I have covid. Be careful not to touch the screen.
Well done to Gaz, Jake, Baciodilupo, and John987, harvesting those nice-priced winners yesterday. After a quiet autumn Jake is polishing that winner picking pen. If I've left anyone out, I apologise; please leave a message on this thread and I'll update.
I saw Robicheaux napped Rickety Gate yesterday and watched the race. Thought he'd benefit from a fence.
Edit
Ade sent me the attached pic of Northern Symphonie, who looks in superb shape. I remarked on this to Ade and he puts it all down to you syndicate members who have given him the time he needs. It looks very well worth it. It'll be great to see her next week.
Keep safe.
At the end of yesterday's Forum, Quai found frustration with the Guardian Moderators on a gardening topic.
Leaving aside you can post anything you like on the cookery section.
In all the years on Talking Horses I have only seen a single warranted straight red.
BarneyRubblesBubbles accused a Jockey whose name you will not be able to identify as a "Cheat" during a ride for D.SImcock.
I knew that post had to come down.
Otherwise it has just been Handbags at Dawn on that Forum yet matches had to be stopped because of insufficient players on the pitch due to RCs..
The first posters always got a RC as a warning on TH and maybe have arrived home from a night our a little worse for wear and haven't fully gathered their thoughts.
But those standards should apply to those who have come home early to post homicidal threats in the cookery section because the right amount of Tabasco Sauce wasn't recommended.
My nap today is Ronald Pump. e.w 13.40 at Clonmel. Sponsored by Clonmel Oil Service Station where I have indeed pumped some oil in to my car.
@elgransenor The moderation is often bizarre - that's if you get past the pre-moderation checks that often appear. You cant comment on many issues unless your opinion matches the BTL groupthink.
@david Noticed that quite a few articles in the Guard, where one would be interested to to read the thoughts of others are never open for comments..Moderators opting for an easy life.
@playlord Buondì Joe, get well soon, can’t believe that’s still around…
I’m using my phone to access now, working like a dream, thank you Joe…
This is a test post as I've now added a couple of paid plugins to ease the uploading of pictures and to allow embedding of videos that appear on other sites - YouTube for example, but it will also work with Vimeo and many more. You can attach multiple images.
Clicking on My Media, or Attach Files (below) will allow the pictures upload. For embedding video, just copy the URL or click the share button on YouTube and then 'copy link', then just paste it into your post.
If anyone needs a brief visual guide on how to embed, let me know.
Horn Cape, an alumnus of the Haslam Reform School (motto: No horse is too slow to win), wins cosily at Sedgefield. He was beaten 62 lengths last time (over 2 miles!) when he received a classic McLernon ride. Well done to all concerned. They'll be dancing in the streets of Monaco tonight.
