Ching ching

Phew. I decided that having not backed Shepherd’s Warning last time I’d have a proper go at her this time. She got home and she wasn’t claimed - a win double. The RP marked the run at 65, 3lb below her last run, commenting that she was “not exactly progressive”. Richard Kingscote told us that she was flicked in the face by Longoria’s jockey’s whip a couple of furlongs out which slowed her in her tracks - he thought she won with a bit in hand and would have done it a lot easier without the whip incident.
I’m glad she wasn’t claimed as I think she is better than claiming class - we dropped her down because it’s tough to win a nursery off her current mark and it seemed like the only option. She came out of the race well and could come out quickly but we can’t see a suitable race for her - she’s in the Doncaster sales at the end of January and we’ll decide between now and then whether we want to leave her in.
Next runner will probably be Ours, who ought to have an excellent chance of winning following his head second last time. He may come out on Wednesday.

Well done Sir. Happy New Year to you, your freinds and family, your readers, and all your hard-working folk at Betfair, and to Mick Stone as well. :-).
Go check this on the soccer forum of your site:

It was reported to the forum@betfair.com address TWO HOURS ago…..it is still there.
Disgraceful.
The title of the thread is:
the sitcom thread from the middle east …………
UNBELIEVABLE RACISM
The thread had already been removed a day earlier from the chit chat forum but keeps being re-posted.
Compare some of the comments in it with my crime of ’swearing’ a couple of years ago and getting a life ban.
These people will still be posting tomorrow though.
