RACING TERMINOLOGY

"Done me Bollocks!" Self explanetary - LOL!

element, I believe a RIG is a male horse with only ONE testicle that has " dropped " i think the other one " is still inside" , but i stand to be corrected.

Lucky can give us the correct answer i'm sure.

Thanx Elvis

Welcome back from the seaside, Elvis; must say I thought you would know the term 'gin strike'; it is used when a horse is fitted with allumites after a run (or a couple of runs) wearing steel shoes. Same principle as 'blinkers strike'.

So I had it wrong: I thought Gin strike was first time with alumites and blinkers.

Rig!!!correct elvis i have a horse whith this problem and trust me its a big problem if you need to geld such a horse,he has to go on the table and most times they can't get the second ball out and its not cheap even if its unsuccessful

Interesting subject this "missing ball" story, maybe some of the CLAN might have the same problem, according to the Forum below, its rather common and Hitler only had one?
I personally lost a bollock jumping over a fence when I was nine years old, but as luck would have it, I was born with 3, so no great loss.

scotia [always on the ball].

Question:

If a man has only one testicle (the right one), can he have babies?

Sure but tell your lady that in order to have a child with only once testicle you have to have sex twice as much........


No, men cannot have babies regardless of the state of their testicles. They can, however, impregnate a woman.

Nope. Still needs a woman.


Yes, definitely.

In the 18th century there was a belief (totally fallacious) that boys came from the right testicle and girls from the left. A number of French aristocrats had the left testicle removed to increase the chance of a male heir. They still managed to reproduce, but getting as many daughters as sons.


Oh, yes, he'll have no trouble making babies. One functioning testicle is plenty enough to get the job done.

The reason is, each ejaculation produces 40 million to 600 million sperm, averaging about 250 million. There's only one egg (unless there are fraternal twins happening, or fertility treatment producing multiple eggs).

Statistically speaking, it is totally irrelevant if the proportions are 1:40 million, 1:600 million, or 1:250 million. It only takes ONE spermatazoa to fertilize one egg.

So the number of testicles (as long as there is at least one) really doesn't matter. Hope this helps!


Yes no problem at all. My cousin had a testicle removed as a baby.

He is the very proud Father of five beautiful fit and healthy children


Frankly, I've never seen a man have a baby except in that movie with Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger, no not "Twins", but "Junior".


Yes my son has this and he has been told having one will make no difference he can still produce a child.


I have only one and Yuppers got a kid .... Had the Lance Armstrong deal... Had the left removed... after it was removed I asked if they could put in a lotion dispenser instead of a prosthetic. They didn't think it was nearly as funny as I did......


Maestros do not wear pants

Well, at least someone had a good sense of humor!

I did read that they found a woman in Ireland with 5 legs and her nickers fit her like a glove.

thanks Frodo, I just needed confirmation. I actually thought it was alumites & blinkers together for the 1st time, NOT just allies only

they say you learn something everday !

This worries me about you

Power, I'm fully up to date with my trainers - in fact as we speak now, ALL 3 of them owe me money ( 2 in Joburg, 1 in Durbs )

ELVIS ....it was taken from scotia thread above under W.... also a racing term... no offence meant. Power
