Hi everybody
JohnnyB has kind of stolen some thunder here but
King John’s Castle
Is an absolute must at 40/1 (I’m on 50 bf)
He’s obviously being targeted at the race and has been showing a high level of chase form over 2m4f and 3m which are the distances you want in a National candidate.
In the main he’s a sound jumper and really took the eye when winning over hurdles yesterday as he jumped big yet seemed to keep an awful lot for himself.
If not a bet to win then a bet to trade is definately in order. Especially when you consider the likelyhood (no worse than 50% IMO) of A P McCoy getting the leg up and the fact he’ll be well backed by the once a year punters for his colour.
The only concern would be if the ground turned up lively but that’s only because he’s unproven on anything without a little give. A similar situation also applied to last year’s winner, Silver Birch, but that only gave him juicier odds.
Whatever the case, King John’s Castle shouldn’t be 40/1 and won’t be on the day.
Hi everybody. Happy new Tuesday and all that.
Yesterday, I had a fascinating experience with my girlfriend. Basically, she slapped me up with make-up and we pretended we were lesbians. With me being of a slight figure (and apparently blessed with girly eyes) we were able to get into it and take it to fun places. Freaky I know but it was something different and a bit special IMHO.
Anyways, apart from this being a blatant first thread of the year in the lounge thing, I was wondering if anybody else on this forum has tried ‘crossing’ and if so, would you try it again?
Peace
6 races over a combo of hurdles, brush hurdles, and portable fences. Not 1 faller, not 1 unseated, I would suggest that the executive have turned one of the great NH tests into a glorified P-T-P track.
I’m no expert but I do like horses and an entire meeting without casualtys is a bloody good thing in my book. Granted the old fences looked much better but I think the course is taking progressive steps in making the sport safer for the animals which should be a paramount concern for all concerned.
To digress a little, I agree with much of the anti-scally comments on here. The solution is to offer a security guard a tenner to let you in the posher stand. They never accept the cash but discreetly send you up all the same (what with Scousunians being friendly if rambunctious fellows). Alternatively, stick to Wetherby because Yorkshire folk are much more civilized than NorWestners.
Bloke charges into his home one night and shouts out ”Pack yer bags luv, av won t’lottery!"
"Excellent!" replies the wife. "Shall I pack for the city or the country?"
Bloke sez "I don’t really care where, just fu<k off!"
What’s your most killer guitar performance of all time?
As far as pro’s go, check out Stanley Jordan’s stairway.

My girlfriend would be Ibn Khaldun. Not particularly due to the horses trait (although she is quite young) but during the RP trophy, I rode and whipped her just as Kerrin McEvoy did. (I used her bra strap as the rein and an Ann Summers cane as the whip) Good times!
Personally, I think I match Harchibald. Flashes of top class but usually a bit of a pig when it comes to putting any effort into anything. Also, I often find myself being ridden by a booze hound!
A mention for Andrew Thornton on Kingscliff
If we’re on about all the bits intact then Richard Johnson on Made In Japan in the 2004 Triumph wasn’t half bad either.
One of my housemates does homegrowing allegedly.
Hasn’t got a clue though and the slugs seem have taken the best bits. Serves her right for being naughty I say.
‘Identity’ with Donny Osmond. Must be seen to be believed.
I am so glad you mentioned that crock of ****. Whilst typing my rant list, I tried my best to remember what that show was called but couldn’t for the life of me figure it out.
Didn’t it just do your fahking head in giving that show a chance before you realized that it only took 3 minutes to film the ******?
Hey
Class of the horse is one, suitability or race is another, likelihood of major contenders defecting is pretty useful but staying injury free is paramount.
Try backing horses at a price three times what they’d likely be if the race was ran tomorrow.
Not that I’m an ante-post expert, but my only previous bet was Well Chief at 16s for the Arkle many moons ago. That said, my Alexander Taipan GC bet has drifted ridiculously since I went in
Cheers for the omission of the ironic subjectivism in my quote. I’m glad somebody spotted it
Is there a chance that Kauto Star could be getting a little ‘fed up’ with racing?
It would be a great shame but for last season which already cemented his place in legend-dom.
At his age, Kauto should theoretically still be improving as even French breds can race beyond seven. But it is a little unnerving to see a horse who travels as well as any before him slack off after a mile on the undemanding Mildmay course.
Cheers for that.
Though I still maintain that to stand a chance in the BC Classic, you have to be as hard as nails both physically and mentally.
Georgeous was inept in both these categories as shown by the injury picked up in the Irish 2000 and his mental instability he displayed each and every time he set foot on a racetrack.
Giants Causeway on the other hand was able to put in NINE performances of the highest magnitude before his BC exploits and in each of those races he looked like he could run through a brick wall and still ask for more.
Hi everybody
If this point has been raised earlier on this forum then I apologise.
What’s pretty concerning to me is Coolmore’s absolutely unnecessary obsession with running horses in the Breeders Cup Classic. Granted top, established horses have nothing to lose but the chances of gain are remote. Furthermore, what good is the gain to an operation whose produce run predominantly on European turf?
Giants Causeway is the notable exception but as like most BC Classic horses, he was tougher than a coffin nail, classier than Fred Astaire and was bred for the job. Not all aforementioned attributes could have been applied to George Washington, Oratorio, Hold That Tiger, Hawk Wing, Galileo or Black Minnaloushe.
I think that horses from Ballydoyle should steer well clear of the classic from here on unless a suitable candidate emerges from under AOBs supervision.
OK now I get you.
I agree completely with that notion and was going to raise that point but you seem to have put it better than I could have.
Though I often wonder what it would be like if Cartmel staged a Group One
Yeah but the Arc’s been ran at Longchamp since 1920.
The Betfair ”Lancashire” Chase will only be ran for the third time this year. So it wouldn’t be a real heavy break from tradition if it were to be moved.
Although, it still has to be said that Haydock offers racegoer facilities (especially viewing wise) which are well up to Group 1 standard.

Paddy jumps off the train at Paddington and immediately sets about looking for some brass. Within 40 seconds, he finds a working girl and approaches her.
”Top of the morning to you. If I give you £50, can I blow up your skirt?”
The harlot is a little befuddled but she sees no harm in it. So she lifts her skirt a little and Paddy puffs away before handing over the £50
Paddy strides purposefully to the next B-girl and asks her for the same pleasure. Again, the whore is a little perplexed but seeing as though t’was near enough money for nothing, she agreed. Huff, puff, cash.
And this continues. For an entire week in fact.
So a week later, Paddy’s with the prozzie who he met 7 days earlier. Again Paddy asks if he can do his aquired deed for £50. The scarlet woman says
”Off course you can. But I have to ask you, what are you getting from all this? For a whole week, you’ve just been blowing away without getting anything else. You’re becoming pretty famous in our circles. As a matter of fact, even girls who don’t walk the streets have been approaching you. So why are you doing this?”
Paddy responds
”Well me father told me to go to London and blow up as many ***** as I can!”
