We had one here who claimed he should get half of the jockeys winnings if the horse won because he got dropped

Very true. That is big headed jocks for you though. I rate Jimmy though, one of best riding at the moment.

Really looking forward to the July Cup...... i will be there, so if anyone is desperate for any photos of any horses let me know and i will TRY (with the emphasis on the word try) and get some shots.

Sakhees Secret looks like a real tool, it's not an original selection but i hope he wins because he looks like the real deal.

Richard Hannon will have been doing the sun dance for Asset and it looks to have worked wonders.

I was gonna write a list, but it got waaaay too long.

How about this..... if you can, get a picture of one of the not-quite-so-popular types, like Gift Horse ( in an earlier race), Red Clubs (who could actually win) , or Bygone Days.

Oh, or Quito!

Or New Girlfriend!

Or.....

PS - If you see Michael Jarvis, tell him THANK YOU.

Okay this is what i'd like and it could take a little while so sorry... you're gonna have to forget about betting on / watching the races.

First off, we need two stand-ins..... one slightly hyper to fill in for THE GREATEST HORSE WHO EVER LIVED, and one kinda sedate for the second most beloved. Do you see what i'm getting at here? Sorta like a trip back in time. Rakti and Iffraaj.... those WERE the days, my friend.

I'd like the photo taken in late afternoon, when the light is pleasing. None of those the-sun-is-directly-overhead shots svp.

Rakti, or the stand in, will be standing in the bg... acting up but only a little. You'll have to deal with the conversation / motivation aspect.

Now the Iffraaj stand-in is in the fg, with his nose right up by Michael's shoulder. Can you swing this? Am I going too fast? Take notes if you'd like.

Let me work on composition and peppermint placement and I'll get back to you.

Yeah, she was a bit full of herself. I felt sorry for her groom. She wasn't nearly as bad as she has been in the past, but she was a bit too healthy and fit if you ask me.
