fsharpminor, would you mind if I use this thread to try and memorise bits of useful info....


Like...

Attacca (aht-'tahk-kah) - go straight on, indicating an immediate move to the next section of music



Thank you! (but let me know if you don't want me to clutter it up!)

I dont think we need to put meanings of musical terms within the thread.

I am rarely 'on line' at the weekend, if anyone wants to do Musical Horses on Saturday (with Friday results) or Sunday (with Sat results) please feel free to do so. I will continue to do it most weekdays, there may be odd days missing if I am travelling on business.

I get a bit carried away with it sometimes, don't I!

Yesterdays results:-

ATTACCA was third at 6-1 this was the only musical horse placed.

Those with proper names did well. STEVIE THUNDER won as did SUZI'S DECISION. Others placed were SUZI SPENDS, LORD THEO, ROSIE'S GLORY, and TOM PARIS
