    What's the Persian cats film about, Bets? (No, don't tell me it's Persian cats!)

    New Whip Rules

    But what sort of job was it, if he was just a mouthpiece, and not part of the decision-making process on any issues? You wouldn't really need to have to pay someone a decent salary to simply front whatever was decided without their own input - I assume he carried PR along with 'communications'...

    Stud Open Days....

    Can I add in the TBA Stallion Parade at Tattersalls, Newmarket, on Thursday, February 2? "A great opportunity for mare owners to inspect outstanding stallions, including first-season sires, at one venue", says the blurb. Free entry to parade, which will start immediately before the February...

    Blimey, Chef - that's some signature line! By whom? :D

    First season sires 2012.

    OTB - uh, well, hope I'm not tempting Fate by saying what I said! But to be honest, I've not seen a VERGLAS I haven't liked, and the trainers with his progeny I've spoken with say they like them, too. Constitutionally they seem to be sound, robust beasties. Best of luck to your young girlie -...

    Crikey, Hezz! Another racing dynasty is born! :lol: You can't go far wrong with a VERGLAS - as long as you don't mind grey - they come up tall and strongly made, very handy over hurdles, too.

    Interesting - after the film, although I'd read about him as a kid, I looked up lots of sites and nothing mentioned a blind eye. Not even mentioned in the film. Being one-sided for a time would no doubt account for his spooking.

    Ascot Refund

    After some of the weskits sported by Wee Wullie Carson? :blink: And considering that an Ascot tie is a form of cravat, it's a bit ironic they've banned them!

    Thinks: get in now, before there's a sudden drop to 5-1!

    Cheers, Hezz. Nice to have another horsey out with a forum connection, so we can all watch with extra interest. Best wishes to the little chap - and your cousin.

    Thanks, Grey. I'm sure your reasoning is totally sound, but I'm going to give Fruity the benefit of the doubt you've sowed, nonetheless! Heck, now I'm back in modest funds, I can have a wee flutter!

    New Whip Rules

    High farce, though, surely? Now he'll be required to front the jockeys who, having demanded to be given clear rules on how many strikes were permitted and agreed that they could indeed count to seven or eight, are now counterdemanding a change to the change in whip rules, to accommodate those...

    I've never read of Bucephalus being blind in one eye, but he would've benefitted from the application of a sheepskin noseband! He was a shadow jumper, which is what the young Alex found out when he demanded the horse be bought for him. He cleverly turned Bucie towards the sun to ride him, so...

    Skybet Chase Saturday Donny

    What won't matter is the ground - he wins and places from Good to Heavy. I don't know how the straight compares to others when he did well in his hurdling days, Grey? Is it longer than Lingfield's, for example? He did well there previously, although I realise that his chasing has largely been...

    I'm a huge FRUITY fan. The wee fellow is dogged as a terrier and I'm actually going to have an e/w bet on the lad. I like your idea on his tactics, Tanlic - not many people knew those!

    The Pointing Thread

    Really looking forward to a well-informed outing with El Martino. Meanwhile, now I know where another horse has gone - MUSTANGSALLYRALLY, and also MARBLEHEAD, which I Googled the other day and found is a rather beautiful, traditional coastal town in the Antipodes.
