Remember the I'll fated powley top mare, and a very sad end to her life, always stuck in my mind over the years, and at the time I was in total shock, apparently she was buried at waterlea racecourse.

haha .....asked for 5 so gives 7.......Classic 

 

Do you really need to be a wanker all your life?

 

Five horses I remember well for their ability. The other two for their names that always bought a smile.  I appreciate a boring stick in the mud brown nose like you is to busy sucking up and bending over to appreciate that. 

 

Take a break from being you for a day. Will be a holiday for you

There have been a few over the years that got through that made me wonder if they were being more relaxed about it or the name just went over their head.

 

The one named after Tasman Man Gary Williams always bought a smile. Richard Cranium

As well as some of those that have already been named we'd like to include "Steeple"  - trained or ridden by Brett Crozier, & the price went up & up & up like some steeples & it paid a beaut each way dividend, the race went to an inquiry, which at the time caused the stress levels to also go up & up & up.

 

Red Teddy ridden by Daryl Lang at Avondale as it also paid a great EW divvy.
