    All,

    Free with the prurchase of the Daily Mail today, when purchased from a WH Smiths, is a DVD of Murphy`s Stroke. For those of you unaware, it is film based on the infamous Gay Future affair. The original Video is difficult to obtain, and there is one currently for sale on Amazon for approx. £45.

    Just though i`d let anyone know who would be interested in obtaining a copy for free.

    As an aside, has anyone got a copy of "something to brighten the morning". If so, would they be prepared to let me have a copy, video or DVD, and I would make an agreed contribution for their time and effort.

    Cheers,

    dave

    If this is the story of Mill Reef ( "something to brighten the morning" ) , I have an original. Copying might be a tad illegal !!! However, if all else fails – PM me.

    ps.

    I’ve got a 3 year old filly by Mill Reef – down the Spartan General pedigree.

    Backing two runners is the relentless pursuit of value. Backing each way is a shortcut to the poor house. Only 7% make a long term profit.

    While it’s quite possible that I’d be entertained by a film based on the Gay Future affair, I simply could not bring myself — under ANY circumstance — to buy a copy of the Daily Mail.

    I was waiting for the first complaint, and obviously not dissapointed.

    Well there’s an opinion about the Daily Mail, but I can’t see that anybody has set out to offend you.

    As it happens I’ve got a copy of Murphy’s Stroke, my wife have given it me as a birthday present a few years back. By the normal standards of sporting films it’s actually not bad and tells the story quite well.

    elcartero, have you read the Daily Mail?

    Only Formcast (Nigel Taylor)….however, I must admit that my wife insists on reading the rest of it to me so I know exactly what you mean. She’ll have to go!
    I do miss the ‘Weekend Racing Blue’ and the ‘Handicap Book’ when it was little!
