"What occurred may well be humorous to many people but I think the test is whether it's hurtful to people and what occurred is quite hurtful to a number of people,'' he said.

Could not be more spot on

When the bloke coming down the outside tripped and sent the wee fella on his back face first into the turf I pissed myself {What occurred may well be humorous to many people} and I am sure the short person had a nasty grass burn on his face {what occurred is quite hurtful to a number of people}

Is Mr Ed running this year?

by Merlin Wed 14 Oct 2009, 09:09

Mr Ed ... is an 11 y o chestnut gelding - a Chaser standing over 16 hands, and is still plying his trade over fences on the smaller circuits around the South, especially Fontwell.

He should be making his seasonal appearance soon providing he hasn't been retired recently!

Couldn't believe the odds on Kirkless a week ago and was looking forward to a nice little pay day. Now this.

by G.Wood Thu 15 Oct 2009, 03:33

Why didn't you put the bet on last week then?

by Bradman Thu 15 Oct 2009, 04:53

I know but was waiting for the barrier draw. Anyone who plonks money on a CC before the barrier draw is trusting to more than just luck.

by G.Wood Thu 15 Oct 2009, 04:57

It's called punting ???.

If you took the punt early you would now be laughing

Of course it all means bunk if it gets beat.

by Bradman Thu 15 Oct 2009, 05:05

Yes it's called punting. A form of gambling where you try to take into consideration a number of factors. If you want to bet on the CC before the barrier draw you may as well blow it on keno.

Still $9.00 isn't to be sniffed at.

by G.Wood Thu 15 Oct 2009, 05:12

One of those factors is what the BD may do to the odds - and you waited and lost. You may as well have plonked on Keno anyway

Heard this morning that William Hill has laid odds on the cost of a lay by Sea of the Stars. 6-4 fav is Euro 90-110,000 per cover.

He'll cover 200 mares in the Northern season. FFS - what a way to retire - eat sleep and r00t - should rename him wombat!

and he gets a little helper to all the tedious stuff up front.

a fluffer and spanker?

Are you applying?

you said "little", so I thought you meant you . . .

Nah, they don't want to have to train anyone

No because if it had drawn barrier 18 I would've been farked. Five days out I can make an informed decision (no matter how wrong that decision might be). Betting on it before the barrier draw is like betting on keno because you're hoping the numbers fall your your way.

I'm a gambler not a slot machine player.

Bradders in Kenny Rogers shocker . . . you gotta know when to hold 'em . . . .

by Bradman Thu 15 Oct 2009, 06:04

Never a truer word spoken tac.

See, mate, I'm not so pretentious afterall . ..

So you were waiting for him to draw a good barrier (and, hence, have the odds reduced) before backing him and then complain when he draws a good barrier and the odds reduce?
