Saturday's musings from a retired racing enthusiast.
Saturday's musings from a retired racing enthusiast.
David Ashforth:
twice voted journalist of the year
PICTURE: Dan Abraham twice voted journalist of the year
"Fun, laughter and swearing
make up for lack of profit."
Pic:
"Crowd pleasers: (from left to right) Henry de Bromhead, John Francome,
Davy Russell, handicapper Noel O'Brien, bookmaker Justine Carty and Mike
Cattermole share a joke at a preview night in Waterford."
"SEASON
of mists and mellow fruitfulness. Oh, no, that's autumn. Season of flu (I write
from my dressing gown) and Cheltenham Festival previews. They're coming up. If
you've never been to one, you should - they're good fun.
"The
event I remember best took place in the ballroom of the Glencarn Hotel in
Castleblayney, County Monaghan, four years ago, when the one and only Oliver
Brady, during a virtuoso performance, introduced Pablo, the winner of the 2003
Lincoln, on to the dance floor. Brady also told some very funny stories and had
a priest on hand to forgive him for swearing. A lot of forgiveness was
required.
"The
priest, Father Hughes, would have come in handy at Towcester, the scene of notably lively previews, fuelled by
pundit and punter Mark Winstanley. Entertaining though they are, it's probably
best not to take your maiden aunt with
you, if maiden aunts still exist. I think they may have died out. Anyway,
Winstanley's jokes, rarely in good taste but often funny, have been known to
include Bangkok
"Strong
opinions, strongly expressed, help previews along and, characteristically , it
was Matt Chapman who condemned that year's Arkle Chase as "an awful race that
should have been run at Catterick", The winner, Tidal Bay, turned out
quite well but looking at the subsequent fate of the others, Chapman had a
point.
"Panelists
regularly have points, although some of them can be difficult to grasp -
witness former jockey and current pundit Colin Brown's defence of 2007 Royal
& SunAlliance Chase candidate Cailin Alainn: "She's done nothing much
wrong," said Brown, "apart from fall" - which was what she did
on the day. The following year, assessing Air Force One's prospects in the same
race, trainer Seamus Mullins observed that Charlie Mann's chaser had also
"done little wrong." before pausing and adding: "He hasn't
really done anything right, either."
"If
you do get bored, it can be interesting counting the number of times panelists
use the expression "he's done nothing wrong," "he's a machine", "he's got an
engine" and "I couldn't have him on my mind". As well as a pen, you'll need quite a large
piece of paper.
"Brown
was speaking at East Garston village hall, a homely
venue with seats that Victorian bottoms would recognise. It's probably best to
take a cushion but, assuming a preview's still there, it's always an enjoyable
one even though, one year, the end of the preview coincided with the arrival of
trainer Stan Moore, one of the panelists.
"Panels
with panelists who spark off each other are best , which makes jockey Davy
Russell and trainer Tony Mullins good company, if prone to fits of giggling.
All the previews in Ireland Waterford
"They
have enormous crowds at some previews, such as the ones at Belfast's Europa
Hotel, where I discovered a panelist able to speak as fast as Lydia Hislop and
Steve Mellish did at the Midlands' Racing Club's splendid preview at the Barn
Social Club's, near Birmingham. It was a remarkable feat, accomplished by Ronan
Graham, of bookmaking firm Sean Graham, although I was even more struck by
another Irish bookmaker, Paul Ryan of Paddy Power, at the Cheltenham & Three Counties Race Club preview, where
panelists perched on stools on the racecourse's Centaur stage. When Paul
Carberry was criticized for his riding of the frustrating Harchibald in the
2007 Christmas Hurdle at Kempton, Ryan leapt to his defence. "He's a
jockey, not a bloody psychiatrist."
"The
roll might suit Andy Clifton, Cheltenham 's communications director, who fancied Denman
to win the 2007 Royal & SunAlliance Chase on the basis that, when visiting
Paul Nicholls' yard, Denman had dribbled on his shounder. It was a good choice
and it's a pitty Denman wasn't sick over him, or Clifton
"On
the whole, that would be an unwise response to panelists' selections (double
your bet not being sick over them). Having compared a large sample of
selections with a similarly large sample of results, there is the danger of a
large deficit. Best to just go along for the ride."
DAVID has clearly enjoyed adventuring into the Cheltenham Festival Preview Evenings.
Info herewith, and more to follow later. Wondering why Flat Turf racemeetings don't appear to follow suit in this popular guiding environment.

George Washington (January 3, 2003 – October 27, 2007) was a thoroughbred
racehorse
foaled in Ireland
by champion sire Danehill out of Bordighera, also the dam of the
high-class colt Grandera. Bred by Roy and Gretchen Jackson, he was
trained at Ballydoyle
by Aidan
O'Brien and owned by Susan Magnier, Michael
Tabor, Derrick Smith.
George Washington suffered a dislocated ankle fracture [2]
during the Breeders' Cup Classic at Monmouth
Park on October 27, 2007, and was euthanized.
The horse was nicknamed 'Gorgeous George' by his followers.
EQUUS ZONE
GEORGE WASHINGTON
GORGEOUS GEORGE
we all called him
JMC: GORGEOUS GEORGE liked to check out the environment he found himself in when arriving on a racecourse ..... from the moment the horse box ramp came down and he stepped out on to racecourse turf it was like he became spellbound. It was no use attempting to hussle or bussle him along in any way. He needed to get his own head around the different environment he found himself in first, to make sure that he felt safe before he would venture where he was being asked to go.
Bloodhorse Literate Clare Balding and Kelly Marks working together picked up on this live on televised racing, they were able together to talk their TV audience through things from
GORGEOUS GEORGE's perspective. Clare and Kelly were spot on, acurately, finely in-tune exactly with GORGEOUS GEORGE's needs, and rights within his own true perspective.
