Scotia on a good racing vibe
14 years 6 months ago
Good morning all and hope you enjoyed the racing vibe last week, must say have not seen that much joviality at the tracks for a while, from the jockey test on the Friday night, the Indians 150 year celebration on the Sat and the test in Cape Town on the Sunday.
I feel a special well done is in order to all the organizers and sponsors helping promote SA racing and the visitors will go home with great memories of superb hospitality.
Some of the Hollywood team
On a sad note I was horrified to see on Sky news headline "young bride murdered in Cape Town" it actually made me feel sick to the stomach all the good the Country has to generate tourism can be set back with one mindless cruel act of violence.
senseless
We still have plenty good racing to come this month building up to the Summer Cup and plenty time to move up the tipsters log to get a grab of some fantastic prizes in the bookies comp
The highlight this weekend is the Green point at Kenilworth with Pocket Power (going for 20th win) and Bravura
Pocket Power going for a 3rd Green Point
Saturday sees the reappearance of last years Gold Cup winner Imperial Commander in the Grade1 Betfair Chase over 3miles at Haydock.We all seen the photo finish of last years race when the commander was pipped on the post by Kauto Star a result that is still being talked about today.
Well supported all week in the betting(1/1 into 8/11) the Gold Cup winner looks to have an opportunity to add this prize to his record.
I like the home page this morning, on that subject our homepage is not linked to the forum for a International stats, so if you go directly to the discussion forum it does not give the site credit.
So if not a hassle would appreciate you going via the home page.
However we have had another great month and the unique visitors stats keep growing
Yet again we have exceeded our bandwith and were looking forward to the bill (gulp)
Its an interesting racing week for me as I will have 3 runners in 5 days, that might not sound very spectacular, but when you only have shares in 3 horses its great. Miss Veneta ran yesterday "last" so we can only improve, Slumdog Oscar runs on Friday on a final written warning and Miss Diana on Sunday having the strongest chance.
Just a word to all you youngsters (under 55) out there getting old is not for sissies, you get more and more aches and pains, parts start falling off I have been on chronic pain medication for 10 years for the back and leg, sometimes just putting on a pair of normal shoes cant make life a bit depressing. If that's not bad enough I get hit with some virus the other day, wake up and feel like I have been beaten in my sleep? Mrs S is not normally violent and I had no bruises, I suppose she is like most wife's she only gets violent when she asks you "do these jeans look tight on my bum and please tell me the truth", as if tempting you to say yes, but to all you youngsters always say no.
The second day I start shaking uncontrollably probably a bit like the owners of Zenyatta did last week.
Third night fever and mind in a spin
Bottom line apart from the virus I have Diabetes, sure my fault but still feel shattered, in addition have to go to urologist, so a terrible week.
I have some puns for educated minds but I will share with the Clan anyway…..
1. The fattest knight at King Arthur's round table was Sir Cumference. He acquired his size from too much pi.
2. I thought I saw an eye doctor on an Alaskan island, but it turned out to be an optical Aleutian.
3. She was only a whiskey maker, but he loved her still.
4. A rubber band pistol was confiscated from algebra class, because it was a weapon of math disruption.
5. No matter how much you push the envelope, it'll still be stationery.
6. A dog gave birth to puppies near the road and was cited for littering.
7. A grenade thrown into a kitchen in France would result in Linoleum Blownapart.
8. Two silk worms had a race. They ended up in a tie.
9. A hole has been found in the nudist camp wall. The police are looking into it.
10. Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
11. Atheism is a non-prophet organization.
12. Two hats were hanging on a hat rack in the hallway. One hat said to the other: 'You stay here; I'll go on a head.'
13. I wondered why the baseball kept getting bigger. Then it hit me.
14. A sign on the lawn at a drug rehab centre said: 'Keep off the Grass.'
15. The midget fortune-teller who escaped from prison was a small medium at large.
16. The soldier who survived mustard gas and pepper spray is now a seasoned veteran.
17. A backward poet writes inverse.
18. In a democracy it's your vote that counts. In feudalism it's your count that votes.
19. When cannibals ate a missionary, they got a taste of religion.
20. If you jumped off the bridge in Paris, you'd be in Seine.
21. A vulture boards an air plane, carrying two dead raccoons. The stewardess looks at him and says, 'I'm sorry, sir, only one carrion allowed per passenger.'
22. Two fish swim into a concrete wall. One turns to the other and says 'Dam!'
23. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the craft. Unsurprisingly it sank, proving once again that you can't have your kayak and heat it too.
24. Two hydrogen atoms meet. One says, 'I've lost my electron.' The other says 'Are you sure?' The first replies, 'Yes, I'm positive.'
25. Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a root canal? His goal: transcend dental medication.
26. There was the person who sent ten puns to friends, with the hope that at least one of the puns would make them laugh. No pun in ten did
Good punting and may your God be with you
