Always laugh at this no matter how many times I watch it. That's Lee Mack playing the part of the jockey - the same Lee Mack who worked in Ginger McCain's yard back in the 80s

He's spoken about it quite a bit . The first horse to took out for a ride was Red Rum, apparently

Very smart new forum, well done. I particularly like the green colour scheme

Heartwarming to see some familiar names here.

Good to see ol' bigfoot passing through on his travels

Good to see you too littlefeat; your posts thus far on this shiny new board have been pleasingly polite...which is nice

In big fields of convivial talking horses garrulous amateur riders bruised from being thrown can cause much trouble in running. Aged taciturn apprentices are wise enough to observe from the wide outside

 

[Oldtimer]

I have always respected your views, Drone, and have taken that onboard

The Cuprinol paint that I used on my garden fence is discontinued and I’m obsessively looking at different shades of green in an effort to repaint it ( with no success). So I’m trying to work out what shade of green the forum now is ( it’s very green). I’m thinking it’s forest green; too light to be racing green…

 

[Ian_Davies]

I think it's a jolly good green, whatever hue it actually is - "Talking Horses Green?"

Hi,Drone - good to know you still have an interest.

I really do like the new layout now I’m finding my way around. It’s bright and shiny and clean and the emojis are great...far better than what we had before so it’s much easier to add expression with a post!
