MUSINGS FROM A RETIRED RACING ENTHUSIAST
"Nightmare as Newbury gets knickers
in a twist. "
Pic Fur coat and no knickers?
You're barred!
You're barred ! That's the attitude
isn't it, the old fuddy duddy's attempt to spoil the party for beautiful young
girl's with fabulous legs.
What with
David Cameron attempting to take over all our spare bedrooms, and Newbury
racecourse getting their knickers in a twist over what sort of knickers we
should all be wearing when we go racing. One could be forgiven for wondering
what sort of a world this is we are all attempting to live in. The BHA refusing
to have anything to do with true
bloodhorse literate horseracing equus zone rules. Attempting to run British
horseracing without the horses. BHA have got away with running British
horseracing without consideration to the horses or to their daily handler riders for so long, they assume they can continue on abusing both just the same over the next hundred years.
Perhaps
what is needed, is a 3 mile steeplechase to be run at Newbury open only for riders (passengers) who sit on the BHA disciplinary panel, plus all those who make up the BHA Licensing Committee, the chairman and his side kick, each and every one of
them. Shush them all out of their cosy warm closet, take all their names and
addresses, and book a couple of wards at Newbury hospital. To get all BHA personel to show us how a jockey should ride these steeplechasers by example. Leg them all up in the paddock, lead them out to the track and let them go. That should shock and frighten them into understanding the stark reality of their foolish ways. And get rid of the lot of them fast, out of the way for good.
We could
ask Nicky Henderson (GB) and Willie Mullins (IRE) to provide the horses ....
On second thoughts it might be best to ask Paddy Power and his Mum if we can borrow those quiet horses they use in their advert. Those ones who are half starved and can hardly manage to walk, leave alone trot. Or jump those big fences

"Sorry if there are some
spelling mistakes. It's difficult to type with your fingers bandaged up. On
Monday, I pushed a note the postman had left for a neighbour through her
letterbox and a cat jumped up and savaged my fingers. I don't know what the
cat's called but I call it Ewebastard. It's OK the cat won't mind about your spelling.
Those sharp
letter boxes are made by British government to ensure Postmen 'hurry up' when
delivering the Royal Mail.
"While on the subject of post,
will the man who keeps sending David Ashford (Ashforth)invitations to join a "free
horseracing system worth £147" by paying "the sum of £27 immediately
and the same sum thereafter each month" please stop, despite his kind
message hoping that "you and your family are doing well" . David warns us to be ware of scammers like this.
"The next night, perhaps because of the strange incident with
the cat, I had a curious dream. I was walking towards the entrance to Newbury
racecourse or, as it is now, The Racecourse Newbury, when I saw a queue in
front of me and a big sign reading Show Us Your Knickers. A bit odd, I thought.
"Anyway, it turned out that,
under a new dress code, ladies wishing to enter the Premier Enclosure were
required to wear knickers.
"Female staff were on hand to
establish that those aspiring to premier status were, indeed knickered, . Although one
lady took umbrage and protested, "I haven't worn knickers for years and
it's never been a problem before. Well, apart from that one incident, and he
was arrested" .
"A higher-up official was
called, who explained that they had asked their regular customers if people
should be allowed into the Premier Enclosure without knickers and a clear
majority felt they should not.
"It's fine for the Grandstand,
"said the official. "There's probably lots of women not wearing them
in there but I'm afraid I can't let you into this enclosure without knickers.
Sorry.
"It's a question of standards . Next, please, Madam,
if you'd just show this lady your knickers. Thank you, lovely, in you go.
" The official pointed the
protesting lady towards a table covered with knickers and invited
her to buy a pair . He called them "passport knickers" .
"Next to the table was a long
rack with a line of coat hanger's bearing a collection of trousers. There were
red trousers, yellow trousers and corduroy trousers.
"One of the gatemen turned to a young man sporting
a smart blazer, shirt and tie and said, "If you'd just like to pop your
jeans in the dustbin there, sir. I know you've explained they're designer
jeans. I'm sure they are but you can never tell with jeans, can you sir?
"We've had a lot of trouble
with them in the past and our premier customers find the sight of people in
smart denim ruins the day for them. They just cannot enjoy the racing if there
are jeans in the same enclosure.
"I hope you understand. If
you'd care to buy a respectable pair. "He pointed at the row of trousers.
"The young man, making his
first visit to The Racecourse Newbury, didn't seem entirely happy with his
welcome.
"The official tried to be
encouraging "Sir might find the Grandstand more to his liking, although I
fear the worst on the denim front. Not all of it is as smart as I am sure sir
would wish. "
"What on earth is that?"
the young man suddenly asked, pointing at a sign that read Kneel Here. As one
woman stood up, another knelt down. "Ah, skirt length, sir, " the
official explained. "It was a very popular system at some of the better
girl's schools in the 1960's.
"Left to themselves, some
women will pay a measly £26 to get into the Premier Enclosure, and then expect
to be allowed to choose for themselves what skirt they wear! Have you ever
heard anything so ridiculous?
"It was the same with
schoolgirls. The schools had to do something to keep the girls decent, and so
do we. Excuse me a moment, sir. "
"The official strode
purposefully towards a woman in mid-argument. She had refused to kneel down.
The official introduced himself.
"May I help, madam? We do prefer our premier ladies to be modest
and if you would just kneel down, we can check that your skirt reaches your
knees.. "
"He looked at her skirt.
"On second thoughts, I don't think we will require you to kneel. That is
what we call a 'wanton' skirt, and it has no place in the Premier Enclosure.
"We do have some nice, long, tweed skirts for purchase, unless you would prefer to mix with your own kind in the Grandstand. Have a nice day!
"We do have some nice, long, tweed skirts for purchase, unless you would prefer to mix with your own kind in the Grandstand. Have a nice day!
"Then I woke up. By the way,
today you're fine in jeans in the Premier Enclosure at Sandown, as long as they
aren't ripped or torn. Aintree doesn't have a dress code, although smart is
preferable. "

Have granddad's underpants turned into girls tights?
With a little bit of a change around in design, made in most colours. In fine, medium and
large denier. Can be worn over knickers
and under skirts or dresses. Can be worn under very short skirts, under very
short pants (trousers). Or mid length
coats. Posh or what?
Granddad's Long-Johns turned into male and female ballet
dancers' gear

Steeplechase Punchestown Sunday December 8th.
MOMENT OF THE WEEK
ANALIFET has certainly been living up to
expectations and her impressive win at
Fairyhouse on Sunday confirmed the favourable impression she made at
Punchestown.. She is now three from three over hurdles and a Grade 2 juvenile
hurdle at
Leopardstown (Dec 26) is next.
Leopardstown (Dec 26) is next.
LOW POINT OF THE WEEK
TURNANDGO'S exit at the second last at Clonmel on
Thursday was dissapointing following his big run behind THE TULLOW TANK at
Naas. Arriving in Hong Kong minus our bags
wasn't good either. The same thing happened when we went to Tokyo
ONE TO WATCH
ABBYSSIAL, a three-year-old by Beneficial owned by Archie and Violet
O'Leary, was placed over hurdles on his
only start in France

ASK WILLIE

or the Don't Miss section on racingpost.com
Q. "Do
you think UN DE SCEAUX is a potential champion hurdler and, if so, where will
he start off this season? (kashmire)
A. "The handicapper rated him 156 following
his two wins at Punchestown last season, so there is every chance he could
improve to be a Champion Hurdle contender. A lot of interest was shown by good
judges after his second win and we're looking forward to starting off at
Thurles on December 22. "
Q. "How
do you relax after racing? (jgnign)
A. "Once the season gets hectic there isn't a lot of down time, but I like dining out locally or trying new restaurants. Silencing my phone at night and closing the door are also good ways to switch off. ""
