
the wet loser
for repeatedly touching
on subjects that
bore.As for meeting up with the Truffle massive
I dont believe I have a mask that is quite
large enough
but then again I haven’t looked
in that particular cupboard
for a long time.
I do regret a lot of things
including my limited usage
of physical clones.It was probably 2003/4
There was a meet up at Kempton
quite a few were there
I dont think Daylight.Snook wrote something like this.
I was leaning on the rail
when I spotted all of you.
It was a mentally gymnastic thrill
to work out
who was who
and who wasn’t who
in that consummate relaxed ease
of a hopper in a haystack
with my secret presence
hidden behind a shadow
behind a stalk
and me there
mixed in with horse breaths
pulsating like a monk that spied on
a group of saints gambling on
whether the old could sin
and amen
not a single truffle head
had a spit of an inkling of
where I was or
who I was,
or that my eye was out
as I lingered there
just that minute too long
to make contact
too remote.Erm snook
who some may remember
and despite the masculinity
of the name snook
well was female AND
had all the qualities
that make up
true clone.
Blame it on the kroneColin
I
was up three
ours
before
you
rather regretting my post
and my three am ungodly shuffle
along a narrow corridor
but good morning to you.I am back in lame form
as rampant suggests
and offer slight apolgies to snook
for pumping up her words.
I have never met or written
to her or her sister,
also an old member,
and yup yup
when snook spied she acted alone
and was never on my short clone list.I have taken a rare break from the game
since I returned from Italy
oh seven weeks back
purely to refresh my mind
and concentrate more on the
bigger questions.I have been working once more
on the secret of life
placed and crouched
in a small kitchen in Ravenna
which I shared with a yellow bird
and an aluminium coffee pot.
Both providing me with much inspiration
but I have to give it to the bird.The dark narrow streets of Italy
were also a soft
and sometimes clicking stimulation.
I like the place
it suits me.I suppose I have to address
horsey issues
which I will do
bang on
but gently
and in my own time I will surface from
that can
that Ricky and Glenn
naughtily opened.Seconded – welcome back, Friendsheep.

Good to have you back Flatcap.
Time is short. Jonnie G has already issued his Scarboro Warning. It would be great if some of Sleepy Hollow’s rare birds could join us, but Dennis the Menace reckons they are already extinct.
I don’t think cans and bottles are gonna do it this time. Only ice cold taps will suffice.
Colin thanks for your welcome,
I was in Italy twice this year,
going also to Malta for a tan and
a gun unwind. I mean tum unwind.
I took no pen and paper.
Interestingly there’s something weird
about the lack of animals there.
In the north of the island
I didn’t spot any and asked
a local where they were
using hands and feet
and was told to head south.
I travelled to the south and
again saw no furries and was told
to return to the north to spot them.
Someone who had mastered the
language heard in a bar that
many are kept underground.
I certainly wasn’t there for an enquiry,
and got totally fed up tipping clergy
to try to find the whole truth
ending up at a trotting racetrack,
– that’s a story in itself.A month or so Later
forgetting animals
and walking ENGROSSED
through dark cobbled streets
that winded themselves
through the laced boot of Italy
neck down for
that elusive secret of life
possibly in the patterns
or a signorina’s ankle
or a butt,
little litter there but butts
when a confidant advised me I looked
like a turtle without its shell
and my mind shot back
to Maltese tied up beef
and electric light sheep.Grays, hi there, whoaaa,
that avatar is also a
missing mystery. I could look
in the Nutwood point to point.
In some ways I still hanker
after the original ikon board
with its impressively big hairy letters.
You wont remember that Grays
your too much of a modern man
albeit it with an old head
and a pony that may have dissapeared
to accommodate your rise in radio.Hope all goes well in your world.
Glenn,
as we are joined
at the sixteen runner hip
I will have to pm you my new
leg measurements.
But why ?
Well to prevent us limping out of the stalls
or stalling onto the sleepy hollow limps.
There’s one solution to
reducing the over populated racing fayre
tie some of the meets together
and give half of the horses
an early gold watch.
Having read the time feed thread
the prevision boys without pictures
sometimes referred to the armchair men
are two seconds
ahead of the racetrack box men
who hate a photo,
mind you it wont concern you
as you dont own a watch
and your guts n’ gaiters are
rumoured to be full of expensive superior form.Although considered lame
I write in a gallop
and give a lack of
pre-thought to content
and whilst the meaning
is bell clarity to me
it can look obscureThis is something
I am trying to changeI feel strangely out of place
in this forum as I am currently
out of the markets
a decision forced on me
by other duties and responsibilities.
My life is different and harder
I admit to missing the daily adrenelin
of the markets and the blood pressure.
I will hope to return early next year.
No I am not working.What I don’t miss are the grinding days
those hard careful days
those slow days
where you know you can’t win
in making up for ten minutes of previous madness.
I blighted myself three times
in the ealry part of the last twelve months
and three times crawled up a cliff face.
Discipline cures this but there is
tedium attached and then
the possibility of another break out.
97 percent of people on blue and purple
are secret grindersI have three krone in front of me
but I am strangely out of words
in wanting to discuss a few old chestnuts
Nothing much moves here after
1am. Well it’s almost twoI hope all is well
An old chestnut before I get
my head downIn the old gambling fox thread
I wrote that Cormack was unforgiving.
This was stated without context
was grey
and needed some explanation.Cormack was unforgiving of Ian Davies
this was what I was referring to.
The two had no understanding
however Davies was prepared to talk
but whether that talk would have got
anywhere or walked the walk is anyone’s guess.
I cannot criticise Cormack for his
stance on Davies or his distance,
because everyone has the right to see
people differently.I personally liked Davies
and much more so after he lost his lawyer
and threw caution to the wind.
I can understand why some people
disagreed with him
but dont fully understand the dislikeAs for Cormack
I have always got on with him.
There is a certain tinge of obstinacy
which I find reassuring in any administrator
but be assured ( an old MFI phrase )
my armour gathers a lot of dust
before a failed deliveryMy three krones have been demolished
the night weather is depressing
and I am getting my head downIt is very late but I
have been approached by
google bot and yahoo
to start a missing persons bureauGamble, how very brave of you to put in a supportive word for he who shall never be mentioned on this forum.
Courage that I have failed to exhibit in the past.
Colin
ps. …have you searched under the cushions for your emergency supply of krone?
