A couple more fillies (courtesy of Steve Taplin's excellent 2 year olds book): Pride - Lion Heart x Coffee Springs Skating - Danetime x Dalal According to the book, Initiation is with Ger Lyons. A quote from the trainer states he needs time and won't be out until June or July.

Funnily enough I did exactly the same thing after my Christmas do too!

It's probably already been mentioned on this thread but this is my favourite race: Dawn Run

Driving back to Carlisle last night was a nightmare. It was a right pea-souper and I had a wagon hanging onto my tail lights all the way down the dual carriageway. When I moved over on to the slip road to come off the dual carriageway I could not see a thing. At all. I just kept going in what I...

What film are you most ashamed to admit to owning a copy of? I will confess to owning Titanic.

From the RP: Racecourse catering students 'at risk of exploitation' by Paul Eacott YOUNG female catering students recruited for temporary work at big race meetings such as the Grand National and Cheltenham Festival are at risk of exploitation for sexual favours, according to claims made by...

This is probably the race I'm looking forward to most tomorrow. With question marks over Jonjo O'Neill's stable form and Hardy Eustace running over a distance I think he's run over only once before I think Chief Dan George could be good value at 14/1.

I'm pleased to see Alan Munro has been passed fit to ride again. I think he's one of the best jockeys around and I'm always quite happy if he's on a horse I've backed. According to the RP has plans to come back around February or March next year.

Is he Frankie's father-in-law?

I've just had the pleasure of dropping my other half at his Christmas do. After contending with 8 miles of dual carriageway with roadworks all the way and thick fog I then had to brave the centre of Carlisle. Today is known as 'Black Eye Friday' up here (is it elsewhere too?) so I had the job...

I'm looking for a Playstation game for my other half's Christmas but don't have a clue what to get. He likes games along the lines of Medal Of Honour, Call Of Duty, Black and Grand Theft Auto. Can anyone help with any suggestions?

There's a rather delightful one here: Christmas jumper

Does anyone have Edredon Bleu's win in the 2001 Championship Chase at Sandown?

Sounds like Kirsten Rausing's speech at her stallion parade was interesting: From the RP: Rausing blast at stallion monopoly in Newmarket by Rachel Pagones KIRSTEN RAUSING took the opportunity of her pre-Christmas stallion parade to give a sharp slap to one of her competitors in the...
