Any idea of the plans for this wonderhorse? I had him earmarked as the only danger to Binocular in the Champion Hurdle.
He was 4th in a Derby i'll have you know, oozes class.

The Washingmachine will be back to put his rivals in a spin, remember guys he was 4th in the Derby ffs. All doubters will be made to look very stupid.

Can't seem to find any prices for him, anyone help Confused

IRVING SUMMERING WELL
By Claudia Bellend, 8.09pm 14/09/10

Despite the Cheltenham Festival of 2011 still six months away, one horse sent a thunderous message yesterday and forced the bookies into cowardice.
Reports of Washington Irving, who's novice hurdling season oozed hyperbolic promise, came to surface yesterday as Howard Johnson let slip news that will have the Binocular camp already giving up and going chasing.
On a brisk northern morning, Washington Irving had his first workout since a highly credible tailed-off effort at Aintree through which Washington battled the agonies of that devastating ailment, Claudiawankmaterial. Lesser horses would have collapsed and died on the way to the start. So as Usain Bolt took a three-second head start this morning in a 2 furlong breeze, it was as stunning as it was impressive to see Washington Irving come hard on the steel alongside Bolt, before appearing to beckon a sarcastic hoof and seemingly cartwheel into the distance.
This emphatic workout has led bookmakers into clipping Washington Irving into 85/40 from 11/4, a price which is sure to still send stampedes of eagle-eyed punters to the shops.

quite possibly the most pathetic thread of all time.

so all you self pronounced "shrewdies" have all gone over to purple
like a bunch of benders in your spandex, sucking up to that puppy groomer academic rambler. my sugestion is you get like men and forget the reasons why you left and get out of his boudoir, post something useful, not cliquey, not childish, not self promoting,
not attention seeking boyish rubbish like this effing drivel.
clearly you dont have girlfriends or wives
and this is quite clear evidence of why.

jshw,

was not directing this at you jshw, THEY know who they are, besides you have not posted on here. i assume you dont like the term bender and it was meant as a term of endearment and not meant to offend anyone. if you go to purple  i think you will see
what i mean.  ps i found the " no contribution to cheltenham" line  quite funny, but i imagine you are seeing a lot of red right now- hope i did not offend you, if so, then i am very sorry.

Dear gart,

I am sorry for posting a thread that isn't deadly serious

I am sorry for posting on another forum with a select few of who used to be regulars on here, and who rarely post here now for various reasons. (Site sluggish, forum gash etc)

I am sorry for building a decent relationship on an internet forum with a few people who seem to know a lot about racing

I am sorry for not posting enough useful threads (I will keep my 40/1 Grand National winner type threads to myself in future)

I am sorry for starting a light-hearted thread that a few forumites on here seem to have found humourous

On that note I am sorry that you don't have any sort of a sense of humour

I am not sorry for being a sarcastic tw@t
