Breaking News-Catch my breath rides again

92 Replies

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

i've posted a million for a place at third. I do not trust a favorite for first place. A trifle of a bill to help me relax.

skischool profile image
skischool in reply to mellyme

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🐴🐴

skischool in reply to Margaret_craft

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.....:)

Worried Ski's under pressure xx

I will put a pound each way skis, just in case CMB doesn’t romp home. But I know he will. 👍xx

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

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"(?) 💞

skischool profile image
skischool in reply to SquirrelsHolt

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

SquirrelsHolt profile image
SquirrelsHolt

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!!!! 🏇💞💞

skischool profile image
skischool in reply to SquirrelsHolt

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.

skischool profile image
skischool in reply to mellyme

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.

sleep well cousin across the pond....:) x

sleep well too. Not nice what happened to Nice.
