Absolutely daft to find offense in a little joke. Very obvious it's because Mick saw it as a slight against the Irish. Like I said before, he has small person syndrome.

As usual you creep around looking for my posts to find something to have a go at as is your bigoted view. The stalking would be a compliment if I was gay, but unfortunately for you I'm not. I'm James Garner to your John Inman.

I don't think I have interacted with you Mick since the Aintree festival. If you post nonsense, I will pick you up on it. However I told you before, if you only want responses that agree with you on a forum, specify it up front when you make your points. Then I will leave you to your own devices.

Nonsense. You clearly have a grudge and continually stalk. It's clear my postcwas aimed at Chapman but you chose to see otherwise as it suited your agenda.

Let's say I have a flair for spotting patterns, Mick. And I decided to call out a pattern I observed in your postings. I actually think you are a good egg deep down, and I could easily enjoy a pint with you if I went back home. If I had no time for you, I wouldn't bother engaging with you at all.

Modern breeding has tended to concentrate on horses that have speed at the expense of stamina . todays Oaks a prime example where clearly half the field looked incapable of staying more than one and a quarter miles( as evidenced by the run of the race). The Irish Leger was opened to older horses because back then those in charge of the fixture list twigged that there were fewer and fewer horses being bred for stamina on the flat , and they wanted to preserve the race as a proper race instead of a consolation prize for the last "man"standing . The fact that no horse since Nijinsky has won the English Triple Crown is evidence re breeding trends.
Re the Irish Leger , before the older horse participation option change I made a comment to an Irish owner of a decent 3 year old that I thought he should run his horse in the Irish Leger . He dismissed the possibility summarily as he reckoned the horse would not get the trip on the evidence of its runs to date . Somehwere along the line he must have changed his mind , his horse won the Irish Leger later that year , albeit in a fairly non notable race . |

A finishing percentage of 111% indicates this was a steadily run affair.
So it is surprising to see the field spread out all over the Epsom straight. It looked a weak Oaks beforehand and it probably was. As pleasing that performance was on the eye, there is never an upside to supporting a sexy looking winner the next time. Everyone has seen that cosy win and she will be over bet next time as a result. |

The betting is the same in the Derby today 3 places with high street firms. shameful and you want interest?
6/1 each PB JB Maltese 10/1 14/1 CD BOB action A Egypt 22/1 80/1 and bigger the other 5. They have crunched the odds and were not getting 16/1 , 25/1, 33/1 and bigger like in the old days. 7 horse crammed in odds lower than 22/1 , don’t look good for the Derby and they are going low expecting a turn over trying to keep those onside. |
