    Personally I prefer the big field

    I have been looking for the big field most of
    my life but have never found it :(

    I pulled over once
    just before I was about to
    join an autostrada.
    I thought I had spotted the big field.
    I got out and found myself on tarmac
    – no field in sight.
    I screamed out to relieve the stress.

    I let my fox lay in today
    there was no all weather.
    I had a favourable day
    and this evening I may
    pop out to look for the big field

    ‘Tis good to see the urban myth that he is,
    back to a rock and a hard place.
    His visual sound waves have been conspicuous by their rationing of late.
    Welcome to the home of the brave, Gamble.

    Ken

    If this is the land of the brave
    I had better declare myself a chicken. :(
    I have never been to war
    and with my spiralling luck
    if I ever did go
    I’d probably shoot myself
    with a riccochet
    and end up in the big field

    As for the poor saturday punter
    I feel sorry for the scoopers
    standing on a lonely beach with their
    64 pound of diseased fish.

    I might have joined in today
    but only had 40 minutes to win a million
    so passed it by.
    Surprisingly I was very pleased
    when Eradicate won.

    I feel deeply for joe punter
    specially if he weakens and
    takes on the misery bet.
    Getting five right might
    just ruin his darts arm
    and just remember
    it’s not something you can
    tell anyone. If you do
    They’ll just think your plain daft.

    Nevison put the kettle
    on and made himself
    a cup of tea
    after his topless experience.
    Thatsa what I call guts

    Ken I’m back
    and will write a few w*rds before
    I stock up on krone.

    Good to see you writing again,
    as I remember it you took
    some time off,
    well that was some time ago.
    Always good to see the old faces.

    I don’t feel anyone should have
    any feelings of compunction
    to contribute in these death houses.

    I have tipped for ten years
    and still find the odd five second vigil
    for the excommunicated.
    I am totally against the online death penalty,
    and feel a stretch is the right way.
    Preferably on the rack :mrgreen:

    Ricky talks of
    The saturday punter
    an odd phenomonum
    – people who work
    I believe.

    There is far too much racing
    to assess collateral form in the old way
    so some sensibly adapt to other structures
    or assessments to find a path.

    The strange mix of all weather form is
    also a nightmare for joe
    who used to enjoy bob a job once
    and the difficulty of weeding
    an old lady’s garden.

    I used to start more seriously
    on the flat on the 26th of May,
    nowadays there is so much happening
    I cannot even work out the date.
    The late night shop is
    the only good thing to happen
    in modern times
    and I’m off to relieve them of stock.

    One cold beer left in the fridge
    that is discipline and
    to remove it would be easy
    far easier than finding the winner
    of any common or garden Hunter Chase;
    the most befuddling sludge mix of twig form,
    and harder than a murder enquiry
    into the death of several twins
    who all ended up on the same package holiday
    kayaking in the arctic.

    goodnight
    to the poor Saturday Punter
    and the remnants of
    and an excellently contentious thread
    started by Ricky

    timepiece looks like it has a weird circular action when running imo, like it needs soft ground. kind of wishing i havent put it in my ten to follow now.

    Probably for the best if you think Hughes was at fault.

    I thought the race was full of dodgepots, in which on ability Duncan could and should have beaten them with a fair bit in hand. However last year the horse showed he’s not an easy ride, pulling fiercely hard on occasions. I think the horse was hanginhg persistently right and refusing to apply himself, had Hughes gone for everything, he’d have hung right across to the rail. You can see when he does ask him, he leans in and hampers the eventual fourth. Probably the best horse in the race but his own fault rather than the jockeys that he got beat.

    I think you’re both being a little unfair to Barshiba.
    Since stepping up to 12f and allowed to bowl along with the pace she’s been an absolute revelation – after her inaugural run when she went off too fast, she’s been beaten just once in 4 races, and that a gp1 against top class opposition.
    Dodgepot she certainly isn’t, and I’d back her to beat Duncan – anytime they meet.

    There’s no doubt that Barshiba’s willingness won her the day and I wouldn’t necessarily disagree that she’d beaten Duncan again, I don’t necessarily think she’s got as much ability, but she’s easier to channel to show it.

    Duncan completely dogged that. Can’t blame the jockey for that.
