    Talking Horses - Cheltenham

    Good Morning,

    I wanted to know if members of the forum would be interested in a little game of Talking Horses, really it's to break the ice and bring down the level of ingenuity to a more simplistic game for all to play.

    The first poster is an interviewer who will ask a question for a certain horse and the poster below will have to be in that horses shoes and answer in a serious non biased fashion.

    Imagine we're all sat down at a press conference with our pens & pads with the horses sat on the desk in front of us - no more Trainers, Jockeys or Owners speaking because horses can speak for themselves now.


    For: Big Bucks

    Question: Hi there Big Bucks, it's good to see you in good health leading up to the Ladbrokes World Hurdle. You have captured the hearts and the imagination of the public in recent years become one of the top Staying Hurdlers of all time - do you believe from what you've seen or heard that anyone can realistically go toe to toe with you up the Cheltenham Hill and why do you switch off in your races?

    Thanks Bruce.

    EC1,

    The rules are simple - someone has to reply back as Big Bucks then they can post another question for the horses on the panel.

    Clivex,

    I have gone through some research into improving & stimulating online communities and one of the biggest factors of constructive involvement was easy entry, easy reading and easy exit.

    On one of my Psychology classes we have to sit in the middle of an experimental room that has on lookers marking our behaviors. The game is simple, you may have even seen it on your travels around the internet but basically someone states two options like red or blue then the person to the left replies back with an answer followed by two options of there own.

    Of course when we done the experiments it was far more challenging and subliminal in assessment that simple red or blue but I've tried to tweak it around Horse Racing so that this game should invite people in whereby we can assess some real opinions on horses and may actually help improve decision making on our betting over the festival or it could just be a fun way of helping others and maybe just a fun topic to post in.

    If we can take ourselves out of the picture and from any opinion we may hold on certain horses then put ourselves into the horses shoes then I think the forum as a whole can create extreme clarity & excellent debate.

    Of course it needs some proper constructive views to make it flow how I think it should.

    Neigh, I've looked

    I did find this though http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZpSg...eature=related

    Sounds very much like Sylvester Stallone. Found out it's Allan “Rocky” Lane, now there's a coincidence.

    Question For: Hurricane Fly

    Afternoon Hurricane, firstly how was your journey over the Irish sea?

    You and connections enjoyed a fantastic Cheltenham last year landing some old fashioned wagers from the voices of Ireland can you tell us how you felt approaching 4 out and if there was anything that worried you?


    Secondly how do you anticipate the race to unfold this year and are you confident of repeating your feat from 12 months ago?

    Do you remember when people said Denman was better than you? What do you say to those people now?
