"And still they gazed and still the wonder grew. That one small head could carry all he knew.
And that small head knew that Impaire Et Passe would win the Champion Hurdle."
You fecker...
It would have been more believable had it been 2 days after the TTF entries went in. Something major always seems to happen that week.
my tummy just turned

Don't be so gloomy. After all it's not that awful. Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock. So long Holly. _ Harry Limes
Hasnt Gleeson got his own TV programme. Well he did.

In times past, Ardross would have edited the title of this thread, AC!! After all, no-one really thought that when I posted about Rooster Booster's demise I'd have entitled it "much loved equine hero dies" did they?
Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess.
False face must hide what the false heart doth know.
How are things going with my old nemesis Dom? Is the new site ticking over OK?

Well, we were honoured by the great man's presence on here for almost all of yesterday afternoon, so 'ticking over' is probably about right!Originally posted by an capall@Oct 8 2007, 02:30 PM

Much loved equine hero!!!! Oh that was undoubtedly his finest moment, absolutely priceless.
It was, although I'd have preferred if it hadn't been engineered to make it look like I actually opened a thread titled as such!

You tease you...had me going.
My top 5 worst headlines....
1) Georidieland wins race at last (free money laying him at Ponty today)
2) Jamie Spencer regains jockeys' title (have backed Seb to win fortunes)
3) Pope denounces in-running betting
4) Facial hair banned at all racecourses
5) Derek Thompson voted "commentator of the year" ("and there's three in line jumping the last" - no Derek, the favourite is four lengths in front and going further clear)
