Curious horsey phrases used by horsey people

“Excuse me, Sir. When you and your fellow owners and the trainers and jockeys corruptly fix the race, will you let me know what you’ve decided please? I’d like to feel part of it all by dining on the scraps of information you crooks feed me.”

“looking for value”
“ridden out the back”
“Connections”
“trying to make all”
“he’ll be a different animal come March I’d suspect”
“he committed far too early”
“a serious young horse”
"he will act on it alright "

“Can that stable boy read or write?”

Is that stable boy, in fact, a girl?

@Bandage is on fire here

Is that referring to the horse? Is the implication that the dumb beast that has no idea why it is being whipped around a field by a midget and made to jump fences will somehow learn from the experience and emerge with an improved aptitude for being whipped around a field by a midget while jumping fences?

Yes mate, would you believe horses improve at jumping fences the more they practice.

Education is an absolutely ridiculous word to use in the context of an animal.

Does anybody involved in horse racing like Ted Walsh?*

Ruby Walsh probably does

Why?

and the forum’s resident “stallion” himself comes in all guns ablazing…

what?
so the horse gets up in the morning and voluntarily decides to head out and hop a few fences all because he wants to run faster then the other horse in the big race in March,

Because horses, like stable boys, can’t read or write.

i thought the stable boy was referred to as the horse’s lad?

I’d say the people who rely on guide dogs would strongly disagree with you

Because it implies an ability to understand.

Call the midgets that batter horses around the field “pilots”.

Who? Blind cunts? Fuck them. They won’t be reading me slagging them off anyway.

poor old @TreatyStones is at home snarling away at the keyboard whip in hand trying to concoct a response, this has been one hell of a clamping, a mugging off in fact…
