Whipgate – Lerena & Gates Sanctioned
There are certain eligibility rules for selection to a jury. If you gamble you're not eligible to sit on a jury. Minimum education criteria also applies which will probably rule out most "everyday punters"

Whipgate – Lerena & Gates Sanctioned
Donald I have a question about "investing" If I go to the casino and I play the slot machines do I invest in slot machines? Then on the other hand if I import slot machines for resale or alternatively manufacture them locally for sale am I then also investing? My take; The one is an investor the other a gambler.
So when it comes to horse racing; Which one(s) are you (and

This race was barely G1 level - it's 3 weeks away from G1 flat season in the UK.
The Aussie sprinters, whose record at places like Royal Ascot speaks for itself also don't bother

Feel free gentlemen for your comments, my bank balance smiles at me daily, so criticize all you like. The problem with you old school thinking you think we don't have brains. Get that thought out of your head - the world is changing my friend, I am a 60 year old man in peak of my life. I am no run of the mill

Let me start with a van der Merwe joke as an opener. I'll have to make it very generic to protect the other party. Also you decided how much of this is satire/truth if at all;
I've shares in 2 horses that will be running very soon. So I speak to the conditioner of one of the horses with a view to determine whether the jockey he/she uses will be available to ride the other horse (with a different conditioner).
So he/she says to me; Do you want to do the trainer's job AGAIN? So I said no I'm just trying to help. So he/she says "Well don't!"
LOL

American-Breds Dominate World Cup Knockout
The Dubai carnival has been a USA & Japanese affair the last few years.
Pity I did'nt look up trainer Brad Cox's career record before the World Cup, pretty impressive and on a par with most of his American contemporaries - and the man is only 45.
Anyway, over coffee this morning I had a look at the racing scenario in North America - they have 460 races listed as G1 to G3.
That's about as much as we do here in a year with our races being affected by inclement weather and jockey strikes - just joking!
Here's to One Stripe's campaign in the USA - Romantic Warrior has shown that a good horse is a good horse, no matter where he was bred or trained.

Very funny Fred. Are you insuniating that you've spoken to some owners (other than the Andrews) about me or are you saying that Mr Witz is so well connected that HE should rather ask the questions about me?
You're all welcome to repeat the owners jokes about me as it might put a smile on my dial
