sick off work and watching horse racing

[butters]

i can still call 'em

unless they trip up. just watch the horses as they parade or get ready to run - they're athletes who can tell who're likely to best them and which have the best chance of winning, and their body language conveys it

steeplechase is better than flat, and uk racing more interesting to watch than usa style but each to their own. plus, i really love to watch horses; they're beautiful as they run

Feel better, chippers.

and that's from a field of about 15 and three fallers, including the horse that unseated its rider and still tripped up later on

Our Steeplechase season starts in about a week with the Hunt races. I've got no runners, but my hunter might do well in the pairs races.


Oh yeah - get well. forgot that bit pre-edit.

i think that'd happen to me too, though i can't afford to test the theory - plus my old man spent most my childhood in a betting shop so it's not a place i visit.

seems i can 'get it' so long as there's no pressure to distract me. i just call the 3 most confident animals who're saying 'yeah, i got this' calmly without all the pratting about some of them do.

what're the pairs races? is that a relay affair?

no worries, this wasn't really about that - just saying why i was home watching racing instead of out earning me crusts.

Yes, you can almost see some horses looking around thinking 'lets get this done so I can get back for a little wash off and hit the feed bag.'

You got me, before added the next.

He was in a race by himself.

indeed
and like most animals, they can tell how on-peak another is, or if they're at all off-colour, plus the whole dominance thing . . . of course, i suppose some of them have inflated egos

made a bit of a horse's arse of himself by the look of it

Back when I wagered on the ponies, there was a beauty at Belmont race track (NY) with a high opinion of himself. He and I lost every time he ran. I remember his name to this day: Bold Yep Yep.

That's not the part that looks like a horse.

He was a prankster, I would have laughed if I saw him trotting by.
