Hope you are well workrider and enjoying the Punchestown Festival!
You probably heard this one before. Wouldn't be surprised if I posted it earlier on this thread but War and Peace is shorter!Circa 1970 Scene Independent Betting shop. Guy walks in and asks bookie how to write a line out as he was new to gambling. Bookie shows him. Guy looks up at board. Picks a 25/1 shot and writes a bet out for £100 (small fortune back then) win. Race commentary begins. His horse not mentioned. Tears up his slip and walks out. Next day. Picks out 33/1 shot and sticks another £100 on. Again not mentioned in commentary. Tears up slip and exits. Following day he reappears. Picks a 50/1 shot and bets another £100. Not mentioned again. Tears up slip and exits. Next day back again. £100 on 66/1 shot. Again not mentioned in commentary. Tears up slip and about to leave when bookie asks him how he was enjoying his new hobby. "I'm really enjoying it but my horse never gets mentioned in commentary. If it doesn't get mentioned tomorrow, I'm chucking it", he replied. That night bookie is in pub for a pint. He meets an old friend and when asked how business is doing, he tells his friend the story about the mug punter betting no hopers but admits that he is worried that after tomorrow he will lose his daily goldmine. "Don't worry mate, I can help you", says his pal. "What do you mean, how can you help", replies bookie. "I'm working for Extel now and I do the commentaries relayed to the shops. Only one meeting on tomorrow and I will be there. Phone me on this number before the off and tell me horse he bets and I'll mention it in commentary near the end regardless how far behind it is. Nobody will be any the wiser", his friend explains. "Brilliant, absolutely brilliant", says the bookie grinning from ear to ear, "Here's £50 to yourself for the favour, you have saved the day my friend". Next day. Punter enters shop. Looks at board and sticks another £100 on a 100/1 shot called Happy Chappie. Bookie phones his pal and tells him the horse the mug has bet. Race goes off. 3m Chase. Horse never mentioned as they jump 3rd last. Punter looks bitterly disappointed. Then .... "They over 3rd last. Dragon Man by a length over Mighty Hurricane, with Red Maze a close third with ten lengths to Top Cat in fourth. Approaching 2nd last and now three in line with number 10 Happy Chappie making rapid headway into fourth". Punter gets excited, turns round to bookie and shouts, "Happy Chappie is coming"! Bookie, leaning on counter smoking a fat cigar, smiles and giving him the thumbs up replies, "Nice one mate, good luck"! ..... "Over the 2nd last, Dragon Man and Mighty Hurricane neck and neck. Red Maze dropping back but Happy Chappie continues to finish fast". Bookie takes a puff of cigar, smiles and gives the excited punter another thumbs up. .... "They have jumped the last. Dragon Man and Mighty Hurricane neck and neck but Happy Chappie finishing fast on the outside to join them. 100yds to go and Happy Chappie strikes the front by a length ........ AND I'M NOT F****** KIDDING"! |

Good on you workrider. Enjoy yourself while you can. How`s Punchestown been treating you? Hope you are skinning the bookies!
Two golfers on the 16th green which runs adjacent to the main road. First golfer is lining up a putt when he notices a funeral cartage passing. He immediately stops, stands up straight and takes off his cap and stands in silence as it passes. The second golfer feels obliged to do the same and does. When the cartage passes out of sight, the second golfer says, "That was very decent of you mate taking the time to do that". "It was the least I could do", replies the first golfer, "I`ve been married to her for forty years"! Cheers treetop. |

Trainer in paddock at Ascot where he is running a horse owned by Lord Rosebery. He takes a white pill out his pocket and gives it to the horse. Unknowing to the trainer, Lord Rosebery is approaching behind him and sees everything. Being a stalwart of the Jockey Club, Lord Rosebery is absolutely fuming and rightly so.
"What do you think you are doing giving my horse dope", he yells at the trainer. The startled trainer turns around. "No your Lordship, you have got it all wrong", he replies. "It`s just a peppermint, the old boy loves them". Fidgeting in his pocket, he then pulls out another two white pills. "Here you have one and I`ll have the other". Lord Rosebery shoves it in his mouth and begins to blush. "I`m very sorry. Please accept my sincere apologies". "No problem your Lordship, we all make mistakes", says the trainer. Lord Rosebery leaves for the grandstand and the trainer legs up the jockey and gives him his instructions. "Drop him in behind the leaders and approaching the 2f pole, pull him out and he`ll storm to the front ......... and don`t worry if anything passes you, it`ll either be me or Lord Rosebery"! |

A man called Simon goes on "Stars in Their Eyes" and Matthew Kelly notices he's in a wheelchair.
Matthew asks, "What happened?" "I was in a car crash with my uncle. He died and I had to have my legs amputated. But they saved my uncle's legs and grafted them onto me. In six months' time I will be able to walk again" "That's amazing!" says Matthew. "Who are you going to be for us tonight then?" "Tonight Matthew, I'm going to be.......Simon and half uncle!" |

The wife was getting dressed up for a night out with her mates, walked into the lounge and asked me to rate her.
"8 or 9 at least." I said. "Out of 10?" she smiled... "Thanks, Babe, I'm flattered." Didn't have the heart to tell her I meant pints. |

Riding the favourite at Cheltenham, the jockey is well ahead of the field. Suddenly he's hit on the head by a turkey and a string of sausages. He manages to keep control of his mount and pulls back into the lead, only to be struck by a box of Christmas crackers and a dozen mince pies as he goes over the last fence. With great skill he manages to steer the horse to the front of the field once more when, on the run in, he’s struck on the head by a bottle of sherry and a Christmas pudding and he only finishes second. He immediately goes to the stewards to complain that he has been seriously hampered.

What's the difference between praying in church and at the racetrack?
At the racetrack you really mean it! A horse walked up to the Tote betting window and plopped his money down. "I want to bet fifty pounds on myself to win the fifth race", said the horse. "I don't believe it!" said the astonished clerk. "You don't believe what?", said the horse, "That I can talk?" "No", replied the clerk, "You don't stand a chance of winning the fifth race. |
