This thread is beginning to take up too much time ! . I have 'managed' it for nearly 4 years now, but intend to stop on its fourth anniversary in early May. If anyone else would like to take it on, perhaps not every day (even I havent been able to manage that) , but those days when convenient, I will be happy for them to do so !

Well done and thank you for all your efforts, but yes, I know what you mean re. it taking up time...

As I mentioned a while back this thread is taking up too much of my time. So this is the last one !
The horses have been active now for 4 years on saturday and I've manged to post most days, except when on holiday or on business abroad. We have had over 85000 views at about 46 views per post.

There are seven race meetings tomorrow, so as farewell I am listing all the musical horses, but just by name, they are in approximate order of odds from the most favourite (11-10f) up to 33-1. I will of course post the results from these, probably late tomorrow evening.

SONG TO THE MOON, TO THE SPRING (thats a piano piece by Grieg), BOW RIVER ARCH, ROCKER, TROPICAL BEAT, MUSICAL BRIDGE, OPERATEUR, BYRD IN HAND, BOW TO NO ONE, KHATCHATURIAN, IVORY JAZZ, JOYFUL SOUND, ELITE SYNCOPATIONS.

Two forumites I spotted DAISY CLIPPER, AMETHYST DAWN, plus our recently retired MY LUCKY LIZ (and other Lizzes. there are a few)

I hope you have enjoyed this thread, and of course if anyone wants to take it on, or all chip in when we can, we could try to keep it going , if not everyday.

Well with all those runners, we had some feeble performances. Not a winner in sight.
A second from SONG TO THE MOON, but should have won at 2- 7 on fav.
Third places from BOW RIVER ARCH and TROPICAL BEAT.

So thats it from me with the Musical Horses. Good Night.

Thanks F sharp minor - it's been fun !

Aww....so sorry you're stopping this, f#m - for some reason I've always found this thread cheering and comforting. I DO think you should have a special sticker for four years of dedicated service to this thread...

Huge thanks.

Ah well... was pleased to see a Daisy in the last of your races even if she didn't come anywhere.

Thanks for keeping the thread going for so long, f#m!

Can we make one?

Many thanks, f#m, it's been fab

It looks as though we have a horse with a good chance in the Derby next Saturday.

RECITAL is second favourite and quoted at 5-1 today.

Oooo!

You couldn't keep away, f#m!!

.. ........and in the 'Oaks' this afternoon at Epsom we have BLAISE CHORUS , and SIRENS SONG, but neither is fancied.

Nothing doing in either the Oaks or the Derby last weekend.

MAGGIE MEY is tipped to win the 3pm at Redcar today .

Huzzah!! Go Maggie!!

Never mind the race - I broke all records getting back here to teach at 3.30!

SHE WON AT 10-3

fame at last !

HUZZAH!!!!

GO MAGGIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MAGGIE MEY is running in the 3.30 at Pontefract today. Is tipped by Marlborough in the Daily Telegraph, even though not one of the favourites in the estimated betting

Oh dear MAGGIE MEY came 15th out of 17 runners !

Well its nearly 6 months since we had this thread, so I thought I might restart it, not in such a comprehensive fashion as I did at one time, but rather as an occasional thing, when time permits.
So today Ive picked out two musical horses which might have a chance today:-
As before I take no reponsibility for anyone losing money by following my suggestions. !

RADETSKY MARCH (Bangor 3.25)
SINFONICA (Kempton 5.35)

SINFONICA manged third.

Today WHISTLING SENATOR (Taunton 5.10) and HEARTSONG (Kempton 6.40)

HEARTSONG was second.

Today, LORD SINGER (Newbury 14.55) , HEY FIDDLE FIDDLE (WoLverhampton 18.55)

They came second and third on Friday. STill waiting for a winner.

Lets try with KINGS CHORISTER at Newcastle (3.50) today

Yet another second yesterday,
Today lets try with REBEL MELODY (Fontwell 3.30) , and CONDUCTING (Lingfield 3.40)

CONDUCTING was second, but we still have no winner.
Therw aren't any musical horses with any sort of a chance today, maybe tomorrow !

Lets try with two for tomorrow (Sat)

SONG SUNG BLUE (Sandown 14.40) and RHYTHM SEEKER (Chepstow 17.25)

I love this thread. I'm so glad that you started it again.

Thanks , of course I used to list nearly all musical runners as well as horse names related to forumites, but it was just taking up too much time.
When I retire from work at end of this month I lose my computer and iPhone so I will be on the forums far less frequently. Of course I won't have a computer on my desk all the time, so I may not be able to maintain this thread regularly.
