After working with ACAS on job evaluation, the fundamental principle was "its got to feel fair".

There used to a bloke on here whose forum name was Down To Glasses. He got his name from a different kind of occasion.
Thats certainly a name from the past.
Was it not the nom de plume of one of the racing media personalities of the time ?
but cannot remeber for the life of me who it was
My own forum name comes from a long forgotten except by me progreesive folk rock band which was one of my favs back in the john peel night time show days and not the film of the same name btw

I chose mine as a way of applauding Paul Haigh for his decision to resign from the Racing Post.

For the record, I am not Paul Haigh, but I have exchanged emails with him from time to time and he has encouraged me to keep posting using his name.

Here's the story for anybody interested:

My ex missus informed me it would be 16/1 about me making the festival one year, l went she got binned and the rest is history.

I'm a great admirer  of his music. I am particularly fond of the soundtrack to the film "The Hours" which I find a calming influence after a hectic day's punting.

A couple of years back I was lucky enough to see him at the Hay Festival where he was interviewed and then played a piano recital. An impressive gentleman.

Must have been confident to win 10k in a seller, on a horse that made all and ran away from them! Makes you wonder how it managed to get beaten 10 lengths in race 5 days before when held up by a 7lb claimer, must have been pulling the poor lads arms out! Now who could have trained this inspired winner, and did you back it on its previous run?

And who was the jockey I wonder

Happened to be the CD I was listening to when I joined..

I found out a month a go that some horse was masquerading as me back in the 60s     

First horse i had a share in with the great Brian McMahon, actually was just a pony 14 hands high but did win 4 races, sellers of course. When i got married lost track of horse racing for about 10 years, so once free i was on the rise again!

You get to pick your name?

You didn't?

Was a travel agent and like Rick Nelson's music

Because when I started on here I was laying losers left right and centre.. That soon changed though so I'm generally a backer now.

You mean that the other way round don't you?

I used my imagination.

Brian

No i didnt back it the week before at Hereford, when it was never put into the race by the 7lb claimer, but finished well enough and looked like it was capable of better after a spell novice chasing and had the back form to win the Ludlow seller, which on paper was a very weak race and at 9/1 Mrs P was a big overlay. The jockey is now a well known trainer from Cropthorne, while Mrs P was trained by David Wintle who was a local legend. Just wish i had a video of the race, but it was well clear by halfway and as it had such an easy lead it won as it pleased.

My name is after the character in Shakespeare's King Lear

Tis a fib you speak of ,Dave 

where i was born

name and length,missed the mm off the numbers,save the ridicule

Failed Business Venture

1357 was the year the filthy english released King David of Scotland from captivity

Former chaser with Fred Winter

I wanted to name myself after the Simpsons character, who makes me laugh, but not being that smart I've spelt it wrong, and instead I'm named after officially the second best staying chaser ever (even though I think that's Desert Orchid)...

I am an angry milliner

which is preferable to being a poor sod who was dragged up by their grandfather and father watching some not very good professional football team from south Bedfordshire!

...and now can't kick the habit!!!

at least ya back in the Leagues ...

On a steamy June afternoon in Paris, Mandarin and Fred Winter made sporting history in the Grand Steeplechase de Paris. This race is run at Auteuil, in the Bois de Boulogne, around a four-mile figure-of-eight. There are 30 fences, among them "Le Bullfinch" (a nine-foot-high hedge) and "La Riviere", the huge water jump. Very few of the fences look familiar to English chasers and, two years earlier, Mandarin had thrown away a winning chance by trying to stop at the white-painted post and rails.

Winter had wasted hard during his summer holiday to do 9st 10lbs on Beaver II, which he was to ride in the big four-year-old hurdle race later that same day. He was also suffering from a severe stomach-upset, and he arrived at Heathrow Airport for the flight to Paris feeling, and looking, very ill.

When it came to the race itself, at only the fourth fence the rubber-covered snaffle broke in Mandarin's mouth, leaving Winter without either brakes or steering. Fulke Walwyn's wife, Cath, later recalled: "Fred had no proper means of steering him in the right direction. It was a miracle he went round with the others."

To their great credit, the French jockeys took no advantage of their English rival's plight; one even swung in on Mandarin on the first bend, using the pressure of his horse to steer Winter's mount around the turn. And only once, four fences from home, did Mandarin threaten to go the wrong side of a marker. It was almost certainly there, as Winter wrenched him back, throwing all his weight to one side like a racing cyclist, that Mandarin broke down, faltering in his action and losing some four lengths. As they turned for home, they bored through the Bullfinch, miraculously landing upright. They then held Lumino's challenge by a head.

As Mandarin hobbled back, lame, he and his rider were the heroes of Paris. Winter himself could scarcely walk to the scales, and his fellow jockey Stan Mellor had to help him change to go out to ride in the next race.

madhatter - do you remember John O'Rourke or was he before your time?

I was just testing

I took mine in tribute to the great legendary Che Van Der Wheil from Market Harborough,who produced the best ever method of horserace analysis.

The numerical picture(s),evaluation of the odds and insistence on the acquisition of temperament were a true racing masterclass.

A great Polish general.
