SCARBOROUGH.

Are there ANY tourist attractions in Scarborough?

Watching the odd Scotsman sunbathing in order to turn white

To be fair zilly i dont know how you anglais manage to get such a good tan whilst wearing a burkha.

Hee hee - good morning Zilzal. How are you today? Have you got NUFFIN to say about German-bred racehorses?

Good morning Flushgordon - it is BALTIC where I am in Glasgow.

Flush, get it rite m8 its a Hijab, essential for a prophunter these days to avoid detection or knockbacks......

VELA i am PHUMING.. i have a thing about German stayers but was so exhausted by studying the Breeders Cup(a measly £25 prophet for all the work ffs)that i didnt even look at the race

It must be the better beer that gives them the stamina imo...

Karakontie was leaping out at me, shouting, "Back me, Vel!" but I only had a saver because of the draw.

Dont mention that race, had a FROG RFC, sadly it was a VELA/ANODIN one only Six Perfections and Goldikova have won from that wide out over the turf 8f there.. should have really stuck him in a com...but hey ho...

I bet Obviously and Tom's Tribute - it didn't do Toronado any favours trying to keep up with Obviously...thought I was on the winner turning for home...then WTF??

Hughes knackered both their chances by leading him early, once you saw the 1st split of 21 odd then the writing was on the wall as they were not seemingly trying to ease the pace. Dont know what it is with trainers over here, only 1994 Barathea, trained by Luca, has a uk trained oss won the mile, yet the Frenh excel at it.

Maybe its the french pattern where a lot of them are rested during July/August and therefore geared towards the Autumn, mind you the Hannon one wasnt overraced this year either..just bad tactics imo

If Hughes had done his usual dawdling at the back, he might have got a lot closer...just thinking...I once did a painting of a BC Mile...might have been Last Tycoon, Palace Music...sold it and bought an old Renault van.

Last Tycoon was in that July Cup when boxed in on the rail in a 6 runner event behind Green Desert.

What exotic places did the Van visit...or did it just make Maryhill?? 

Painted it Aztec Blue with gloss...made it to Falkirk a few times. That's about as far as I wanted to go. Falkirk is very exotic this time of year.

Yeah, Andy Murray goes there with Kim Sears, after the tennis season finishes...they play tennis in the street, without a net.

Havent visited Scotland for 24 years, last being the 90 Skol Cup final when Gough,Walters and Elliot were the scorers.

Mind you im a rite wuss with the cold these days must be the years i spent living on Crete, thinned the blood and all that

You haven't missed anything Zilzal...any Irene Papas lookalikes out there...?

Sadly the village i lived the the Prerequisite was at least 16 stone for anyone over 30 The summer Scandos were good though

The only thing i do these days 5 times a night is go to the Karsie

Looks like an ideal Greek or Italian beauty. I've got a print of this on me wall, next to a painting of the mighty Galileo at Ascot.

Cut back on the figs n Guinness.

Figs!!!!

Into more sedate things  https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152609056814667&set=ms.c.eJxdzssNw...

Starin' at the tranquil sea, ponderin' over the meaning of life...I can only see the trees...the trees...the dark forest pines...

Anyway throwing a couple of darts at the Nov hcap... Plutocracy has been quietly backed this week after a easy on the AW, Smullen booked(only mount) and a light season @16s and Treasure the Ridge, Brock back on and will like the stronger gallop@33s

FFs - I thought the flat season was over!

Will have a look and post my pick...haven't backed the winner since Abu Kadra. Was working in a van, doing deliveries - had £5 EW that day.

You know what...? Fooook it - I am going ape sh1t crazy in this race...since we've had a GREEK theme on this here Scarborough thread...and I ain't even had me breakfast yet...

Was the sea cold then....

EURYSTHEUS sprint bred - it it liable to be very soft?

OK, Cap'n Zilzal - I am doing a PROPER mug's bet in this race - hopefully they will all run.

Eurystheus / Rhombus / Plutocracy / Odeon...all GREEK names!

Exactas, tricasts, the lot!

Itsallgreektome!

Yeah, baby - yeah!!

Have I missed anything? What?? What?? Are there OTHER Greeks in the field? The TREES, the TREES!!

Scarbroughs in Yorkshire, the Sea, surely there must be another eight horses you can find ffs...

What? Don't you see it, man? Forget about ruddy Scarborough!

Can't wait for Saturday now...

There's a lot of treasure in Greece ffs...until the Euro...

Right - I'm away fur ma porridge noo, Zilzal. Good afternoon.

Shouldn't have posted those selections - the prices will collapse...

Very interesting insight into Scarborough that !!

So...does no-one remember the Hispaniola?

Cap'n Zilzal I have decided to abandon the Greek strategy...and...

Yep, bailed out of Plutocracy...

1 Point Treasure The Ridge 40s, 1 Point Dashing Star 16s

1.5 Points Aetna 10s

1/4 Point rfc  Athlectic/Levitate

Go lads....

One Pekan and Open Eagle for me...I have abandoned Greece and went for an OO bet instead...OO, that would be an -OO- nice forecast...that was a funny race a few weeks ago when Latenightrequest beat Open Eagle...the owners went mental ...Latenightrequest was the outsider of the field on here when I logged-in, but it was backed...Open Eagle is carrying 3lbs less than he did last year, when he finished third...have also backed Shouranour in the apprentice handicap...far far too many J. Doyles in racing...

If my ship comes in today I will to OOff to ScarbOOrOOugh before you can say "HISPANIOLA!"

I just want you to know, though, Cap'n Zilzal...

If that Greek tricast comes in, you will be hearing from

my solicitors...

And anyway, you will be hearing from my solicitors ANYWAY because

of the big mad LINKY link you posted which has proved to be the

ruination of this thread...goodbye!!

The last time i heard from your solicitors was to say that you were safely in an institution

I suppose I could do the tricast for 10p units just in case...

this was all YOUR FAULT because of PLUTOCRACY, y'know...

DESPICABLE!

P.S. My trusty Solicitors operate out of their base on the

Hispaniola this time of year - the trusty duo of

Chatzigiovannis & Triantafyllopoulos.

Goodbye!

I suppose I could do the tricast for 10p units just in case...


Steady on Tiger, ya dinna wanta spend the buckfast munny.....

Or, as they say in Athens...

ADIO! ...which is not to be confused with...

AUDIO!

I went to Scarborough once.

I had a herb stall flogging parsley, sage rosemary AND thyme.

I gave up after three hours as my plarkotex/cambric shirt was itching like mad, so I went home.

Well, if I raid the TV license money in the Celtic FC loose

change jar, it might effect the Trifecta divi so I've settled

on the humble Tricast instead.

Αντίο του σας μεθυσμένος παλιά σκωτσέζικα git

I can't read chinese, that's lost on me.

Tricast...Trifecta...they sound very GREEK to me...

I am shocked to find no silver in the jar -

only copper...

And there are rumours of arsenic in the rice crispies.

Will have to set off now...the bookies is an hour away on the bike...

Don't have an Internet connection so I'll have to leave now...

Adio!

"The Trivial Twins"

These owners want watching after what happened a couple of weeks ago with Latenightrequest.
