The Horse racing thread

[Hardy]

That's a strange one all right Bud. I'd have hoped the reason for putting the stable jockey up was that he was the pick of the stable. I'll steer clear, as you suggest - and we'll say nothing if it comes in at 10/1.

Anything for Ballinrobe this evening lads ?  I plan on headin down there later to make a few €uro's for next weeks siesta in the sun ..............

This betting really should be banded. It's encourageing young people to gamble and that's not what a GAA Board should be about!

thats why this is the non GAA discussion board

But it's ok for the football and Hurling betting thread to be on the GAA Board , cos its not really betting just a bit of craic.

The stable jockey has been demoted from Liefly now and one of Magniers lads is going on board. Says he is still sitting down in the stalls.  Did anyone ever see a horse sitting down?  I think now I will put a fiver each way on it although he is in among horses from top trainers.

There seems to be a lot of reasons why a person wouldn't back this horse, but seen as its up here i will put a  small e.w on it 4 the craic.   

The sitting down in the stalls is a worry though 

[Stranworst]

Who is this horse you's are all goping on about?

[Stranworst]

So is this liefly nailed on then or what?

[AZOffaly]

She's at 25s today on Bet365 Bud. Is she still sitting down with folded arms, or does she fancy a gallop?

"On behalf of myself and the jockey who was yawning getting off me in Punchestown I wish to apologise for my performance on that day.  I know some of you footballers will understand how it can all go wrong. Now I'm hearing about some upstart called Liefly trying to upstage me or something and who thinks themselves so important that like J Lo they want a chair to be located in the starting stalls so they can sit down waiting for the start." 

"My advice is keep yer money in yer pockets and don't have anything to do with this newcomer at all.  I am running  on this Saturday evening and I intend to give it the full lash.  There is only one thing, me father and him before him were plough men and in their custom I am fond of the soft ground, never have won a race on hard stuff and never will.  Looking out through the half door down here now it is raining so I'm going for a win on Saturday at about 33/1 to try and make up for my sins at Punchestown"

Anyone going down there on Sat fond of a pint can meet for one out of the winnings as I am fairly fond of the odd pint!

Liefly is said to be very keyed up in readiness for the 6:30 at Leopardstown. We sent a photographer
to Tyrrell's stable this morning.

Obviously decided the weather wasn't worth getting up out of the chair for. Oh well, only a tenner. And Bud did warn us....
