Rocketfingers is a cross between Billy Liar and the Bird ODonnell and is not to be taken seriously.
They will be producing a load of two year olds for Dundalk probably not much use but their only function is to win Joseph the jockeys championship. |

Conqueror of Set
Horus was told by his mother, Isis, to protect the people of Egypt from Set, the god of the desert, who had killed his father Osiris.[ Horus had many battles with Set, not only to avenge his father, but to choose the rightful ruler of Egypt. In these battles, Horus came to be associated with Lower Egypt (where Horus was worshipped), and became its patron. One scene stated how Horus was on the verge of killing Set; but his mother (and Set's sister), Isis, stopped him. Isis injured Horus, but eventually healed him. According to Papyrus Chester-Beatty I, Set is depicted as trying to prove his dominance by seducing Horus and then having intercourse with him. However, Horus places his hand between his thighs and catches Set's semen, then subsequently throws it in the river, so that he may not be said to have been inseminated by Set. Horus then deliberately spreads his own semen on some lettuce, which was Set's favorite food. After Set had eaten the lettuce, they went to the gods to try to settle the argument over the rule of Egypt. The gods first listened to Set's claim of dominance over Horus, and call his semen forth, but it answered from the river, invalidating his claim. Then, the gods listened to Horus' claim of having dominated Set, and call his semen forth, and it answered from inside Set.[19][20] However, Set still refused to relent, and the other gods were getting tired from over eighty years of fighting and challenges. Horus and Set challenged each other to a boat race, where they each raced in a boat made of stone. Horus and Set agreed, and the race started. But Horus had an edge: his boat was made of wood painted to resemble stone, rather than true stone. Set's boat, being made of heavy stone, sank, but Horus's did not. Horus then won the race, and Set stepped down and officially gave Horus the throne of Egypt.[18] But after the New Kingdom, Set still was considered Lord of the desert and its oases.[21] This myth, along with others, could be seen as an explanation of how the two kingdoms of Egypt (Upper and Lower) came to be united. Horus was seen as the God of Lower Egypt, and Set as the God of Upper Egypt. In this myth, the respective Upper and Lower deities have a fight, through which Horus is the victor. However, some of Horus (representing Lower Egypt) enters into Set (Upper Egypt) thus explaining why Lower Egypt is dominant over Upper Egypt. Set's regions were then considered to be of the desert. |

Anyway, chapeau workrider. A most learned reference, even if not quite relevant. I am suitably humbled by your superior knowledge of the Classics. Borneo will get great mileage out of this.

By:
No cheltenham,at 5 day he has over 1/2 the enteries for the Dewhurst and a 1/3 for the Middleham and more than likely is going to go winnerless,winds of change like a few are alluding to on here seems to be blowing over Ballydoyle.

While not the same obvious classic contenders there is serious depth in quality in the colt division, The fillys are terrible bunch.
The Ferryman Battle of Merengo Mars Kingsbarns Eye of the Storm Finn McCool Dei Sir Walter Scott The United States Theatre There is a serious bunch of unexposed potential classic winners, I would not fret if I was Coolmore, the breeding of the above are top notch, they are being handled very tamely, they know what they have got!!!. Forgive me but I will make a bold prediction that there is 3 Group 1 winners in there. |
