I have written in today's papers, "Strydom said that he would not like to make a call, having ridden both, on which protagonist for leading three-year-old male in the country was better, Act Of War or the Paul Lafferty-trained Harry’s Son. However, he said, “In Cape Town I would choose Act Of War as he has the course experience.” The pair might clash for the first time in the Gr 1 Grand Parade Cape Guineas. You happy.

The last time you told me that I asked the jock and he didn't appear to know who you were. You also shouldn't confuse quoting somebody's opinion with it being my opinion which you never fail to do.

I'm sure you can find a lot of faults in a few years worth of articles as nobody is perfect but you are now way off the subject ... North Korea you will have to remind me cos I only recall writing about South Korea.
