Didn’t see you on portrait artist of the year Dela. Or did I. Were you the 27 yr old blonde in the flowery dress and tongue stud?

According to TurfTrax, when comparing French going descriptions to English you should mark up their description by one.
So if they say soft it is good to soft in our thinking. |

Have a free bet on the race,just back celandine in the 3.00ascot tomoz,then you can play up your winnings. Would the soft ground be a concern? |

I don’t paint portraits though I know an excellent portrait artist who is blonde and I’ve been encouraging her to enter the BP Portraits award held at the National Portrait Gallery.
My artistic view is, “Why paint portraits when there are cameras with which we can easily take portraits with?” |

By:
Oh I also know of another through a friend who also won said prize, saw a recent painting of his for sale @ £30,000
Not my cup of cha but not a lot of art is |

I paint fast by the way and can knock one out in the blink of an eye ;) as the 27 year old blonde who visited my studio witnessed when I drew as as she spun around looking at my work in awe, only to return to point 0 and see herself on once blank canvas!
It blew her mind and in turn she blew mine  |

I’m not sure of the ground today or how much rain was received and recorded in France?
Rained all night here and heavy, we’ll soon see not long until the Cadran. |

Jockey Cristian Demuro, who has twice captured the G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe aboard Sottsass (2020) and Ace Impact (2023), will seek a third victory in the race with Leffard, winner of the Grand Prix de Paris on good ground.
However, the colt disappointed last time out in the Prix Niel, finishing sixth as the favourite. Asked if the softer going played a role, Demuro dismissed the idea, "No, the ground had nothing to do with it. He was still coming forward in his condition," he explained, citing fitness as the main factor. Looking ahead to Sunday, he remained cautious, "If everything falls into place like it did in the Grand Prix de Paris, then he can run well." Assessing the opposition, Demuro added, "There are many talented horses. I think Aventure is very strong." |

Dela, you come across, through someOf your posts, as a cross between Francis Bacon and Quentin Crisp. You do make me laugh sometimes, I hope all’s well ?? |
|
By:
Cheers all good and hopefully for you too! Some nice prices about today ;)
Be lucky! |

A decent attempt Poncho, but I would say more of cross between Walter Mitty and Enid Blyton.
Repeating the same storys with plenty of copy and paste thrown in. Posting 24/7 cannot be healthy. Btw, has he put a selection up yet ? |

A conversation with himself.. If you read it as such and it might be best to do with the numpty’s on here! |

No update on the Lazy post as of yet, as Adelle talks about what gave her a good feel on the opening show!
Très souple - Very Soft 3.8 @ 09:30 |

An utterly certifiable fantasist who would empty the Emirates Stadium with the Gunners at home within an hour and belongs in a Secure Unit.

Shot himself in the foot with his going interpretation, tres souple 3.8 equates to soft not very soft!!

He desperately craves the attention of others.
I don't know about Odd Job,it's more likely to be **** |

By:
Ye are very harsh/cruel, he’s alright, different type of poster
I’d imagine having a pint with him, would be interesting, at the very Least |
|
By:
You got it irons, named after his employment!! Strange how all my posts were deleted after posing the question.
|
|
By:
Cheers Poncho the irony of the remarks made is laughable!
“Craves attention!” Was hilarious to see I was still being talked about after my departure! Is it infatuation or jealousy of my depth of equine knowledge? I don’t care! |
|
By:
You know Poncho I’m all about having a laugh and despite the critique all stories are actually true! ;)

Cheers and if we don’t laugh we’d cry! Work is hard enough without being miserable whilst there, ain’t it!

You are fond of calling people out for not having an opinion. I presume it's different for people whose only contribution to the thread is to defend you and repeat an idiotic post that has nothing to do with the Arc from two weeks ago. Double standards?

At least some are having a laugh!
 Eating my cereals I just saw an Actress Indria Varma in the add for Coldwater on ITVx she was walking around the Bad Girls set that I did. Not in the show but being shown around. It was the biggest freestanding set in Europe at the time built to the exact scale of Reading Women’s prison, film in Bow Studios. As I was sloshing it on a door frame in light green she walked by and said, “ That colour would look good in my bedroom!”  …. and there you go more Gold dug from the archives! |

At least I’ve discussed the race you short tempered so so and so!
 |
|
By:
Wasn’t it I who read info Fabre’s confidence before the prix Niel whilst you had written off Caulificar before the race had been run?
It’s all there on the AP thread! ;) |

By:
*written off in a fit of rage because he admitted to running the colt over weight at Deauville!

Oh dear DD, So you have been reading my replies to you ?
On races? Asking for a pre race read, as you post in depth Pre race reads? Yet you have not responded to any of my questions? Now I appear to have upset you, but trying to equate my questions To you, and my trying to defend or understand the abuse delahay gets And how deals with it, as double standards is not quite right, is it ?? Yet you have finally decided to reply on this thread ?? Im not quite sure I posted anything negative or derogatory about You at all DD?? |

Secure Units have many inmates who truly believe that they are the son of God and that is why they are in there,Delbert.
You spot awaits you |

Some man for one man, gone from toshing paint on obscure tv sets to advising professional portrait painters all in the click of a mouse.

Strangely enough after Honcho had a light hearted dig about Delbert and the Portrait Artist of the Year last night,by the time morning arrived Delbert knew the winner

For some people, the torture and humiliation of

If you dish it out you get it back poncho,it really is as simple as that.
