Our resident horsey person (in work) won.

We all watched, and were quite amused by the one horse that was refusing the jockey and then once the jockey was on said 'Oh yeah? Well I'm not going anywhere' when it started.

(I don't bet on stuff)

I went for the giggle horse.
The last time I was pregnant, I wanted to back a horse called Red Marauder, the colour and name of my mates bike.....and it won.


Well no guesses to what I backed this time....Irish Raptor.
Yippeee it was rather fast and doing well, until the rider realised he'd pulled the throttle too much and it threw him off into the 14th hedge!!!

I backed the winner and 3rd place.

Went to Ladies day yesterday with Nobbylass and won over £200.

She went on Thursday as well but won nowt.

Best year I've had on the Gee Gees for a long time.

Trust me, it's so hard to get a bet on, you'd probably save a fortune! Too many people these days, ends up being a right mess.

Clearly that has to be an omen of sorts, concerning exotic bike ownership.
Turn back, before it's too late!
