Also rather interesting that UTR occupy half of the Serendipitous Six spots. We are clearly not living up to our name and having the Winx Effect on our opponents 😁

Back in a 1200m maiden at Taupo today. It'll be interesting to see if she's up for it.

Yes I do appear to have a rather deflating effect on my opponents. I'm sure Howie will prove the exception to the rule.

It's all good mate. Just got a bit bored and had some cheap fun. I probably should know better at my age. 🤣

Humour me on this people. The Spring Comp on BOAY is being run by the serial abuse merchant Mk2 Zephyr who attracted a stunning 7 entries to his comp. A bloke called Boxie entered and then queried why his score was not recorded in the rather paltry result list. Boxie asked why he wasn't in the results and was given a serve of epic proportions by the organizer. Here's the delicious irony. Boxie is........ Chief Stipe's alter ego.

Ok have decided to play HTD Pete v Howie PJ v Robert Sharne v Geoff Tom v Steve P Wrinkles v Jack

Nice summary Howie. I'm thinking of playing the HTD or whatever it is called. I've been burned by Robert too many times and think I'll put up one of our star strikers to do the job.

So proud of the Seagulls this morning after they took apart Spurs. Lovely way to start a Sunday.

Nice work UTR.

In case anyone gets concerned about Hesi and I spending truckloads of money and needing charity to stay afloat, rest assured that it costs about $35 each a month to run this site. Rest assured we are happy to do so and will never get out the begging bowl asking anyone for a contribution. Just wanted to set the record straight about the costs involved.

Yep I'm the King of soft opponents. It can't last...

Neil Young wins hands down for me.

Very wobbly 5 nil for UTR with 4 matches really in the balance. Under $100 total aggregate difference in the 4 matches. Sharne playing a blinder as usual.

Gee I think I'll get this framed and hang it on the wall. My wife thinks the exact opposite.

I think Hesi meant we as in him and me Weasel. I'm sure he wouldn't be trying to speak for everyone on here. I wouldn't call him spiteful as such. He especially has had to endure some pretty vicious attacks by the owner of BOAY including stuff you don't know about. For my part, I'm happy to peacefully co exist but Doug keeps playing the victim card. You're very correct that everyone on here is perfectly entitled to their views on the whole subject and also perfectly entitled to post wherever they choose. We (Hesi and I) never take your support for granted and value it. Pete

This is the second time this has happened.

Slightly off topic but that quote about Ming Dynasty being everyone's favourite grey is disputable (Gunsynd anyone?) What's indisputable is our love for grey horses. I was wondering why everyone thinks that is. Is it merely a point of difference that attracts us to them?

Has had a sex change according to Mr Pompous on BOAY.

Phew this has suddenly got very close.

Yeah looking at wrong race. Embarrassing.
