So our little mascot rides again tomorrow and he is entered in the 16.10 race at Musselburgh .for your info and on behalf of the Scottish tourist board:
Musselburgh Racecourse is located only 6 miles to the east of Edinburgh city centre and serviced by excellent public transport links.
So the wee laddie will have no time for sightseeing in Edinburgh and needs to do battle against the likes of Geography Teacher who may teach him a lesson and Princess Florence(no zebedee is not his jockey)who is also his stablemate and it will be a well contested race over 1 mile and 1 furlong thingy and the last time i looked he is actually the favourite in the betting at 2-1
Wish him well and i am sure he will do his fan club on here proud and of course i will let you know if he is victorious.
Love Ski's and Scruff's who is still serving her substance abuse ban imposed by the cat jockey club. xx

Such a great fantastic funny cat picture. Almost gets me tempted to start getting involved with this racing lark. Nearest I will ever get to a horse!! Try to steer clear coz they like to

Thanks for the kind welcome, Carolina 🌸❤️🌸 I was on a flying visit to see my daughter and my grandchildren. All lovely, a happy day 🥰 Back home now. Hugs xx Penny xx
Morning Caro! Thanks. I’m off to mind my other, younger, grandies today, 5 n 2...it’s my regular Thursday job....so it’s all go. Manchester this time. Then home in time for an evening call from my son. Having quite a week! Trying not to think of tired...!! Ha! You have a lovely day too. Got a bit of sun here ☀️ Looking good! Love xxx
Hi Penny, Your a bit of a Globe Trotter I think, Having all the Grandchildren to look after, Keeps you Going doesn't it. I have just got home from my Thursday Exercise Class, she worked us hard as Monday No Class ( Bank Holiday). Yes Sun here also but thankfully lots Cooler. have a Relax when you Can Hun. Hugs. C. XXXX
Well a trotter....not sure about the globe bit, haven’t left the country for ages!!
Yes sun here in Manchester, I’m sitting out while the little one has a nap, just back from shop after buying little Arthur (5) a Lego magazine. OH trying to fix the fiddly little free toy with him!! Yes, they keep you young these grandchildren...but school’s back next week, so things should be a bit quieter....though not toooo quiet, I hope
Had a Problem replying, Can do it now. Yes, You do stay young with all the G/Children, But The Noise Level will decrease very Soon and Asda will be Noise Free Ha Ha. Have a Great Busy Friday Penny, (till next Week) Hugs C, XXXX
A wise decision mrmelley.a place is far more likely than a win though foolishly in a devil may care way i have backed him to win this time of course using Scruff's tuna coins... x
Loved the picture - somehow I think it says a thousand words. Now as for the gee gee, not sure how much of my shirt I can afford to loose, but a few buttons here or there or even a sleeve in this heat may prove an afternoons entertainment.
I'm going to put £5 on to win. It's a cert if he's running at Musselburgh skis. I was born and brought up in Musselburgh. It's a lovely little town, wish I was there right now. Will keep my fingers crossed. xx🐴🐴
Margeret.How wonderful and coincidental that you are a Musselburgh girl.that has made my day and i hope CMB romps to victory,but please just wager a pound for fun or i will feel the pain and guilt if he doesn't win.....
Anita,three of the best trainers this season on the flat are Gosden,Haggass and O'meara so have a close look at their horses if they have any entries as they may well be worth a punt or two.Have fun and i may have a 'Nap' later in the week but probably on the sofa..... xx
Love the picture Skis, looks like a typical Scuffs, your partner in crime. Good luck to our little mascot lets hope he comes galloping home and you win loads of dosh x
Morning skischool and I thank you for bringing us up to date information on our mascot Catch my Breath! I will be waiting with baited(or is it "bated") breath,shortly after 4.10pm today to see if we have our 🏆 first win!🐴🏇! If you are running a book (you see I'm attempting to learn the race horse lingo🏇🏇)you can put the Squirrel down for 10p for a place? Well ✔done if you understand all that but rumour has it,you are an exceptionally clever fellow,so I feel quite safe using you as my "tic-tac"(?) 💞
Squirrels you are very wise and have done your homework well,CMB son of Bated breath and whose Dam was called Likeable(she certainly was to his dad)unblinkered and without cheekpieces,some more terminology for you to learn,finally has a chance to redeem himself in slightly less exalted company.
Hush,mention not that you are conversant with "tic-tac" the secret language of our enemy the bookmaker and they will be on our case should they find out and not accept your 10p each way bet,though i doubt at 2-1 they would fear the payout.
Now calm yourself for what may well be the ride of our lives(not sure if that is quite the best metaphor for the occasion).............. xx
Oh yes 🎿 skischool mum's the word,my lips are sealed and those bookies at the racecourse,won't see 1 penny of my HUGE bet!😀
I've got my alarm set for 1600 hrs,so I can sit in my comfy chair,sherry in hand 😜 and having done some special breathing techniques prior to race off,which will see me giving CMB a really good vocal but if support! I've even got a bottle of plonk for the celebrations 🍷😀,so come on CMB, make us proud!!!! 🏇💞💞
Squirrels you are indeed a lady of class and style.The sherry to add a hint of respectability for such an occasion as if cheering on the hunt and plonk for us mere mortals at the other end of the social spectrum.Enjoy.......... x
Yes he's now a strong favourite at 11/8 but i trust not these devilish bookies and they are up to creating a false market though it may be because there was an overnight withdrawal of a fancied horse.....
He's a WINNER,bloody hell he made hard work of that but he came storming through the middle of the field in the last furlong nicking it by a half a length.for some reason although he is a chestnut by birth he looked distinctly grey today? Yippee break open the champers.... xx
I am insanely pleased, however I lost a bit in the transaction, just a mil though, no real money. I went for the third spot rather than taking my friend's guidance to win. Shame on me.
You catch me as i retire mrmelley,Scruff's already sleeps dreaming of future rides on our champion and my winnings were squandered on a French football team Nice who lost to would you believe it my nemesis Marseille who have inflicted previous pain upon me as you know.
Aye up Skis, My pony gave birth to a bundle of foals in Paddy Powers stable. So I plonked the pony on the winner of the first ranch at at my local course ,Worcester. Meat for dinner tonight
Congratulations,spend it wisely,i shall dine on veggies as my teeth don't do justice to meat these days and i also much prefer to see it walking around...
Oh Skis I’ve just seen this. I mentioned it to my husband and he said it won! He told me to tell you he backed Maggie’s Angel in the race before which won too!
Corin,i am very pleased for your hubby and i hope he backed both and is a double winner as i was when i backed Kitty's cove in the next race.raising a glass to your success.... x
Yes, that day sounds good. In fact not too far away, second eye op second week Sept, I think. I’ll put my feet up for two, maybe three, weeks then. Every cloud n all that....! xx
