2017 Horse Racing meta thread

At least you avoided the fight on Ladies' Day. The one with the shirtless man putting up his fists.

He was a gypsy. No surprise there.

Is that right? I'm surprised there was no female on female violence.

I liked the one bird with the purple hat and black dress - the blond, but then the caption says she is from Texas. My mate is still in crutches so didn't ask him if he wanted to go this year.

 

[Kingstonian]

There was female fighting too.

The highest rated horse in Europe - Cracksman- wins the Coronation Cup just getting past a 33 to 1 outsider.

Forever Together wins The Oaks for Aidan O’Brien. One of his many entries, ridden by one of his sons.

Roaring Lion named on the wishing well outside The Amato pub as tomorrow’s Derby winner. They have as good a success rate as any tipster. Saxon Warrior is the odds on favourite.

Nice, dry sunny day up on the downs,

Roaring Lion third at 10/1. Each way bet profitable. Odds on favourite was outside the places.

So the wishing well at The Amato continues to be a decent tipster.

Unfortunately the pub has gone gastro and only diners were admitted on Oaks day.

Two triple crowns in short order. They say these happen in spurts.

 

[Fwiffo]

Two? I counted one.

 

[Thruth]

Two? I counted one.

American Pharaoh 2015 was the last one.

American Pharaoh 2015 was the last one.

Ahh right. 2015 is slowly slipping away from recent memory for me.
