PAUSE FOR THOUGHT

Time to tee up Cambridgeshire winner - but first a quick nap.
Pic: "Wolverhampton: the spirit of co-operation between the US and Iran
"MAN
cannot live on grapefruit alone, unless he's on the same diet as me, in which
case he can, just. It's a jolly good diet based, roughly on abandoning
everything you like and replacing it with long interludes of starvation
occasionally interrupted by a boiled egg and half a grapefruit. Two weeks later
you weigh less but have lost all affection for eggs and grapefruit.
"I
see that, while I was away on a golfing (and dieting) holiday, there was a bit
of a stink about the Inglenook Plate (Division 11) at Pune in India

"Punters
were in favour of enforcing Matthew chapter 20 verse 16- "The last shall be first and the first last "
- and expressing their dissatisfaction by going beserk and demanding their money
back. (See also The Ice Magic Plate (Division 1) at Mahalaxmi on February 17, when Ice Age, also trained by
Hormuz Antia, ridden by Martin Dwyer, was declared a non runner after also
bleeding, and also losing, when 6-4 favourite.) The stewards, possibly being
unfamiliar with the New Testament, rejected the demand.

"Meanwhile,
4,631 miles away, at Wolverhampton , controversy
surrounded the state of the recently refurbished Polytrack surface, which now
advertises itself, as well as the horses, as "standard to slow" . Dangerous Bloodhorse illiteracy at work again..
"In
the nursery, Roger Charlton's 7-2 favourite Sandy Cove finished seventh to
Marco Botti's More Aspen, at 11-2, and in the maiden fillies' race, Charlton's
9-4 favourite Pageant Belle finished fourth to Botti's Nova Princess, at 16-1.
Charlton condemned the kickback as "diabolical" but Fergus Cameron, the clerk of the course,
considered it to be "fine" .
It's a big gulf to bridge but if presidents Obama and Rouhani are willing to
give it a go with Iran
"I
don't know what Botti, who went on to score a 442-1 treble, though of the
kickback but he was probably more content than either Charlton or the punters,
who watched Monzino, at 25-1, win the getting-out stakes by a neck from the 5-4
favourite Exclusive Waters. Luckily, there weren't enough racegoers at Wolverhampton
to launch a riot. Dangerous Bloodhorse illiteracy at work again, and again, and again. Any and all blinding kick back is highly dangerous and totally unacceptable.
"GOLFING
is a bit like punting because every now and again you get two things right and
think you may not be completely hopeless after all, and briefly acquire
misplaced confidence in your ability to extend your successful sequence. In
golf this feeling is dispelled by the sight of your ball settling down behind a
tree; !!!! ( yes very funny I'm sure.) in punting, by the sight of your jockey easing down two furlongs out. Is it? Golf? My father a dentist played a lot of Golf with Gordon Smyth at Goodwood. But my father knew nothing about all the work skills that need to be achieved every day with a racehorse in training before he can ever compete in a race. Watching the Cambridgeshire unfold on Saturday at Newmarket with all 35 runners , it crossed my mind that very few people would ever realize what a lot of work it took to get those 35 horses prepared for that one race alone.
"You
should have used a seven iron (Ruler Of The World) instead of a nine iron (Libertarian)
although, if you had, you'd probably have sliced it. (if you'd backed Ruler Of
The World for the Derby
"I
know it's unseemly to brag but the fact is that, at the South Herefordshire Golf
Club, home to an incredible number of daddy long-legs and mushrooms. I won my
tournament by six shots, with the next best player 12 shots further adrift.
There weren't any players behind me.
Those big bags of golf clubs must be heavy to manoeuvre from Tee to Tee. Especially if you
are wasting and feeling fragile with no energy. AND knowing which one is best
to use to get your ball out of one of those bunkers? What happens if you hit
your ball and it lands high up in a trees branches?
"People
made a fuss of Phil Mickelson when he won this year's Open at Muirfield but he
won by only three shots, which was half as good. The South Herefordshire ,
like Muirfield, is 71 par course and I mastered it in 110. It's tempting to
have a lesson.
Golf is all about handicaps isn't it? Pa this, and pa that? Not as in Grandpa but as in Par? The Global Rules of the Sport of Golf, as of the Global Rules of the Sport of Tennis are undoubtedly the same globally, not like the Global Rules of the Sport of Horseracing which do not exist. That is strange is it not? How can Global Jockeys be punished for breaking the Rules of Global Horseracing when there are no Global Rules of Horseracing in the first place?
"But
I digress. As I told myself after taking 11 on the second, that's the past, now
to the future. Roughly translated, this means shut up about that 25-1 shot that
would have won you three grand if it hadn't just been beaten a nose and sort
out the next at Newmarket
"In
my experience , sorting anything out at Newmarket
"Don't
correct me if I am wrong but I'm pretty certain that, if the winner comes from
those bottom 15, very few punters over 60 will have backed it. Victory for Top
Notch Tonto or Graphic will be a disaster for the nation's senior citizens.
"BALTHAZAR
FABRICIUS, co-founder of bookmaker Fitzdares, finished second in his fight with
Arthur Landon at last Saturday's Boodle's Boxing Ball but he was very gutsy and
raised almost £20,000 for charity. Well done."

Ashforth Reports from the courtroom every day.
JOHN McCRIRICK having the guts to stand up and fight for what he believes in. Yes, yes yes if more of us did this Britain
JOHN McCRIRICK has developed his whole career and lifetime contributing to global pioneering horseracing within the Punters Zone Environment. Global Horseracing should be thanking him for his huge contribution, learning from his experience, not destroying his career and life for ever as now. Is this how the present Team Channel 4 Horseracing personnel can expect to be treated as well?

"Seems like we're all in the aging process. "
J Margaret Clarke this is about what is right and what is wrong.
This should not be a character opinion assassination . This is about a man who has held the same job over 29 years, a man who has been given the sack unjustly due to ageism.
