The Whippersnappers versus The Zimmerframers

Crikey this competition is threatening to take on an altogether different slant......:D Bloody sight more interesting than horse racing anyway.

Now then having discovered our secret weapon, we need you to befriend Irish Stamp please Trudi, and suffocate him in conversation and distract him to the point where he's rendered a quivering wreck. It's perfectly clear that no male seems to be able to engage you on facebook and survive in a coherent form the following morning

Come into my parlour.....................

And EC1 reprimanded the Whippers for taking this too seriously. Is that 8 selections in the one race?? EC1, I expect you to have words with your fellow Zimmer for unsporting behaviour:)
 
:o You werent supposed to spot that - I need all the help I can get !!
at least I didnt back all 9 of them... ;)

Im just hoping "lame of Gibraltar" isnt prophetic....

8 minutes to spare!!!

Not as bad as Jinny, who's been rolling under the portcullis by 2 minutes for the opening couple of days.

But the Whippersnappers policy of 'rotation' has seen Flame miss the break today, which added to Bar The Bull, and Simon, means that 25% of this unrelaible shower of lay abouts have now failed to show. What they need is a bit of national service to teach them a thing or two about discipline
