I am no way a horse racing fan, but the names they are given sometimes amuses me.
Most days there are one or two runners with musical names.
Looks like the one with the best chance today is Champagne Rossini in the 2.10 at Fakenham, if anyone likes a flutter. But I wont be responsible for any losses sustained. !
I wont be able to post runners on this thread every day, but may do so from time to time !

We should all chip in £50 and buy a stake in a racehorse. We could then give it a forum-inspired name and have forum days out at the races when it is running.

Ideas for a name anyone? How about Linley's Pride after the infamous Lorna? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Forums trip to Newmarket racing, now that would be a laugh. The July Course is friendlier than the Rowley Mile, and if we plan it right we could make sure there was transport back to Chez JoD for a party afterwards.

Today we have MUSICAL BEAT running in the 4.20 at Goodwood. Doesnt look as though it has much chance though it did win its race before last.

One of my friends asks me to name her horses on odd occasions. The last one that used to be called "Baby" is nowregistered as "Babbino Caro". Don't try to place a bet on it though as it is a show jumper!

Surely there has to be a horse called "Forums Cafe" somewhere? I so, I bet it runs like demi-semi-quavers with plenty of long breaths and not too much staccato jumping. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Hmmm....The temptation to run a ten-bob accumulator on fsharpminor's choice of nags is almost overwhelming.

But only almost.
