Having just joined TRF, I’ve had a quick scan for an ‘Introductions’ thread but I can’t see one. Apologies if this is a duplication, but I thought it might be an idea to say a proper ‘hello’ and maybe encourage some other posters to introduce themselves for the benefit of newbies and lurkers.
Anyway, I’m Cruella. I’m a 30-something woman from NE England who has been a (mainly non-betting) racing fan for as long as I can remember. As time goes by I am definitely starting to prefer NH (a long-standing crush on Ruby Walsh has nothing to do with that, obviously…
) but I can still just about muster enthusiasm for decent Group Flat races.Among many, many equine heroes I include Spartan Missile (I must have been the only person in Britain who didn’t want Aldaniti to win), Run and Skip, Viking Flagship and Relkeel; and on the Flat Soba, Oh So Sharp, Indian Skimmer, Giant’s Causeway and Soviet Song – the latter as I’ve been a member of Elite since 2002.
Be gentle with me…
Well hello there….
I like horse racing and smilies…
but am trying to behave and keep them only in the loungeroom 
…….. sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t…..
There are a few on here that know me but I like to keep a low profile …………………….. being an MI5 officer
…and you were doing so well until the latter half of the penultimate sentence!!
Well, we can’t all be McManus or Magnier!
Amused that you consider being a member of ERC more shameful than admitting to a crush on a jockey young enough to be my…toyboy, actually…
A long standing crush on Ruby is nothing to be ashamed on. I nearly died when I was introduced to him and was chatting to him in Perth a few months ago…I behaved like a small child (although the amount of alcohol I had consumed maybe played a factor in that!).
Anyway, welcome to the forum and don;t be afraid to get involved in the debates.
xxAs the subject title suggests, am new to the forum, although have been lurking for a while
Eventually thought you were a decent enough bunch and though I’d take the plunge – seriously though, this seems like a great forum so am very pleased to be on board.
Am lucky enough to live in Cheltenham so am able to stroll to the Festival and generally stagger back
– indeed this year was probably my best one yet with local boy ‘Choccy’ Thornton on Katchit, Kauto Star and Witchita Lineman ensuring I had a great week!Oh well, I’ll stop waffling now, please pop by and introduce yourself.
Thanks
James
