Wife liked the red phone box or post box outside. I should recall really :highly_amused:
 
Just got back from playing golf, well doing an impression of it at least. Many thanks for the welcomes.

Long time reader, recent poster.

Caught the antepost bug with Franchoek in the Triumph, who should have won if given a better ride.

Fulham Fan. Surrey Cricket Member. Love playing Mullins bingo every year.

Remember Franchoek. JP bought him a short time before the Triumph which forced subsequent Churdle winner Binocular of all horses into the Supreme as he wanted to split them. Henderson wasn't best pleased. Both finished 2nd.
 
That’s the one. I was on him @ 50s and 33s. Went off even money favourite and finished a couple of lengths back to Celestial Halo who had a somewhat enterprising ride from ruby off the front IIRC.....with what was to come from Henderson’s yard re: Binocular’s Champion Hurdle win, I cant say I was too bothered he wasn’t too happy
 
Hi everyone, thought best to do the formalities before commenting further on anything.

Firstly, I have no idea why I picked the name, I certainly don’t have a Rich Ricci fetish nor am I especially partial to a hat in truth. But generally as someone who is not averse to backing a favourite or a short priced horse, you naturally gravitate towards the pink silks on a Tuesday...

I live in Wales, I love a bit or National Hunt and have recently discovered the point scene. I’ve owned a few hooves in a couple of horses trained down here in South Wales, nothing overly sexy, mostly for punting purposes tbh. Weirdly, I’ve never watched any of them run live, basically because they run in shit races 200 miles away on a Tuesday and I mostly know they have no chance!

Anyway, thanks for welcoming me into the FJ fold
