We only own retired horses now and the training was always done by a team. When I say 'one of his horses' I was referring to one that he has bred. It didn't end up racing because of the going - We like to look after our horses and they'd never race in today's conditions.

Flat horses don't get hurt on soft ground, generally.

No, you're right - they don't.

Because of the weather, the soft ground started to become heavy in patches. We don't like to race in it and neither did the owners of the other several horses that pulled out.

My other half likes a flutter on the gee gees never wins like he always goes for double barrel names or follows a certain trainer and wen he doesn't have a bet they win and wen he does have a bet they lose

Mugs game.

Yep only one winner the bookies

The horse that's first over the line is a winner, too.

Fair enough

first across the line isnt it and still no tips and i think its about time for a picture change edith

[uEdith's tip of the day;[/u

Help others.

I’ll just give you a plethora of reasons why this is a MUST;

[list=11. Helping people has a ripple effect. If you help someone they will feel more obliged to help someone else, and so on. Pay it forward.
2. You grow by giving and helping others. It can change you in ways you never expected.
3. Your relationship with that person will become stronger.
4. It’s the most fulfilling thing you can do on this planet. It not only feels amazing physically, you also feel like a good person
5. You might be able to call in a favour later when you need some help.
6. Karma (if you believe in it).
7. Because there are more people in this world than just you.[/listicon_surprised.gif

Won't stay long, that. I'm ROOOUUUGGGGHHHH today.

How mind numbingly boring is the F1? I would tell you if I was able to think about it clearly.

So, Hamilton has got another pole - Does he get a physical pole? Like the England football players get an actual cap?

How big is this pole?

i dont think im going to get any horse tips off you but im 3 from 3 and 1 non runner so im doing ok today so far

make that 4 from 4

8 from 17 not a bad day 3 more to come

They took Lewis' pole off him in the end, bit mean although I can imagine he's got enough poles at home.

Just seen some footage of the East Midlands Tough Mudder, Phwoar - some fitties in there, eh? All mudded up and sweaty, Like winter Rugby.

"Fitties?"

I saw a few weirdos helplessy stumbling around like drunken lab rats.

Is all I have you my lady-named chums.

Chat thread 7 coming soon.

I would like either gingerspice or LRR to name it.

This is very exciting indeed.

It'll be the start of a new era, hopefully to coincide with the removal of Matty & Anakin as moderators, and the coronation of Barnabus as top moderator.

Noooo, the pressure.

How about, Chat thread 7: Never mind the =#FF0000Edit-AS
Or
Chat thread 7: Ultimate wizadry

Edit. Chat thread 7: No crabs allowed.

Poor Crab.

Apparently, Anakin pulled both his claws off and keeps him imprisoned in his fish tank at home.

Great suggestion, Ramekin will love that.

I'll do gingers for her; "Chat fred 7, mustly incomrehinsable."

They'll grow back.

Bigger.

Meatier.

Pinchier.

And then Ramekin will be in trouble, he'll pinch his knacker jimas and pliers off.
