Following on from a stupid conversation held during last night’s TRF Poker game I’d like to ask –
<b>Which horse best mirrors your character?</b>
I came up with Bird’s Nest – Game and genuine but usually found one or two too good. (Wouldn’t fancy being ridden by Andy Turnell though)
High Cotton – do my best but rapidly approaching old age without having achieved anything of note…..
Any stud horse – getting to serve a different mare every time – what a life
Oops – I misread it
I took the answer from the thread name – What horse would you like to be?
Which one reflect me – Just So – plods on for ever
Double "l", double "t", pur-leaze!
(NB If I hadn’t have got you for that then Quixall Crossett would have, we being the losingmost legend’s two biggest apologists on here…
)I’d have gone for Just So as well, Paul. Are we related?

Wish I had have been Gee A.
Ridden by Gee Armytage very two or three weeks? I don’t even think I would have minded had she felt it necessary to resort to the whip haha
Flying clarets! When seen her at York this year she had lots of glitter in her tail and diamond like studs on her headband – loved it!! Very pretty!! So i’d want to be her
Happy Jack will have to bail us out here, cos I’ve forgotten, but to this day (or at least up until last year, failing that) there is one horse in the point-to-point field that runs with a big red bow in its tail.
Ooh, that reminds me of a line I once used when I did post-race analysis for a very dead daily newspaper. One horse was trying cheekpieces and a tonguestrap having previously tried blinkers, visors, hoods, eyeshields, eyepieces, the lot. As with the previous, these didn’t elicit any sort of improvement.
My summary was that there was no headgear left for connections to try now this side of a fake nose, funny glasses and deely-boppers.
With quality journalism like that, no wonder we folded.

Love it! Do you still write reports? (pardon my ignorance if you work for the racing post and are someone really big in the industry!

I always thought Bird’s Nest was more like an aeroplane with dodgy controls or alternatively a loveable bounder; fast, slightly flash but with a heart of gold ~ either way he’s the type of horse many racing fans would love to be.
I’d be Monksfield ~ cheap as chips, legs not the prettiest but I like to stick my neck out and I’m still an entire
Love it! Do you still write reports?
Aye, plenty – but I’m joyless, crap and tedious nowadays.
