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.

Here's the card. He's not among the current favourites. http://www.turf-pronostics.com/pronostic/courses-hippiques.php?no_reunion=5262&numreunion=1&jourreunion=11-10-2013&nom_hippo=CHANTILLY&numerocourse=04&nbre1=4


What's the way of wishing good luck? Break a leg's the only thing that comes to mind, but I've a feeling that's not the right one.

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.

  • 2 weeks later...

Running again next week.


BTW here is the pedigree - we have a bit of Northern Dancer on both sides, the most succesful sire in history (in money terms) and a Kentucky Derby winner. Some Ribot too. They do get around those boys.

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!

    • Their food is lovely, but unfortunately the waiting time for it is sometimes so long, even when they don't seem particularly busy, that we no longer go there. We used to just accept it, but seeing people who came in long after us getting their food before us was the last straw after we had waited well over half an hour, if memory serves. It might have been nearly an hour, but I can't remember exactly, it was a while ago. We paid for our drinks (which had come quite quickly) and went to have lunch elsewhere. We reckoned we would get our food quicker that way. We were very  hungry by this time! It's a shame, because we would like to support them as they are a small local business with great food, but there seems to be some problem on the kitchen side (we were assured that our order had been given to the kitchen as soon as we made it - we asked earlier, as we thought maybe it had been forgotten, but no).
    • This is a bit niche 🤣 I like  Kargs cheese and pumpkin seed crispbread, but it's quite expensive even when it's on offer. So when M&S started their own brand,  I used to buy that sometimes. It was different from Kargs, but ok. Then it disappeared from the shelves for ages. I assumed this was due to the supply problems after M&S  were hacked into. So I was quite pleased recently to see it had returned. But it now tastes revolting (in my opinion). I have no idea what was in it before, as I had no reason to look, but on checking the ingredient list now,  the second after wheat flour  is cornflour (?!), and it's also got palm fat, rapeseed oil, cheese powder and potato starch. And some other stuff. Plus some  actual cheese. I can't find anything online to say the recipe was  changed, so maybe my taste buds have suddenly become more sensitive, but after reading this, I'm appalled M&S are selling this rubbish. Has anyone else noticed any changes? I'm assuming they waited some time so customers would have used up what they had and couldn't make a direct comparison, but that might be a hideous slur (if so, apologies to M&S). Kargs use sunflower oil, and have  none of these other weird ingredients. I shall be gritting my teeth and buying only Kargs from now on. Disclaimer 1 : I don't have any shares in Kargs. I wish I did, I might get a discount! Disclaimer 2:  Yes I have many better things to do with my time than post on here moaning about crispbread, but I am having a tea break (just preempting another attack from those people who haven't got better things to do with THEIR  time than post on here to randomly attack other posters for no apparent reason).
    • There is the Blue Brick Cafe for vegetarian food too.
