Horse Puns

[Nathan Hughes]

Seems a trend with Paddington and today Chesspiece had the honour of “Chesspiece makes the first move”..
I’m not overly keen on them on the television but thought a thread could throw up some more

Charles Darwin to conquer the World

Stewart Machin(who I’m a big fan of) loves to give us a pun just as the winner reaches the post.

I can’t think of any examples though

There was a horse called Egg about twenty years ago. He caused all manner of puns. Egg has poached a lead, Egg scrambled home etc.

Richard Hoiles many years ago commentating on a Uttoxeter chase.

“Young Baldric is tailed off and has no chance unless his rider has a cunning plan.”

And I think it was Simon Holt that gave us “Hamper wins, but it was no picnic.”

[Miss Woodford]

Tom Durkin’s famous call of the 1994 Travers “but there is cause for Concern” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NCOYIdjpvA

[Ghost of Rob V]

Many years ago, Graham Goode commentating on a NH race … ‘Socks Downe has pulled up’.

Quite an amusing race between two wives and am sure a lot may have seen it.

[Refuse To Bend]

The more I know the less I understand.

There was a race at Newmarket yesterday in which the favourite was named Say Hello and was leading approaching the furlong pole. When Flaccianello overtook him, Stewart Machin said he “waves goodbye to Say Hello”.

He must be a Soft Cell fan.

😂🤣👍The two wives race … Hilarious I’ve never seen it.🤣😂😅

Cork…I waved goodbye to Say Hello yesterday as I backed her.

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

The commentator did well to avoid obvious puns but the bit at the finish when he says the wife knows everything,of course she does was just priceless. Made me chuckle.🤣🤣

“I swear it’s Oath” – a gleeful Graham Goode calling the winner of the 1999 Derby

[Nathan Hughes]

5.20 Uttoxeter

Milling around at the start “Stiletto a little bit on her toes”

Charles Darwin to conquer the World

[Nathan Hughes]

Sumo Sam you would not want to wrestle with her

Charles Darwin to conquer the World

[Triptych]

Not sure who was commentating at Doncaster this afternoon but the 2.25 race ….

“Room Service ..
delivered to the door”

😅🤣
Loved it

[Gladiateur]

I thought both yesterday’s puns were cringeworthy.

I’m with Gladders on this tbh.

I’m glad Jac enjoyed that, but tbh if I’d heard it I’d have wanted to throw a brick at the telly.

Just do your job and call the race – if you actually can!
