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.
remember him winning the Schweppes..but I'm sure you do too
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?.

You could email whitwhitlaw of jockeypedia, he may be able to help, has all racecrds and newspapers going back at least 140 years
Thanks alices,i have found a horse bootlace born 1929/1930.All i need to do is check the form book via whit.
This has legs, pipedreamer. Let us know how you get on....
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!.
Sorry Pete, that one fell at 2nd Bechers. No.6 won the 2016 Nash.
Worst aftertiming thread ever.
Only ''The Ant'' i can find born 1837.

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.
