[GETT1NLOTS]

Well I backed the winner

Sorry for after eventing - NOT. :loon

Nah I did actually. I had Clan Royal and Direct Access too. Been out all day so I couldn't post up my picks. Well I wouldn't have anyway as I know sod all about the gee gee's. If anyone is interested I picked it because of some info I picked up in the Sportsman. Top paper that.

I wasn't having a go at Seen.
Sometimes you have to prod to get results.
I'm a great fan (Seen that is) and he's one of my fav tipsters (that will really annoy him).
PS.Where can I buy the book?

[ONEDUNME]

Well done Winrew

The rest of you are wank.



Gettin! Are you sponsored by The Sportsman mate? You're really impressed with it aren't you.


I was on the winner too.
Why? Cos my lad picked it out.
Why? Dunno, I'll ask him when he wakes up.

He's well chuffed that his fiver has made him £20 profit









Joke ffs

By the way, did you know that no horse wearing a noseband and carrying black, green and white colours and ridden by a jockey with the initials NM has won the National in the last 565 years.

Do you think the French BRED trend is insignificant ODM?

Yes some have come close but, as the Radio 5 commentary said yesterday, Clan Royal was "treading water" approaching the last.

It has to be a breeding thing. And yes one day something will buck the trend but until I see a run of about 6 French bred winners in 12 years or so then I will always call it a significant trend and put a line through anything with FR after its name.

Its similar to athletics. America produces some of the greatest athletes in the world yet why can they not produce a 5,000m or 10,000m champion in the way that the Kenyans/Ethiopians churn them out. Its not in their genetic make up to produce distance winners in the same way as its not in the African genetic make up to produce sprinters.

I know your example above is a sarcastic response but French bred is not some obscure deep mined trend, its a simple "If its French bred it hasn't won since 1909".

I didn't get back to you because it's never been an ambition of mine to have 'text sex' on the internet with a guy pretending to be a horny female.

:loon

Seen

well whatever my gender - i'm still interested in sprint speed ratings if you post some anytime: purely because i follow sprinters in the flat season, i'm not really a sex maniac - how's the book selling btw?

regards Colin :loon

[ONEDUNME]

It isn't

Keep an eye out for his next book "A thousand and one things to do with papier mache"

[collette38dd]

Thought he was going to follow it up with an alternative cookery book:

"Horses For Courses"
