Guessing the identities of those referred to within the latest addition to Shadow Leader's signature could provide an interesting competition ...

 

[Shadow Leader]

.....it's a quote, sweetie - one I was sent recently.

 

[uncle goober]

Excellent, so we can guess the author too!

What do we win ?!

 

[Shadow Leader]

I might be nice to you....

Besides which, you're automatically excluded in the rules I'm afraid - remember the bit about family, associates, employees of yada, yada?

 

[EC1]

I would happily watch it ....yes

Would rather he sawed his own head off with a rusty hacksaw but will settle for a bullet i suppose

even though I can take Chapman or leave him...I quite like him knowing he brings out this sort of emotion in Clive

What do we win ?!

A copy of your calendar, perhaps?

 

[uncle goober]

Ah, that reminds me!

 

[Shadow Leader]

So it should - January's nearly over now!!!

Banksy's promised me one of his calendars too.....

If I wasn't on my best behavior, I would insert the now obligatory Rorydelargey gag here.

Thurles off tommorrow BTW - pity looked a good card.

 

[Guest_]

Rescheduled for Tuesday.

 

[Ardross]

I note that Sam Thomas did not ride the Barber/Findlay owned Big Fella Thanks at Donny , the ride on which was entrusted to his predecessor as Ditcheat No2 Christian Williams whilst Thomas rode a Venetia outsider . It doesn't look good for him especially with Nicholls being rather tactless about his ride on Big Bucks in the hennessy after the horse won the Cleeve >

 

[Katharine]

I was wondering about the jockey booking for Big Fella Thanks, too. Further food for thought after Ruby was the one who partnered Denman in his schooling a couple of weeks ago.

Paul Barber naturally wouldn't be drawn on Gold Cup riding arrangements on ATR last week.

I haven't been impressed with the way Nicholls continues to have a dig at Thomas through the media. He did it after Kauto won the King George, too. Either support him or part ways. This lingering resentment is poor form.

 

[Melendez]

Objection, your honour, relevance?

As said meeting also took place at Kempton Park, this evidence is wholly relelvant and therefore admissable in this thread, your honour.

Ardross is more than capable of thinking up his own defence!

 

[Katharine]

And there rests my defence.

But if it pleases you, my mistake, you honour

 

[Melendez]

If it pleases the court, I was referring to the esteemed gentleman with the moniker "Ardross".

 

[Shadow Leader]

Maybe it's because Christian Williams was riding a good race on Big Fella Thanks until he fell off it at Christmas time - he'd seemed to have gotten him running well for him and was getting a tune out of him.

 

[Ardross]

Heard booked to ride Nictory Vote at Taunton although Sam was there - non runner but still not a good sign for Thomas surely
