Was looking to put a wee bet on the French racing tonight and looked at the 18.57 race at Pau.  All 14 horses still listed as going have names that begin with the letter "G".  Even the non-runner's name started with a "G".
Never seen this before.
C'est dificile a choisir 
 
Just seen the 17.47 race is the same - all horses names start with a "G".    Any horsey experts on P & B able to offer any reasons why ??   Maybe lucky or seen as a trait in France ??

18:57 will blow your mind.

I'm obviously missing the significance here.  Apologies for being a spud.   The only thing it will do is reduce my funds available for a wee punt tomorrow or later in the week.

They did show the trotting (weird shit) from France at the bookies and in one race all the noms de chevaux started with E.

I saw one race & was wondering why pas de chevaux gie it laldy.  It was like dressage on a track.  Strange how they set up races with tous les chevaux have noms avec la meme lettre d'alphabet.

Oooooh, les francaises

He's deid what are you on about

Lately, the spambots have been copypasting random posts from other sites to pretend they're a real person.

At 800+ posts, @Theroadlesstravelled has put some serious work in before being rumbled for quoting celebrity gossip from 2009  :blink:

I was under the impression it was Cerberus?

Who to be fair used to post pictures of women scraped off google image search and pass them off as his girlfriends. Turing test time.

Really?  :lol:

Maybe he's going the other route and trying to pass himself off as a bot.

The spambots can be quite good company. I have to post some very boring videos online for work. As soon as they go on they get robot comments like "great video" "great content - can't wait for more". Stuff like that. No idea what they're hoping to achieve but I appreciate their kind words. Unless they're being sarcastic.

Are the trotting races the ones where they have that frame linking the horses' front and back legs so they can't break into a gallop?

Aw thanks Gordon! I always liked Meadowbank, though I did miss John Watson's league-winning goal against you as I'd gone for a pish.

No carriages, just trotting horses.  I think one was disqualified in the race i saw for galloping.  Must be like the olympic walking races where you get disqualified by a track judge for "running".  Weird doesn't cover these races.

I only recently noticed that [mention=22050]Jacksgranda[/mention] wasn't called Jack's Granada. Thought he was a Ford enthusiast.

Always wondered how little he thought of his actual kid that instead of naming himself insertnameheresDa he went with JacksGranda. Seems harsh.

No I think she's gone. Anyway I'll try to summon her in case I'm wrong.

I like to eat blueberry muffins.

If you changed that last word to waffles, the pervert bugle would go off in a couple of posters heads.
