You bin on thee iron bru with dazzer?
Last week i had a stronger than
irn bru
or two. How was yer Bacardi Breezer ?
The Lounge
I did come down
To Lounge Town.
Where there is neither
Church nor steeple.But every thread
E’er I read
Was full of decent people.Nathan, know I’ve done one already but just had to write this down in honour of my favourite horse.
DAWN APPROACH
*************
Let’s raise a glass to Dawn Approach
he’s still a top rate miler
and Jim his trusty trainer
Heaven knows he’s not a smiler (well he is sometimes to be fair
)
Sheik Mo’s an eager owner and he twisted our Jim’s arm
to run DA on Derby Day
‘It won’t do ‘im any harm
But how wrong could the dear Sheik be as running down the hill
Poor DA fell to pieces and it made me feel quite illHowever our Kev tried to get poor DA to run straight
the horse responded with a snort ‘I’m not doing that mate’
(DA the only other talking horse since Mr. Ed
)
So finally he got his way and eased him down and stopped.
the crowd roared home the winner but our Golden Boy had flopped.But only 3 weeks later to Royal Ascot he did come
and old mate Toronado started looking rather glum.The Milers Crown was up for grabs and Dawn Approach was keen,
he made his daring run through horses that were green (with envy
)
and Toronado bravely tried to gain the upper hand but…

Come on gamble – I’m in tense anticipation of your Dancing Brave-like run through the field on the last day of this competition. Not sure I’d take that 6-1 any more though.

This Lounge was once called chill out
now it’s not, what’s that all about?Now you can see that my 33/1 looks quite short
I think that Nathan should add a nought.

The Fairy Tale
The Coral Eclipse looked a mighty fine race
the four in the field were strong and had paceDawn Approach lead them on a fine fast clip
to steal a wide lead and give um the slipAl Kazeem and Farhh were soon bustled along
but Snow Fairy in rear was still travelling strongManning looked around, his face looked quite scary
as there catching up was mighty Snow FairyThe crowd got louder and cheered for the Snow
race was nearly finishing and she started to flowShe went past Dawn Approach one furlong out
back at home watching telly I started to shoutI gave an almighty cheer as She was 1st past the line
She had won it in style, in a fashion quite fineThe comeback queen had really, really shone
and I had back her ante post at 100 to oneGingertipster

When Julian failed to bowl a maiden over
It happened down at Newmarket a memory that will linger –
You’ve guessed it, yes it was that day when Julian broke his finger.He blamed it on two women who had backed a high priced nag,
Which Julian would have only have described to be The Rag.
The horse..a well bred colt by the champion Slip Anchor
Obliged at 20 pounds to one
And Julian thought you w….. (little rascal)For Jules had backed the favourite who’d run a rotten race,
But he clutched his form book bravely – as the tears ran down his face
Then wifey came up to the stands with fingers in her ear
And what she said to Julian we caused to overhear‘Those women backed the winner – and their screaming is obscene’
‘let’s go Jules – I hear they’re playing Cricket on the GreenSeveral hours later it was Julian who was yelling
As he held his little pinky as the nurse bandaged the swelling!
And wifey once again had both her fingers in her ears
It really wasn’t Julian’s day – BUT IT WAS THE BEST WE’D HAD IN YEARSThe Ante Post King

Ruthless I am or so I portray,
I bet every horse in a race,
and very rarely Lay
Jus cos I’m Ginger
dont mean that I’m Gay
But I do have a Soft spot
for TAPK.He’s the King who’s Ring
sends me dingaling dong
I dream about him
wearing a thong
His Foresight is so right
and mine is so wrong
My little shrimp
cant Shwim with his Schlong.But I’ll never give in
trying to be like him
He’s a legend on here
his lights never dim
Year after year
he does it again
profound words
come from his pen.A single arrow
flown in an arc
its razor sharp tip
hits its ‘Mark’
His styles unique
no one can poach
TAPK
takes a ‘Different Approach’.I’ve tried to make him
look a prat
but everytime
I end up the T*at
he’s the prophet
of Profit
I have to confess
whilst my Ginger threads
jus lookin a mess.Why am i jus so obsessed
I cant settle for 2nd best
but try as I may
he’s the King
lets just rejoice
Cheer and sing
for he is racings lord

Up went the tape, as the starter began the race,
The first horse hit the deck, dirt covered the jockeys face,
Four or Five fences jumped now, faster and faster got the pace,
A tail enders jockey gets busier, he’d be lucky to get a place,Down to the mighty Beechers, and over the Chair,
Across the Melling Road and away from the crowds glare,
Punters grasping there tickets, winnings they would not share,Only two to jump now, the roar of the crowd like thunder,
Was anything going to catch this fabulous horse from down under?Round the Elbow now surely nothing would get past,
Pitman a Grand National winner it would happen at last,
One final look round, Pitmans face was aghast,
Another horse was flying, finishing fast,Past the post they went and Pitmans face was glum,
He and Crisp were run down by the mighty Red Rumthehorsesmouth

Keep voting and remember there is a mystery prize for the winner so please don’t vote for me, it will spoil the fun.
Blackbeard to conquer the World
Nathan..Julian Wilson was sitting next to me again today at Newmarket and my horse beat his again, just like in the poem.
Feel like Dancing
..no he didn’t
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Is this the Julian Wilson that you speak of Trip?
He’s just done a new book.

Yes that’s him Nathan, he looks like he’s about to throttle me..now I’m going to have nightmares 
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Give him a packet of haribo starmix Trip, might cheer him up a bit.
Still time to vote everyone.
