    I can’t believe it Nathan…..Winner, Second and Third!!!
    Tricast pays £533.66.
    Forecast pays £52.15

    £600 for the win
    £520 for the forecast
    £2,668 for the tricast
    £68 for the place on 3rd

    I reckon that’s £3,616 profit

    Not bad eh Nathan. Pity I didn’t have a penny on it!!!!!!

    Kick me.

    GraysOC quoted……..

    " and has the potential to be a star if he continues to channel his abilities in the right direction".

    Definitely written by someone from a teaching background.

    If I didn’t know better I’d swear it had been lifted from my old school report.

    A similar remark applicable to the other quote also…..

    "but obviously fairly useful when he can be persuaded to start – something that may never figure very high on his list of priorities".

    I could tell you which turned out to be the more accurate prediction.

    Surely, not another boob job, Nathan? When are you going to say enough’s enough?

    I think you could ruffle a few feathers there, Nathan.

    It’s only ‘dream’ money Nathan….I’m more in your league in real life.
    Dream Phantom….typical…non-runner. Replace with Strike Up The Band.

    I was rather hoping Matthew01 might give me a reference but on second thoughts….

    Matt Chapman’s autograph, Nathan? Maybe Sean B. could arrange it for you….send him a PM or visit Boycies betting blog. Would you like a signed photograph?

    Fryern, sorry to sound a bit thick but I’m trying to work out whether or not to back Sarah’s Gift. Is it a super dooper good thing or down the tube sort of bet? Please advise.
    Thank You

    Ricky Lake wrote…..this whole episode rovolves around a fracas that happened near a chip shop

    You don’t mean when the fish got battered do you RL? I think you’ve got the wrong plaice if you ask me. It could just have been a load of old codswallop so it’s a waste of time me carping on about it.

    Yes, Ricky, I remember you well from my Circus days. If my memory serves me rightly, didn’t you get into a spot of bother down in Marrakesh? Something to do with that Russian Air Attache I do believe.

    Never mind old boy…we all make mistakes. Glad to see you back in the fold, though referring to me as a cornflake poster is a little indiscreet considering your past misdemeanors with Anatoly at breakfast times. Something of a serial (no pun intended) affair so I’m told.

    Perhaps you need to spend some time with the Czechs before coming back to the Embankment. It’s a bit chaotic here at present…some nasty business in Pimlico to sort out.

    See you.

    For your sake I just hope you find the winner, Nathan, though I fear that you might just end up selling the BIG ISSUE outside your local supermarket.

    Question to Wit, please, as you seem to be very au fait with PCs.

    A little project I hope to pursue in the near future…is it possible to somehow edit tunes/songs taken from the internet and just somehow save just short segments and end up with one continuous long track of say ten second plays of audio(only) from a variety of artistes. It’s for a Name That Tune competition for some elderly people. Do I need any particular software to be able to cut and join? I used to be able to do this when I had a reel to reel tape machine connected to record player so I’m wondering if the same principle can be applied to a computer.

    Your or anyone’s help much appreciated.

    Just testing his resolve and ingenuity, Wit. You know how it is in the Circus…..every man for himself and all that.

    As a recent interloper myself in this series of discussions, Mr Pilsner, I think I might be able to assist your natural and understandable curiosity.

    You appear to have many of the characteristics that would have stood you in good stead when I was based at ‘The Circus’ way back in the 1980’s. I am only assuming you would have achieved Grade ‘A’ security clearance though.

    However, that was then and this is now. I appreciate that it’s very unusual for the Service to conduct affairs of State by communicating via a racing forum but there’s a method behind the madness.

    You see, we’re trying to persuade ‘Gamble’ to come out of his self-imposed exile in Portmeirion. We need his skills and expertise back at the Circus as we suspect that there is someone out in the field who is intentionally ‘no balling’ ….if you get my drift.

    Only Gamble has the cunning and guile to be able to out-fox the wolf in sheep’s clothing. This is not a game for chickens, Mr Pilsner, so if you have the heart of a lion and are not afraid of being thrown to the dogs of war then maybe, just maybe, we can enlist you into ‘the family’. But not, if you are a mouse or a pussy-cat.

    Do you think you can step up to the mark, Mr Pilsner? If so, I will send you your new secret identity via here. How does Mr. Percy Papadopoulos sound?

    Okay, PP, let’s not waste any more time…get out there…start searching for this double-agent and track him down to the ends of the Earth. We are relying on you PP.

    Cheers. Get Lucky, PP.

    p.s. I suggest you make a start by taking the number 19 bus at Piccadilly via Marble Arch. Also on the bus will be a young blonde woman wearing sunglasses. Say to her, "I believe you are a trapeze artist" ….She will then pass on your instructions.

    I agree the breeding is superb…Dalakhani….the Saddlers Wells connection definitely favoured the going today though I think the S.P. was fair considering not been out before. Good spot.

    Am I right in thinking the starting price was 7/1? I tell you what, Bigphill, that was one almighty wise punt on your part.

    When I read your thread even I found it almost impossible to believe?

    Bigphill1982, whatever made you think I was insinuating anything?

    The stable has, it seemed to me, not been attracting the headlines it once did. Now that the rain-softened ground has arrived it appears to be benefitting one or two previously useless horses.

    All it proves to me is that when these ‘out of the blue’ thoughts occur, as they did this week, then it was silly of me not to have paid closer attention to his horses. Now I understand why Channon came to the fore in my thinking this week.
    Do you never have similar near-premonitions that you look back on and kick yourself for not having grasped the nettle?

    Spooky eh?
