MUSINGS FROM A RETIRED RACING ENTHUSIAST
MUSINGS FROM A RETIRED RACING ENTHUSIAST
"Winner won't help you in
pursuit of happiness. "
Pic: Loch
Ba: the calm before the Hennessy Gold
Cup storm
"NEXT
week, to celebrate, get a train from London King's Cross to Glasgow Queen Street
"As
you stand by the water's edge, fighting off the midges, say loudly: "Thank
you, Loch Ba. It is a far, far better thing that you have done, although that
win at Newbury over three miles in January off a rating of 125 was pretty neat,
too.
"Yes,
there's your winner, and I speak with authority, as someone who has backed the
winner of the Hennessy before (Bighorn 1971) Don't be put off by the insulting
long odds; 25-1 as I write. Double your stake, If Ladbrokes
have to issue another
profits warning, so be it.
"It
doesn't really matter why Loch Ba is going to win. I've done all the hard,
analytical work for you. Hours slaving over video replays and form histories,
days monitoring betting market movements, making fine calculations of odds and
value. Also, Loch Ba's rather a nice name.
We just have to hope Domenic Elsworth
hasn't eaten for a week, while remaining at his strongest. If he has to
ride in his knickers to do the weight (10st 1lb), it's a sacrifice worth
making.
"After
that, we can only hope neither he nor Loch Ba cock things up. Do try not to.
"It's
perfectly straightforward, Loch Ba just needs to settle nicely, travel well,
jump well, finish well, and generally do as he is told. Elsworth just needs to
get Loch Ba settled into a nice rhythm, travelling well, jumping well, avoiding
trouble, and winning.
"The
last bit is particularly important. It's not too much to ask, surely. After
all, Lock Ba is a racehorse and Elseworth is a professional jockey. We're only asking them to do what they're
supposed to do.
"What
makes this year's result especially pleasing is that it was trainer Mick
Channon's 65th birthday on Thursday so, if the race had been run two days ago,
it would have been the perfect birthday present for him. That and his pension.
"Former
trainer Henrietta Knight is still involved with Loch Ba and, if the Hennessy
had been run 15 days later, on December 15, perhaps at Southwell, it would have
been a great birthday present for her.
"Still,
for all I know it might be owner Camilla Radford's birthday today. If it is,
happy birthday and good luck.
"As
you probably know, today was definitely Sir Winston Churchill's birthday. He
owned racehorses and would have been 139 had he not been cruelly taken from us
when aged only 90. It's a pity he'll miss this year's Hennessy.
"Churchill
could be a bit grumpy but Channon is a jolly soul, which is a great thing to
be. He'll probably be jolly even if Loch Ba doesn't win (It's alright, don't
worry, he will win).
"It's
partly hereditary, the jolliness. According to Jonathan Haidt, in a fascinating
book called The Happiness Hypothesis, research suggests that between 50 per cent
and 80 per cent of variance in levels of happiness between
different individuals is due to
genetic differences.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Haidt
"Happiness
is one of the most heritable aspects of personality, " writes Haidt. For
some of us, that's a bit worrying.
"One
result is that, whatever happens to you, good or bad, within about a year
you'll return to roughly the same level of happiness as before . Lose a leg or
win the lottery, ride the Grand National winner or fall at the last with the
Cheltenham Gold Cup at your mercy, you'll soon feel just the same happiness
wise.
"It's
worth bearing that in mind if things go wrong today. If Loch Ba runs
disappointingly Channon will soon feel just as happy as he did before - and if
a misery guts backs the winner, he'll soon be just as unhappy as he was this
morning. So it doesn't really matter what happens.
"The
good news is that, by working on the part of happiness that isn't preordained by your genes, you can make yourself happier.
The way to do it, says Haidt, is not by "having" but by
"doing", by focusing on experiences rather than s for possessions.
Activities that involve caring for others, showing kindness and gratitude, are
particularly effective in raising one's own happiness levels.
"Personally,
I've got my doubts. Over the years, I've been tremendously caring and kind to
bookmakers. I've sent them on holidays and built houses for them. I'm not sure
it's made me happier but I'm pretty sure it's contributed to their happiness,
which is a comfort.
"Anyway,
it doesn't matter what wins the Hennessy. You'll feel just the same
afterwards."
What jigsaw puzzle has
David set for us this week?
IN PERSUIT OF HAPPINESS
Key
facts:
LOCH
BA one of yesterday's brave challengers of
which there were 20 other's all trying to win this famous steeplechase The Newbury Hennessy Gold Cup 2013 at 3.00pm yesterday
afternoon, over a gruelling 3m+ which included jumping 21 big fences along the
way. Something that 95 per cent of the media to include the political,
horseracing, legal and financial governments fail to grasp.
Although
Paddy Power and his Mum seem to have sorted out the wheat from the chaff
themselves. One of their adverts' depict
a group of about 6 riders circling at
the start of a race "Knights of the
Garter" style, the horses in dreadful condition, hardly able to struggle
along walking leave alone galloping. With the 6 sinister riders all draped in
black cloaks.
I digress.
Henderson earlier won the Grade 1 Fighting Fifth at Newcastle
TRIOLO D'ALENE a beautiful, mighty six year old chestnut horse, gave his all to win here, beautifully turned out, looks like he has considerable growing still, to fill out his huge frame.

TRIOLO D'ALENE completed a super Saturday for
Nicky Henderson by winning the Hennessy Gold Cup from Rocky Creek, Theatre
Guide and Highland Lodge.

Yes, yes, yes a great performance. A huge compliment to Team Henderson, each and every one.
TAKING A CLOSER LOOK AT "LOCH BA": PROGRESSIVE. "
What may have attracted David to rate Loch Ba's chances in yesterday's Hennessy. SP 16-1
First:
What has Loch Ba achieved so far in his
steeplechasing career? Did he run over Hurdles? Did he run on the Flat? LOCH BA to date his form reads 121u5- 20

All
sorts of true threads, behind this
interesting story. Looks like yesterday Loch Ba partner Dominic Elsworth competing for The Hennessy Gold Cup 2013 performed well, tiring in the closing stages.
The Staff of Team (Mick) Channon
Whilst Mick's name is attached to any success associated with
West Ilsley Stables, the staff are responsible for the real hard graft. From
the depths of bitter winter to the frenetic high summer, they are the ones at
the sharp end who provide and care for the horses and provide The Boss with
feedback on every intimate detail.
There are over sixty staff in all with the vast
majority living on site, meaning that the horses are always the focus of attention.

Report: Fairyhouse, Sunday
Bar
One Racing Hatton's Grace Hurdle (Grade 1) 4yo+, 2m4f
IF
TONY McCOY was hoping to see Champion Hurdle class from Jezki on Sunday he was likely left disappointed, as the
five-year-old was unspectacular in a narrow-margin victory over Zaidpour.
In
beating last year's winner of the race the win was not without merit,
especially considering Jezki was untidy at the final two hurdles, but bookies
almost unanimously left him unchanged at 8-1 or 9-1 for the Stan James Champion
Hurdle.
HOW DO TOP
FOOTBALL PLAYERS GET ON
OWNING AND TRAINING RACEHORSES?
PROFESSIONAL
FOOTBALL ZONE
Mick
Channon was keen on horseracing back when he was playing football
professionally I believe, he has always loved horses throughout his lifetime to
date. He has trained many good winners .
EQUUS
ZONE
Henrietta
Knight since she relinquished her own license, has joined-up with Mick as they
live close by. Wantage is only a short
distance in a car from West Illsley .
http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2012/may/24/mick-channon-henrietta-knight-retires How long does it take a trainer team to bring a steeplechaser to peak performance. To progress through the novice races, to take a chance and aim for a race like the Hennessy. Very much depends on who the horsemen is at home working with each horse at the dangerous sharp end of a sport that is so badly misunderstood, each and every day.
SPECTATOR SPORTS
On the one hand we can
PREVIEW FOOTBALL TEAM SPORTSMEN
AND
On the other hand we can
PREVIEW HORSERACING TEAM SPORTSMEN
How is it that British horseracing has been trapped
in bloodhorse
illiterate hardship and poverty over the last 6 decades? Who
is responsible for this dark age crime? This is Charles Dickens territory still going on in 2013. An unacceptable evil.
A
bloodhorse illiterate multi - billion pound horseracing industry
being run as a charity?
With no true Equus Rules career structure and no true Equus Rules wage structure for skills achieved in place, earned in a person's own right

Willie
Mullins three year old filly Analifet under Ruby Walsh winning the Bar One
Racing Juvenile 3-Y-O Hurdle at Fairyhouse yesterday. Of particular reference
the photograph on page 12. The ultra fine connection can be noted between this
filly and Ruby when clearing the last hurdle to go on to win this race. Ruby is
reading this filly accurately he has her exactly where he wants her and she is
happy to be there, she understands exactly what Ruby is asking her to do. Ruby
rides her on the bridle note the balanced tension connection through the rein
and through Ruby's body balance, Ruby's gentle
hand accurate precision holding a gentle balanced tension between himself and this
filly. Spot on. The hallmark of a great rider. Few ever find it.

Harry Thomson Jones (1925 – 5 December 2007), often known as "Tom Jones", was a British racehorse trainer whose career lasted from 1951 to 1996. He was successful in National Hunt racing, training the winners of 12 Cheltenham Festival races before switching to flat racing and going on to train the winners of British Classic Races.
He was educated at Eton College and was first licenced as a trainer in 1951. Amongst his notable National Hunt horses were Tingle Creek, winner of 11 races and a specialist at Sandown Park Racecourse, and Frenchman's Cove, winner of the 1962 Whitbread Gold Cup and 1964 King George VI Chase. [1]
