You think you’re a good driver
I am, I passed second time which means I’ve learnt from my mistakesYou own a house worth between £190,000 and £210,000
Uh no. I own a house thats currently on the market around 150000, possible dicsount for any TRF membersAnd posess a copy of Queen’s Greatest Hits
Not guilty.You are five foot, nine and a half inches tall
On tiptoes yesForty years old
As of July this yearAnd have a thirty-seven inch waist
I have a thirty fourish inch waist which I have had since my early twenties and still have the trousers to prove itYou have two children
Yes, my son and my wifeYour wife is size sixteen
I’m afraid to askYou have sex six times a month
Which month would that be ?but with the World Hurdle field looking possibly weaker (Inglis Drever, Wichita Lineman & Blazing Bailey the only likely contenders),
Triple, do you not think Chief Dan George would have a chance in the World Hurdle ? Apart from Cheltenham where it pulled a muscle it improved all season culminating in a win at Aintree in a comparable time to Mighty Man. If CDG doesn’t go chasing and there is some give in the ground I think he is a viable contender
Not sure if allowed as didnt realise it was past 5.30 !

1035 George WashingtonA couple who have just got married are spending their honeymoon in a quiet area of Scotland near a lake. Every day the groom is seen on the lake fishing. Two locals who are aware that the man is on his honeymoon find this a little strange and after a week can’t hold their curiosity any longer and confront the man when he comes in from his fishing.
One of the men says "Here son do you mind me asking you a question ?"
"Not at all" replies the groom
"Well when I was first married my wife and I spent the majority of our honeymoon getting to know each other if you know what I mean"
"Ah well I normally would be doing the same" says the groom "but she’s got gonorrhea"
The second man says " Well she could always practice her oral technique surely?"
"Usually yes, but she also has pyorrhea" says the groom
The two locals look at each other and agree on their next question and say "Well son couldn’t you roll her over and do it that way"
"Well I could if she didn’t have the diarrhoea" replied the goom
Once again the two men look at each other and in desperation say
"Bloody hell, gonorrhea, pyorrhea and diarrhoea, why on earth did you marry her?""Ah well" says the groom , "she’s also got worms and I do love my fishing"
I was never much of a fan of his television show, however I have to admit I do like his radio show in the mornings although it isn’t quite the same without the late Paul Walters. He mentioned the Points of View episode this morning and one listener e-mailed in along the lines that it was a particular problem sometimes when wearing mole skinned trousers if you forgot to remove the mole !
Three newlywed couples are all staying in the same hotel in adjoining rooms. All three have miraculously waited until their wedding nights before seeing each other naked.
The first couple undress whereupon the man exclaims " Bloody hell you’ve got the biggest tits I’ve ever seen !"
"Don’t you speak to me like that on my wedding night" says she, "go out on to the balcony to calm down."
The second couple undress whereupon the man exclaims " Bloody hell thats the biggest bum I’ve ever seen!"
Once again the bride says"Don’t you speak to me like that on my wedding night, go out on to the balcony to calm down."
The first chap spots the second chap and chats about why they have been sent to Coventry. Whilst they are chatting the third chap walks on to his balcony and they both say " I suppose you’ve put your foot in it as well "
The third chap replies " No but I could of !"
I strongly fancy Satwa Queen against Light Shift if the ground remains soft. 2nd in the race last year behind Arc fancy Mandesha and unbeaten on soft ground.
Would also go against Laureldean Gale with a choice to me made from a couple of outsiders in Gagnoa and Gipson Desert with maybe slight preference for the former.

"To put it simply, comparing Tennis to racing is like comparing Mother Theresa to Pol Pot, racing is and always was a betting run sport, without the betting side of it racing would be an afterthought a hobby for landed gentry to have private wagers.
Spencer & Co would do well to remember that us punters and racegoers pay his wages as they do his employers"Why would he do well to remember ? He’s providing a service that is obviously required which people are willing to pay him for. where that comes from is neither here or there. Should an R&D chemist do well to remember that its those unfortunate ill people that pay his wages by buying the product he’s developed. I think like the majority of people all he’s interested in is what the benefits are for him.
As for Mother Theresa and Pol Pot, currently I can see no difference between them at all as neither of them will be troubling the judge any time soon.
I don’t think Jamie Spencer gives two hoots about how many people back his mounts. Like the majority of sportspeople he competes for himself. His main difference to other sports I guess is that he relies on something else ( the horse ) to achieve his ambitions so he has in part a responsibilty to the trainer and owners to do his best for them. For punters though I very much doubt it. Any sportsman at the top of their profession has usually got there for selfish reasons. I don’t suppose Roger Federer gives a minutes thought to how much money is riding on his back. As for the QEII , I’m not sure Excellent Art would have beaten Ramonti with a clearer run. Dettori has asked his mount for maximum effort after coming round the home turn and has won the race there by going a couple of lengths clear. If Dettori had waited another furlong before asking for the efoort I think the result would probably have been the same IMHO.
Stone Roses at leicester Uni before they made it big – loudest concert I’ve ever been to. Been to the Cropredy festival arranged by Fairport Convention a couple of times which is great, went when Jethro Tull headlined the Friday night before racing back the following morning with a groom and best man for the wedding. Saw The Wedding Present in Wolverhampton where they played for about an hour and people were being carted back from the front after collapsing. Mind you there was a very funny hempish smell about the venue. The Stranglers at De Montford Hall were brilliant as were the Alarm. Deacon blue were good at De Mont but rubbish at the NEC. The Monkees (minus Mike Nesmith) were good at Nottingham as were Jethro Tull. Simply Red were OK at the NEC, not as good as Level 42. 10000 Maniacs were not bad, I think they were on with Natalie Merchant can’t remember where. Least attended was at Leicester Uni for Frazer Chorus (I think thats what they were called) where the crowd was about a dozen !
Been to others but I’ve bored you enough.
Dj,
You said
Have a look at the time comparison of the Champion Hurdle with the Fred Winter. Despite both races appearing to be run at a similar pace. On time the Champion Hurdle was just 7 lb faster.
I understand what you are saying but sometimes times can be misleading. The Foxhunters ran after the Gold Cup was run 6 seconds slower and won by a horse off 113 carrying 4lb more than the Gold Cup winner. The Arkle was won in a faster time than the Queen Mother in softer going.
For my continued understanding could you explain to me the 7lb faster calculation you have reached please. I have Sublimity winning in a time 2.05 seconds faster than Gaspara carrying 13lb more weight on officially softer ground
. At .25 seconds for a length I get that approximately 8 lengths. Are you saying that a length is worth less than a pound over 2M or are you taking an age allowance etc. Thanks in advance[This is the year that a jumped up handicapper will progress through the ranks to win the Champion Hurdle. Sublimity got lucky and caught the old guard on their way down last year whilst Katchit lacks scope and is terrible value at present.
I’m not sure that Sublimity was lucky at all. If it hadn’t been hampered the year before it would have a 100% festival record. With give in the ground and a fast pace I think Sublimity will have every chance of winning again.
