I had a very vivid dream, of a left-handed flat racecourse in the 1920/30's?.Hundeds of people in black bowlers,some in grey suits,no flat caps,talking in a yorkshire accent.One Bookie? reading out a list to the public of horses names,only one i remember was a horse called "The Ant".
Only other clue was that the favourite in the first race named Bootlace got beat.
It was a long flat level straight from the turn,could have been Doncaster?.Anybody know how i can search for the names of these horses and see if they were around at the same time ?, and if Bootlace was ever a beaten fav in any first race on a card ?.
I wouldnt normally bother much, but the dream was very vivid and detailed.Tho when you wake up you can only remember bits.

I thought you were just going to say "about David Pipe" there.

No it didnt happen in real life.It was a dream,or past life?.Anyway it wasn't Bootlaces trained by David Barons,4th to Sin Timon in the Cambridgeshire and foiled a gamble on Easterby's Within The Law in the Schweepe's [Bootlaces got first run on him,well clear of the others].
You know how it is,all the talk about past lives.It was certainly vivid enough to put this on here,Actually i did have a dream years ago where i was at Highbury football ground,but on top of an earth mound as high as a terraced house,4 earth mounds all the same height surrounding a square. I thought at the time how bizzare?,why would Highbury football ground be surrounded by huge earth mounds?.Years later i saw on the net pictures of Highbury being constructed years ago,in the picture surrounding the intended pitch were 4 huge mounds of earth,just as in my dream. I can't explain this,but anyway i thought it might be intriguing to investigate about the horses.Any help?. |

It would be more useful if you could dream about next year's Grand National.

Well Pete i used to pick the winner by number 3 months before the race,did it twice in the nineties,doubt if i could do it again these days.Oh to find the winner in the last possible place to look!.

Worst aftertiming thread ever.
Only ''The Ant'' i can find born 1837. |
|
By:
Yeah, one born 1837, one in 1983, one in 1995. I'm sure there would have been a few in between though.
Oddly, all three referenced are/were fillies. |

Well jockeypedia says no horse with name of bootlace ever ran under rules,suggested it may have been a flapping track?.Anyway i'll put this to bed now.
Pete,you could give it a go,if you had about 3 months solid.You can't dream it up you have to actually try. |
