    Interestingly David Nicholson ( The Duke ) once said to me he was a big believer of the bodyweight of a horse being a very important indicator of the well being of a horse

    This is disgusting and really does the industry immeasurable harm. Shameful

    This is a sad tale but I have found them OK after taking over from my Tote account. Certainly better than the idiot on the train

    Hills are going 3s The Fly from 9am tmrw, nrnb, so pile on if you fancy him and aren’t on at fancy prices.

    Pile on? I tried to get a grand on and was offered £49.50 at 3/1 and the rest at 9/4. Tossers

    You coudn`t blame them for ducking Big Bucks. He is something special but so is the mare. As long as we see her in something I will be happy and the stayers would be interesting

    You chaps would know my father in law Fred Buller ,who regularly gets his book reviews in the Times. Falkus & Bullers Freshwater Fishing , Freds the Domesday book of Mammouth Pike etc.

    He took me fishing to the Delphi in the West of Ireland about fifteen years back ,along with a selection of the principal illustrious fishing authors in Europe. I had been a sea/game fisherman but never fresh . Fish were very scarce but after two days I caught a fine sea trout and was awarded the Delphi silver salmon being the only fish caught so far. This continued through out the week and at the end of the week was awarded the real silver salmon badge to keep ,being the only fish caught . These experts all looked a little sheepish and I think my father in law was a little embarassed by my hardly deserved success . Some of them had fished there a lifetime to try to win this badge.
    ce`st la vie

    A pike angling god Roddy! I have a very old book penned by Fred, Hugh Faulkus and the great Dick Walker. The Doomsday Book Of Mammoth Pike is a pike fishing bible.

    Thanks for posting. :)

    If you want your book signed by Fred you could send it to me Hammy. My e mail is roddy@foodnet.ltd.uk
