DAVID ASHFORTH
SATURDAY MUSINGS FROM A RETIRED RACING ENTHUSIAST
David
sets rather a conundrum in his Saturday Musings this week. (29.12.2012)
“Looking
forward and planning, both are so important,
but remember nobody likes a
know-all."
ALL THOSE ADVENTURING OUT ON THE WORLD'S HORSERACING ROAD TAKE HEED OF DAVID'S WORDS.
DAVID'S PHOTOGRAPH
“The exploits of Long Run and Sam Waley-Cohen on Wednesday are a thing of the
past, unlike the feast day of Saint Trophimus of Arles
Right or wrong? What do you think?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trophimus_of_Arles
JMC Wrong. LONG RUN'S achievements will be recognised
in the History of the Turf for ever, and rightly so.
It does warn us in the bible that within religious faiths some vicars and priest at the end of time will be found to be imposters.

Star Nicky (Equus Zone) Henderson (trainer of Long Run)
THE
PEOPLE BEHIND THE LIFE AND TIMES OF LONG
RUN.
Surely
no one can call licensed trainer Nicky Henderson “a know all” could they? Or could they? Nicky
accurately defines all racehorses as “accidents waiting to happen”. Surely one of the greatest quotes ever.
Yes,
Yes, Yes. In 4 words Nicky captures the
essence of just how dangerous horseracing can become if directed in the wrong
way, if directed by bloodhorse illiterate governments. Nicky gives
his accurate warning - “all racehorses are accidents waiting to happen”. In otherwords do not mess with racehorses lives if you don't know anything about the needs and rights of all such horses.
Another 2012
quote from Jamie Osborne (Equus Zone)
“Trainers need an hotel for their owners these days.” Yes, Yes, Yes so
they do, such hotels need to be run
along Equus Zone principles. In the present order of things looks like trainers are to be burdened even further by governments demanding and forcefully expecting the impossible through their bloodhorse illiteracy.
But is the owner of LONG RUN Richard Waley-Cohen, bloodhorse literate or bloodhorse illiterate?
Richard Waley-Cohen is SAM WALEY-COHEN'S Dad - SAM WALEY-COHEN is
LONG RUN'S rider. What a wonderful Dad to have. Nicky Henderson - Team Henderson - Equus Zone LONG RUN'S home environment.

Sam's Dad, Richard Waley-Cohen has now recently taken over to be Lead Horse, Champion, Commander in Chief of Cheltenham Racecourse. Yes, Yes, Yes, confidence returning a little bit. Nicky Henderson's Dad saved Cheltenham Racecourse from closure many moons ago. How great a story is this? Is this LONG RUN true story going to turn out to be one of the very best true horseracing stories ever? Up there with the Australian amazing true story of PHAR LAP, and BLACK CAVIAR? Up there with the amazing ALDANITI true story? Up there with the amazing true story of FRANKEL? Up there with the amazing true story of KAUTO STAR? Up there with the amazing true story of BEST MATE? Up there with the amazing true story of MILL REEF?
Up there with the amazing true story of SEA THE STARS?

The Ratzinger Archives.
Collected Works of Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger (Pope Benedict
XV1) April 1st 2005
“In a fascinating homily given on 1st April 2005
(the day before Pope John Paul died), Cardinal Ratzinger cited the Prologue of
Saint John’s Gospel as the central plank in what we believe about the world
and it’s purpose.
The World is a product
of the Word, of the Logos, as Saint
John
“All that we know about the Trinitarian nature of God is
folded into this extraordinary passage from Scripture. The fact that creation
is imbued from the beginning with the presence of the Son, the Word who would
become incarnate, and that he communicated himself in History through the Holy
Spirit. That our role in the Creation, made in his image, is to cooperate with
the creative reason which is at the core of our existence. That we make sense
of the world and our place in it, acting creatively in that world, secure in
the knowledge that everything is full of meaning, or Logos. As the Holy Father has said on another occasion: “Christianity
must always remember that it is the religion of the Logos. It is faith in the Creator
Spiritus, (Creator Spirit), from which proceeds everything that exists.”
“Everything has meaning, and so nothing can be lost. Indeed
from his fullness we have, all of us, received – yes, grace in return for
grace.” (Jn 1:16)
A racehorse in
training gives grace in return for grace, or not as the case maybe, grace if
shown to him by a truly creative bloodhorse literate handler rider. No spark otherwise
True Bloodhorse Literacy brings everyone flowers every day to include the horses.
