Clash City Rocker Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Mrs CCR's "Midlife Crisis" involved buying herself a couple of racehorses One of them, "Wenger" a French horse has it's first race of the season this Thurdsay (29.10.09) at Stratford races in the 2.50pm "River Avon Handicap Chase". It does have a "bit of form", winning twice in it's last 4 races. http://www.racingpost.com/horses/horse_home.sd?horse_id=570213&race_id=492136&r_date=2009-10-29 This time it's up against a Tony McCoy/Jonjo O'neil horse so it's probably only an each way bet. Shaun Lycett (Trainer) with "Wenger" @ Bourton on the Water stables, Sept 2009. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffyfeet Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 What a beautiful horse! Only racecourse I've been to apart from Wolvo is Stratford. Really enjoyed it. Is it pronounced Wenger or Venger (as in "Ooops, word censored!"n)? Dawn x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chick wiggle Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Oh what a beautiful horse, absolutely stunning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 He looks lovely. Good luck My late first husband had a third share in a three-legged steeplechaser( with his bookie and the landlord of our local ) some 15years ago. He didn't do much but it was great to dress up and swan around in the owners' and trainers' enclosure It cost a fortune in fees and veterinary attention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poachedegg Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Very handsome (the horse I mean!! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I give up Can't find an online bet place with tomorrows race on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 That's because they'll not have formed the markets yet. Some bookies will have it online tonight but the majority will have it on their site in the morning. If you want to take a price instead of SP you'll have to wait until around 9am. Best of luck for tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Chick Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Glad I only put 2 quid each way on it now I am soooo not the gambling sort Hope you had a fun day anyway, and as the old saying goes, its not the winning but the taking part that counts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clash City Rocker Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 I didn't go, I had to work. It's Mrs CCR's horse and she was there. I recorded the race on the Sky Racing Channel. I thought it finished in Last place but Mrs CCR said "it was sixth" (out of six !!!). Her other horse is called "The Gloves are Off" trained by Sue & Harvey Smith and not due to be racing until December 09. Hope that one performs a bit better.
