Is that a euphemism? My last encounter was with a lesbian who likes the ride after a few drinks. I'm confused with the terminology these days.

As long as you remember no means no you'll be alright.

Backed into 5/2 by the bastards on the machine beforehand so the layers get the maximum deduction. Filthy.

Ran good fractions from o/s draw at Kempton, but didn't last home.
Better draw & better jock today.
9/1 4pi B365

35p rule 4 now on all early bets. Some shit show and obvious the market has these NRs very early.
 
Don't worry they'll be spending most of the time in bar area so you boys can still pitch up with your crop tops and glitter on your face.........
 
I propose the motion that Ian Davies be banned from the forum. Wolverhampton is off and I'm after investing time and pouring emotion into that f$%^ing card. I feel like I've lost a monkey. I'm turning on the heating, f%*& everything.

Tbf, I was always fairly confident I'd be long odds-on to cop the blame for this.

Midlands January meeting called off due to the cold weather?

Obvious solution - stage the next one even closer to the Arctic Circle!

Gosforth Park beckons - and Walsworth plans to arrive disguised as a 21yo with that: "Did you know this is the home of the Fighting Fifth, the Eider and the Northumberland Plate?" chat-up line that never fails.

And after that it's Constitution Hill Night at Southwell!

It appears they've created a 40 grand race for him!

Walsworth is already preparing his "patter" for that: "He's a Champion Hurdler, that means he's very good at jumping hurdles. No, there aren't any hurdles tonight. He keeps falling at them lately. Yes, I know I said he's very good at jumping hurdles. He just hasn't been lately. Please don't walk away, rolling your eyes! I haven't told you about his Supreme win and the comparisons with Golden Cygnet yet!"
 
Inaugural winter outdoors party falls prey to winter weather (who knew it gets cold in January?).

The solution?

Stage the next one even closer to the Arctic Circle!

Yes, all roads lead to Gosforth Park on Friday and, while since 1977 the closest I've ever got to Newcastle was watching "Get Carter" on the telly, I'm sure a good night will be had by all.

Enthusiasm and excitement - entirely untempered by logic or intellect - remains mandatory on this thread.

We're not at home to Mr (or Ms) Sourpuss or Grumpyboots here!

Walsworth, still banking on his notion that the lady's father is arguably the last man in Britain who is in any position to complain about an age-gap relationship, plans to travel by Penny Farthing from Hertfordshire to the track with the express intention of speed dating, then proposing to, Megan Nicholls.

Never mind the actual racing, that's got to be worth tuning in for all on its own!
 
It's forecast to be two degrees celsius at Newcastle racecourse on Friday evening.

The 48-hour declarations are on Wednesday and by 11am that day excitement will have universally reached fever pitch here, and, if not, I'll want to know the reason why!

I’ve added Market House at 11/1, essentially dutching it with Aiming High.
He had wind surgery after pulling up over hurdles, then made an eye-catching comeback over 9f at Wolverhampton. He won very well off 5 lb lower at Brighton on his last run on the flat. Probably the most interesting runner in the race.

Runs in the 7.30 Wolverhampton.
