Has anyone ever owned a share of a racehorse :)

I'm about to embark on a little added fun as my life is very dull.


It's called Silver Treasure and he's French although he lives in Newmarket now.


He's only two bless him but he can already run 6 furlongs. Just not as quickly as the other horses can.


Ps. Don't tell Mrs M.

If I can just say, of course I have once bought a burger from a high street supermarket, can we consider the correspondence on the consumption of horsemeat opened and closed and allow Mick M's thread to continue without any (more?) unnecessary hilarity?


You're welcome Mick M.


Let us know when he's running, I'll put my little all on him.


Edited - punctuation, you're the divil...

Wow six furlongs! I don't know what a furlong is but six of them sound like a long way.


I knew some chaps that did own a nag and they used it as an excuse to get right royally lashed up at racecourses across the country and I think found the whole thing very enjoyable.


However, I suspect if you want winners it might ruin your life

Exactly Steveo... and its only a 5% share so no major expense.


But if it doesn't win the Derby I'l leat my hat.

Woohoo - Its running [but soft groud is not good and it was stepping up anyway....so don't back it]


Dear All,


Silver Treasure has been declared to run in the 15:20 ( French time)at Chantilly on Friday. He has been drawn in stall 2 of 15 and Rab Havlin rides. The ground is forecast to be soft. Many thanks,


Amy Weaver.

Sorry you guys didn't back it. Obviously I didn't know a lot about the horse and didn't want you to lose money so steered clear of recommending it.


We had a great day and we were over the moon with second place. It will run again once this year prob towards the end of the month. It will run in either a maiden for horses that have yet to win a race or a claimer where god forbid someone can buy it from us. As I only a small share i have no say so I'm hoping the main owner chooses a maiden in which case we will likely own it into next year as a three year old.


It has some distance ability on the dam side so 10 or 12 furlongs could suit it next year.

That's a really good pedigree.


He should do well.


I was mad about horse racing in the 70's & 80's (used to follow John Dunlop & back all his horses!)


All those names bring back some really good memories. Especially 'Mummys Pet' who was around the same time as 'Mill Reef' 'Brigadier Gerard' & 'My Swallow'.


Those were the days!

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
    • Thanks tedfudge, great news, well done!!! 🦆😊
    • Just an update  The ducklings were picked up by a lady from an animal sanctuary Sussex,  hopefully they have a good life ahead of them
    • We had one that projected stars and played lullabies. It was a soft toy bee with a hard plastic back. I know we used it but can’t recall how effective it was.  What was brilliant was the Lulla sleep doll which has a heart beat sound. That was a critical sleep aid for the first couple of years.
