BTW why has the "quote the entire previous post" virus infected this forum- it’s a bit tedious…..

Mainly because it’s bloody hard work not to!

Colin,

It’s probably just frustration – imagine a life in which your preferred sexual partner has eight legs and excessive body hair.

With a bit of luck she’ll bite his head off soon.

Probably the first time she’s broke quickly, & she was on terms at the last bend (dog term I know!) when she was bumped by the horse inside her which pushed her into the one on the outside & she was bounced about between them. Once her chance had gone Adrian let her come home in her own time.
Just had an email saying she’s OK & may run again before Christmas.

Bookmaking as such wasn’t illegal pre Betting Shops. It was taking cash that was illegal. All transactions were supposed to be on credit accounts.

I’m a moody old git as well, but I bet he’s got better teeth than me!

The former hurdler, Silver Wedge also lives there as a retiree – he too looks well and happy and it was really nice to hear of his whereabouts. Hopefully when we have a stable visit, the "official Forum photographer" will be present and able to post pics up of these two.

That’s good to hear, I’m looking forward to seeing him, he was a favourite of mine always genuine, Silver Wedge, I mean!

I would have thought in these days of computerised slips they would have to honour the bet?<br>If a bookie makes a rick he should live with it. <br>I presume you were not talking about a huge sum of money or else alarm bells would have rung in the clerks ears!

I always put racing on my CV along with darts, dominos, cribbage and most pub games. If people don’t like me the way I am, I don’t want to work for the narrow minded prigs.

Good jockeys are the same as good bricklayers; they make it look easy. You try it!<br>While it is true that there are many competent jockeys out there who could ride the everyday winners, finding a man with that little bit extra is more difficult. There is a fine line between a journeyman and a maestro. I believe this man is going to go home with a big bag of winnings (if he does go home). Good luck to him and all who follow his rides!<br>His record is in Oz is worth a look, if you don’t believe me, & it’s not an easy life out there.

With colts in the yard or even next door, you would know immediately when a filly is in season.

I fail to see how an industry SP will stop punters from being ripped off. Surely all that will happen is the middle men ie. the on-course bookies won’t have the influence, but we’ll be ripped off directly from the big 3?<br>

Do I remember Young Hustler crossing the line first in the Grand National, unfortunately having got rid of his rider on the previous circuit?
