Trotter Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Anyone know of any classic racing bloopers to give us a bit of a laugh ? I though of this when reading Nick Mordin's latest column and was surprised to see the following sentence............... Trainer Jean-Claude Rouget became very temperamental and that's why they gelded him :unsure:loon:loon I think some words might have got lost along the way...............:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erhaab1965 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Re: Racing Bloopers " Godolphin to train National Hunt horses " An exclusive story in the Sun by Claude Duvall in the late 90s. He claimed Godolphin was going to spend in winter in Britain in an attempt to win jumpings biggest prizes having tasted success in the Champion Hurdle with James Fanshaw and Michael Stoute. Obviously Claude Duvall was stitched up and must have had the piss taken out of him in the press areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertob Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Re: Racing Bloopers I think he thought he passed already the winning post.

erhaab1965 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Re: Racing Bloopers Joe Tizzard who was Paul Nicholls stable jockey before Ruby Walsh was aboard the fancied Double Thriller in the Grand National one year during the late 90s. On the day of the race he and the horse was pictured on the front page of the Racing Post , with Joe explaining he was going to do this and do that to win the race. I'm pretty sure he started favorite or very close to fav having won numerous races and being placed in the Gold Cup the previous month. I myself had a chunky bet on him too. At the start of the race , tapes up................fell first fence....... !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erhaab1965 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Re: Racing Bloopers The jock has no idea how far they have to run... Reminds me of Dean Mernagh , the jockey who was banned for his part in the betting scandal a few years back. On numerous occassions he rode Wolverhampton a circuit too early.

erhaab1965 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Re: Racing Bloopers Today is the annual Queens Speech where she addresses both Houses of Parliament. We all know she loves racing and loves a bet and I remember many years ago when her mum was still around , she was giving her speech and she inadvertantly said ".........national hunt........." she quickly coughed and repeated the sentance without saying " hunt ".
