Great to see this horse retired fit and well. May he enjoy his retirement. Just thinking of the races when he looked beat halfway through and then in the last furlong seeing him edging closer and hearing the commentator and the crowd cheering him on still gives me goose pimples.

I received a phone call today asking if I could take part in a phone interview on Friday. The application I sent must have been what they wanted to hear so id like to say a big thanks for the advice and help from everyone on here.

Hi folks, Recently I graduated from University with a degree in Computer Science and have got a job application form for the position "trainee ICT technician". Now the first question is a section headed with "Trust" and the question is "How, in your career, have you had to inspire trust in others?"

For the last few months I have been working in a nice pub as a barman/waiter. Would it be a good idea to use an example from this job as teamwork is a big factor in providing good customer service and to ensure good teamwork each member of staff must trust each other? Would it be a good idea to expand this as the example?

I know its a rather boring subject but any help would be really appreciated.

I really enjoyed the day as it was my first time in the Premier stand and was very impressed with the facilities.

Another aspect i liked was the access to the parade ring and was suprised that the weigh in room was in between a Champagne and refreshment bar. Also to be standing near the parade ring and to have the jockeys almost "brush shoulders" with you was rather exciting!

im not so lucky, a 40 min drive for me. Lets hope the weather stays good!

Some good opinions there, Binocular was another i could easily have picked.

Any thoughts on Jockeys of the season? Mine would be in no order…

1. Denis O regan – Had a cracking season with howard johnson.
2. Sam Thomas – Some great rides this season, especially on Denman
3. Graham Lee – Was doin really well until injured.
4. Mick Fitz – Glad he didnt hang up his wip.
5.Ruby Walsh – Ever consistant.

Franchoek was a tough choice, theres just something about him thats kept me following him. Its interesting to see how most people’s choices are almost the same!

[mead1986]

i think i will avoid all possible conflict with these liverpudlion women, they seem scarier than McCirick!

Also a main complaint from my seasoned race goer uncle was the fact that there seems less and less racing people going to these events and more "larger" louts. Hopefully the overall experience wont be ruined by these people!

[mead1986]

yes your right there sean, thanks for the replies vk too.

I think i will take the tickets, wouldnt fancy the idea of 70,000 people on sat tho! hope you have a good time!

[mead1986]

i think kauto is entered but im not 100% sure he will run, hopefully he will! The tickets are for the tattersalls.

[mead1986]

thanks aaronizneez, im glad i could get the best mate now knowing thats theres a good chance i could see some of the race live! just hope the weather is good too.

[mead1986]

hi guys, i ordered my ticket on tuesday for the friday in the best mate enclosure but ive been told there wont be many left by the end of the week. i will be going with my uncle for the 1st time who is a seasoned veteran when it comes to the festival so he should show me how its all done.

I’m really looking foward to the gold cup, Kauto for me! As for the atmosphere, i can’t wait to experience it. When ever i ask people who have been in the past they always say the atmosphere is brilliant.. counting down to the days already!

[mead1986]

for me one of my favorate jump jockeys is Tom Scudamore i dunno what it is but it mainly been since riding for pipey

[mead1986]

My favorite names would have to be:

Brave Inca
Sea pigeon
Viking Flagship (im sure theres a member on here with that name too)
Exotic Dancer

[mead1986]

I must say although u2 aren’t my fave band, they were excellent live.. Bono just stole the show, at times i could feel myself getting goose pimples just watching him.

As for their music i like only a handfull of songs such as "Where the streets have no name", "Still havnt found what im looking for", "sunday bloody sunday".

[mead1986]
