Thanks, Nathan. I’m feeling a lot better today. Just a regular outpatient like the King.
Here we go, not as spectacular as Marlingford’s statements, but hopefully interesting enough:
1. The first racecourse I ever visited was Woodbine, Canada.
2. My first ever winning bet at the Cheltenham Festival was Montelado winning the 1993 Supreme.
3. When I’m on holiday in France, I regularly eat horse meat.
4. I have my own YouTube Channel where I unbox/unwrap different products on a regular basis.
5. Dial M for Murder is my favorite Hitchcock movie.
6. My wife is responsible for the 5 FALSE statements
7. I attended all three days of the 2003 Festival without having to buy a ticket. (No invitation, no fake ticket, best viewing)
8. The biggest payout in a tricast race was the 2007 Champion Chase which netted me almost 3k.
9. I have owned several Airbus A380 passenger airplanes – real ones (no miniatures or replicas)
10. I’ve lost a lot of money when subscribing to numerous tipster services in the mid 90s.
Ill try again..
1. The first racecourse I ever visited was Woodbine, Canada. TRUE, Gut feeling this one..
2. My first ever winning bet at the Cheltenham Festival was Montelado winning the 1993 Supreme. TRUE, we all remember out first Cheltenham Festival Winner.

4. I have my own YouTube Channel where I unbox/unwrap different products on a regular basis. FALSE, could not find it.
5. Dial M for Murder is my favorite Hitchcock movie. FALSE, its an age guess for me

Given my history use my answers as a guide..
Nice questions, and hope you feel better soon.
Glad you’re feeling a bit better today ERL. Some intriguing questions, my thoughts are as follows:
1. The first racecourse I ever visited was Woodbine, Canada.
TRUE
2. My first ever winning bet at the Cheltenham Festival was Montelado winning the 1993 Supreme.
TRUE
3. When I’m on holiday in France, I regularly eat horse meat.
FALSE, though I wonder if there is some kind of twist to this question!
4. I have my own YouTube Channel where I unbox/unwrap different products on a regular basis.
FALSE, but I hope it’s true
5. Dial M for Murder is my favorite Hitchcock movie.
FALSE
6. My wife is responsible for the 5 FALSE statements
FALSE
7. I attended all three days of the 2003 Festival without having to buy a ticket. (No invitation, no fake ticket, best viewing)
TRUE, you could have been working there
8. The biggest payout in a tricast race was the 2007 Champion Chase which netted me almost 3k.
TRUE
9. I have owned several Airbus A380 passenger airplanes – real ones (no miniatures or replicas)
It could be true in a similar way to my Elite question e.g. perhaps you owned shares in an airline. But then this similarity might be a trap! Let’s go with TRUE though
10. I’ve lost a lot of money when subscribing to numerous tipster services in the mid 90s.
FALSE
Thanks for entering landafar and Marlingford.
The tie-breaking procedure is a simple one: in case of a tie the one who posted his answers first is declared the winner. I hope everyone is okay with that.

Glad you’re feeling better, ERL – I was expecting an intriguing ten and you didn’t disappoint….
1. The first racecourse I ever visited was Woodbine, Canada. FALSE – A well-constructed fabrication, I reckon
2. My first ever winning bet at the Cheltenham Festival was Montelado winning the 1993 Supreme. TRUE – I had you down as older, hence likely to have been betting prior to 1993, but maybe I was wrong
3. When I’m on holiday in France, I regularly eat horse meat. FALSE – I’ve eaten horse meat in France, but can’t see you doing it somehow
4. I have my own YouTube Channel where I unbox/unwrap different products on a regular basis. FALSE – Can’t see that somehow either
5. Dial M for Murder is my favorite Hitchcock movie. TRUE – sounds plausible
6. My wife is responsible for the 5 FALSE statements FALSE – no one needs help as inscrutable individual as yourself with a ripping yarn
7. I attended all three days of the 2003 Festival without having to buy a ticket. (No invitation, no fake ticket, best viewing) TRUE – I like the idea of this being true, anyway
8. The biggest payout in a tricast race was the 2007 Champion Chase which netted me almost 3k. TRUE – ditto, plus I just shamelessly checked and the tricast did pay just short of three large
9. I have owned several Airbus A380 passenger airplanes – real ones (no miniatures or replicas) FALSE – no Michael O’Leary clone thee
10. I’ve lost a lot of money when subscribing to numerous tipster services in the mid 90s. TRUE – I could see you having a phase experimenting with this

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"Great stuff Ruby and I am delighted to hear you are feeling better.
1. The first racecourse I ever visited was Woodbine, Canada.
FALSE
2. My first ever winning bet at the Cheltenham Festival was Montelado winning the 1993 Supreme.
TRUE
3. When I’m on holiday in France, I regularly eat horse meat.
TRUE
4. I have my own YouTube Channel where I unbox/unwrap different products on a regular basis.
TRUE- why not? We all need interests outside racing and I know these are popular.
5. Dial M for Murder is my favorite Hitchcock movie.
FALSE
6. My wife is responsible for the 5 FALSE statements
FALSE- see 10, I couldn’t possibly assume that of her.
7. I attended all three days of the 2003 Festival without having to buy a ticket. (No invitation, no fake ticket, best viewing
FALSE- I’ll say you only managed one day
8. The biggest payout in a tricast race was the 2007 Champion Chase which netted me almost 3k.
TRUE
9. I have owned several Airbus A380 passenger airplanes – real ones (no miniatures or replicas)
TRUE
10. I’ve lost a lot of money when subscribing to numerous tipster services in the mid 90s.
FALSE- has to be if 9 is true
1. The first racecourse I ever visited was Woodbine, Canada.
FALSE Could be some other foreign obscure racecourse. Or the first racecourse you visited (on holiday) with your wife.2. My first ever winning bet at the Cheltenham Festival was Montelado winning the 1993 Supreme.
TRUE Could be false, but if false would your wife know this?3. When I’m on holiday in France, I regularly eat horse meat.
FALSE Your wife does.4. I have my own YouTube Channel where I unbox/unwrap different products on a regular basis.
FALSE It’s your wife that has a “try on” channel, wearing skimpy clothing youtubers send to her..5. Dial M for Murder is my favorite Hitchcock movie.
FALSE There are so many better ones, particularly The Birds. Dial M could be your wife’s favourite.6. My wife is responsible for the 5 FALSE statements.
TRUE Well it’s probably false, but if true then it makes all the others that bit easier to answer. ie If TRUE then it makes getting 8 or 10 correct that bit easier… However, it could also be a double bluff and I’ll end up with zero.7. I attended all three days of the 2003 Festival without having to buy a ticket. (No invitation, no fake ticket, best viewing)
TRUE As Marlingford says, you worked there… Maybe as a waiter in an expensive restaurant, where the view of the racing was particularly good. Although having said that… I seem to remember someone on TRF saying he / she worked as a waiter at Royal Ascot, So could be false… I’ll stick with TRUE for now.8. The biggest payout in a tricast race was the 2007 Champion Chase which netted me almost 3k.
TRUE If what Ian says is true about the tricast actually paying 3k. Or maybe 3k is not your biggest win in a tricast? And could be one your wife remembers – having won “3k”. I’ll go with TRUE though… and blame Ian if I get it wrong..9. I have owned several Airbus A380 passenger airplanes – real ones (no miniatures or replicas)
FALSE Sounds a bit like Marlingford’s Elite question. May be a relation (or your wife) used to have shares in Airbus.10. I’ve lost a lot of money when subscribing to numerous tipster services in the mid 90s.
TRUE Depends what your definition of “lot” is. Many punters shortly after getting into Racing are persuaded by those adds. But it does also sound like one a wife might make up or actually believe too, so I could be wrong.Value Is EverythingErl.
Sorry, your questions are too difficult and I’ve changed my 10 several times since first putting them up, So if you took my answers early you might want to check them again.
Value Is Everything“blame Ian” – why not? Everyone else does, for pretty much everything, and tbh they’re not wrong to do so a lot of the time.
I’m enjoying the answers and reasoning as much as the original statements and GT’s is no exception – hugely entertaining, love it.
