Sorry - very slow on the reply here!! Only a few months behind. (I might have replied before but can't remember it!)

My horse isn't a racer - she's an eventer but can certainly move when she wants too!! We could try racing her

And she's mainly a warmblood, but with some TB and Morgan in her.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL FORUMITES

Affrettando runs tomorrow, Friday 27th, at Lingfield. John Egan rides as Eddie Ahern is sitting out a long suspension.
The competition is hotter this time and after his victory the handicapper has raised him in the weights but fingers crossed................

How did AFFRETANDO do on Friday ?? Perhaps Enharmonic can tell us.

Todays runners as follows. To save a bit of time from now on, I am only going to include horses with predicted odds of 10-1 or better, but I will put them in order with the best chance first:-


PERCUSSIONIST (Ayr 3.15) 4-1
RIDGEWAY JAZZ (Wolverhampton 3.55) 5-1
FAR SONG (Kempton 6.50) 10-1

For Phil Dixon and any other Phils we have again THE POWER OF PHIL (Kempton 6.20) 7-1
I imagine Phil could also mean Philharmonic, so could also be called a Musical Horse.

Not too great, I'm afraid. He had a terrible draw and the jockey said he realised early on it was hopeless - he's have had to have sprouted wings to get round the outside. Anyway, he came out of the race fine but all the horses in the yard have just had their flu jabs so they'll all have an easy time now for the next couple of weeks.
I'll keep the forum posted about his next outing.

PERCUSSIONIST was second at 10-3 and RIDGEWAY JAZZ was third at 9-2.


Later - the two evening performers were unplaced

Todays runners:-

MUSIC BOX EXPRESS (Wolverhampton 6.50) 4-1
BANJO BANDIT (Lingfield 1.05) 7-2
RUSSIAN SYMPHONY (Lingfield 2.45) 10-1


Later edit- BANJO BANDIT won at 13-2 RUSSIAN SYMPHONY was unplaced

Today all I can find are:-

MARIAVERDI (Southwell 1.40) 8-1 No idea who that was, but sounds musical !
WIND INSTRUMENT (Lingfield 2.20) 10-1

For all Katys/Katies inc KatyJay we have KATIE KINGFISHER (Southwell 12.40) 7-1

WIND INSTRUMENT was second at 9-2. Other two failed.
an old friend MUSICAL SCRIPT was third at 7-1, though I didnt list it as it was expected to be longer odds than 10-1

Todays runners (best chances first):- Outsiders omitted

FIDDLING AGAIN (Taunton 2.40) 5-2
FIGARO FLYER (Southwell 1.20) 5-2
DON PASQUALE (Southwell 3.50) 5-1
MUSIC BOX EXPRESS (Southwell 12.50) 6-1

If anyone wants to do it............. (even on just some days) ??????

Thank you fsharpminor for doing this thread so brilliantly. I'll do it whenever I can, but my knowledge of technical terms is way below yours, so I might miss a few.

Sorry I meant to put 'until you return on Jan 25th. Have a great time by the way.

Thanks for message Enharmonic !

Thats me finished on the horses for a couple of weeks !

I noticed NORTHERN MUSIC won a race yesterday at Perak (Malaysia), but in todays runners in the 'Straits Times' there didnt seem to be any obviously musical malaysian horses !

Musical horses running today:

[u]Wolverhampton:

Cherished Song
Pop Music

Southwell

Music Box Express

Across the water at Thurles:

Amy's Song
Rock On Chicago
Steel Band


Sorry, the lay out isn't very good - not like yours, Fsharpminor, but I haven't got the hang of changing font size, underlining etc!

Musical horses running today:

KEMPTON:

Perfect Practice 7.50 pm
Russian Symphony 8 pm
Sir Haydn 9.20 pm


WOLVERHAMPTON:

There's also a horse running at Wolverhampton called Doubtful Sound - don't know whether that qualifies!

Yesterday, Music Box Express did the best of the musical horses coming 3rd.

Ooh Cyrilla loves Tuning Fork !!

Excessive rain has caused the abandonment of Haydock and Wincanton, but so far Ascot are still racing and both the all-weather tracks.

So just the one musical horse today, and that's PICCOLO PRIDE in the 12.45 at Lingfield.

You're doing a good job enharmonic ! When's Affretando running again ?

ORIENTAL MUSICAL HORSES

Running in Singapore today ORCHESTRAMANUVER (16.20)
STRADIVARIOUS (18.00)

Note those are correct spellings !

Running in Hong Kong SUPERMUSIC (1.00)
COUNTRY MUSIC (3.00)
OPERA MAGIC (3.30)
SINGING DINERS (5.45)

Hope to get the Hong Kong results as I shall be there tomorrow

Thank you fhsarpminor!
Affredtando is having a rest for a few weeks before getting ready for the 'official' flat season which starts in March. Most horses need a lay off from time to time, then they come back refreshed and ready for action.


Today only Wolverhampton remains as Towcester and Market Rasen have fallen victim to the rain, and despite a careful perusal I could see nothing remotely musical.
Yesterday Piccolo Prince could only muster a 5th place.

Good morning everyone.

Today's horses:

KEMPTON
Angel Voices 3.20


WOLVERHAMPTON
Circus Polka 2.30
Pianoforte 2.30

Any updates of Piccolo Pride?

On Friday evening MUSICAL SCRIPT was third at 9-2. HEY PRESTO was unplaced, but in the same race I had missed TUNING FORK which was second at 11-2.

There are no Musical Horses today, so I thought Id have some fun and string a few horses names together that form a story of sorts :-

NOTHINGLIKEADAME (so) SEDUCTIVE WITCH (please) GIMMESOMELOVING MONPETITAMOUR (but) DONTTELLSUE. (Now weve) GONE'NDUNNETT. (Got caught) INFLAGRENTEDILECTO

Maybe MON PETIT AMOUR should be MA PETITE AMOUR. The first four run at Lingfield, in that order. The last two at Southwell.

Anyway its the best I could do today!

(Sorry MM , not heard of PICCOLO PRIDE for a while.)
