Thanks for this, Aaron. First, it looks wonderful and everyone seems to be having a lot of fun. You probably know they race on the beach at Laytown, south of Dublin, once a year. This is an official meeting under the Rules of Racing and while you won't see an Aidan O'Brien superstar, they do get a decent quality of runner and British trainer Jamie Osborne raided the meeting with some success last year. They race further from the tideline than at Castlepoint - this is an Irish Times video which sets the scene: As I can't find any mention of it on Loveracing, I'm going to assume Castlepoint isn't officially recognised - in my part of the world, that's known as "flapping" and in theory anyone licenced who takes part or even attends a flapping meeting can be banned or fined but it seems, as you might expect, it's much more easy going in NZ.  

Thanks Alf let’s hook up in a comp one day and give them a taste of AL F

Now you are being a dick...as usual...there are varying degrees of bleeding...a bleed like POJ had previously being the most severe type....most if not ALL who bleed like that get one or two maybe a few runs but go again...thats why bleeders race on lasix in the US....you are rally starting to annoy me...twisting things as you always do...you are fast wearing out your welcome here....

Well deserved on all fronts John - nice work!

Well I guess it's a kiwi aussie thing . Cheltenham much easier to listen to and more accurate . There's two or 3 north island commentators that go better on mute.   

Good to see at least one Alf doing well - Nice work Alf ielding 🤓

Nice work, and all that while doing the scoring for today and the overall score as well. Amazing stuff.

Final Standings after pool play The scorer finishes the final round with two quinellas to nab 2nd place today and to finish as the Minor Premiership winner (and finish the day with a full wallet). Jayar and Al Feilding round out the top 3 spots. The top 8 get a bye next week - no need for you to submit picks. The rest of you need to post next week.   Those of you in 9th to 24th place have a much better chance of progressing in the comp than those below 24th.

https://cales.arizona.edu/classes/ans142/readings/causesofbleeding.htm#:~:text=Endoscopic examination of the airways,horses during racing or training. Endoscopic examination of the airways of horses after racing reveals a 95 percent incidence of bleeding in horses examined at least two times.  Bronchoalveolar lavage studies (washing of the lungs) suggest that hemorrhage occurs in essentially all horses during racing or training.  Complete recovery from an episode of bleeding might take four to six weeks, depending on the severity of the condition.

BS all horses do not bleed some do that is correct but not all. I have raced a couple and once they bleed outwardly they mostly always are prone to it again....but hey you have probably raced maybe one share in one horse that you did not even pay the trainer for...but hey you will no doubt run back to your pit with SLB loser and say how great you are ...but thats fine...for me we do the right thing by my horses and I would never run one after they have a bleed...its not worth the risk...it will in all probability just be a matter of a few runs and WILL happen again.

Not especially unusual situation for busy people with a fair amount of $$$ who have others "looking after" their money. For example a large number of successful rock stars have been through the same thing. The agent pockets his % but doesn't take care of the important things.

All horses bleed when they race.  It is part of tbe physiology of the equine animal. What Pride Of Jenni has proven is that with the right care, treatment and training a horse can come back successfully. She won well.  Picks up another Grp race and in a way dispels any doubts about breeding from her.  

As we know the paddock can be just as dangerous as the race track, what would one say if she had a nasty one of those, and dont worry they happen more than one thinks, we don't own her, or are privy to how of if she enjoyed semi retirement, one start at a time, she'll tell them if it's time, a lot of what ifs when it comes to bleeders, some have another one, some never again, personally don't think its anything to do with being greedy, but each to their own opinion.
