JUST FOR GAGS

This man was sitting quietly reading his paper one morning, peacefully enjoying himself, when his wife sneaks up behind him and whacks him on the back of his head with a huge frying pan.
MAN: "What was that for?"
WIFE: "What was that piece of paper in your pants pocket with the name Marylou written on it?"
MAN: "Oh honey, remember two weeks ago when I went to the horse races? Marylou was the name of one of the horses I bet on." The wife looked all satisfied, apologises, and goes off do work around the house. Three days later he is once again sitting in his chair reading and she repeats the frying pan swatting.
MAN: "What in the world was that for this time?"
WIFE: "Your horse called."

The tipster said this horse would walk in. It did, but all the others galloped.


I bet on a great horse yesterday! It took seven horses to beat him.


The horse I bet on was so slow, the jockey kept a diary of the trip.


That was the first time I saw a horse start from a kneeling position!


My horse was so late getting home, he tiptoed into the stable.


I don't mind when my horse is left at the post. I don't mind when my horse comes up to me in the stands and asks "Which way do I go?" But when the horse I bet on is at the Tote window betting on another horse in the same race...


A Preacher wanted to raise money for his church and, being told there were fortunes in race horses, he decided to purchase one and enter it in the races. However, at the local auction, the going price for horses was so steep he ended up buying a donkey instead. He figured that since he had it, he might as well go ahead and enter it in the races, and to his surprise the donkey came in third. The next day the racing sheets carried the headlines, "Preacher's Ass shows" The Preacher was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the races again and this time he won! The papers said, "Preacher's Ass out in Front" The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the Preacher not to enter the donkey in another race. The newspaper printed this headline, "Bishop Scratches Preacher's Ass" This was just too much for the Bishop and he ordered the Preacher to get rid of the animal. The Preacher decided to give it to a Nun in a nearby convent. The headlines the next day read, "Nun has the Best Ass in Town" The Bishop fainted. He informed the Nun that she would have to dispose of the donkey and she finally found a farmer who was willing to buy it for $10.00. The paper states, "Nun Peddles Ass for Ten Bucks" They buried the Bishop the next day.

What's the difference between praying in church and at the track? At the track you really mean it!

The chronic horse player paused before taking his place at the betting windows, and offered up a fervent prayer to his Maker. "Blessed Lord," he muttered with intense sincerity, "I know you don't approve of my gambling, but this once, Lord, just this once, please let me break even. I need the money so badly."

What is one of the hardest times to win a horse race? 12:31, because it is 29 to 1.

Did you hear about the guy who went to the races and while there he observed a Roman Catholic priest who went over to a horse and sprinkled it with holy water. The horse went on to win the race, streaking ahead of the opposition. Before the next race he saw the priest go over to another horse and sprinkle it with holy water. Like the first horse it went on to win its race. The guy said to himself that if the priest sprinkles another horse with holy water I am going to bet every penny I have on that horse. Sure enough, the priest went over to another horse and sprinkled it with holy water. So the guy went to a bookie and bet every penny he had on this horse. Then the race started and the horse that the priest sprinkled with holy water dropped dead about 100 yards after the start of the race. The guy was devastated. So he went over to the priest and said, "What's going on here? The last two horses you sprinkled with holy water went on to win their races, and this last one you sprinkled dropped dead after only 100 yards. I had put every penny I had on it's nose!" The priest replied, "You're not Roman Catholic, are you?" The guy admitted that he was not and asked, "But, how do you know that?" The priest said, "Because you don't know the difference between giving a blessing and administering the last rights."

REVIEW OF THE WEEK BY BUZZSTROM

Pune Season got off to a lackluster start, the best race of the week was Class I win of Rimpuche in the Ramakrishnan Rao memorial cup. fancied strongly by the punters in the ring, in a race which had an open look to it, with likes of Jersey Pride, Mark Of Gibralter, Sugar Ray, and Kyles Of Bute in the fray. Rimpuche runs well on the rails and the draw was not the best on the widest from the rails, Neeraj Rawal who as a jockey has always shown great potential but usually fails to live up to it, made a hash of Rimpuche's Chances right at the start over this sprint distance where initial speed matters a lot, Neeraj Rawal pplaying by the instructions rushed from the outermost draw to capture rails and thus lost a lot of ground running a backmarker.

Rimpuche's followers had their hearts in the mouth because at the turn Rimpuche was lying ninth and some 12 lenghts off the leader. Enchanting Girl showed out in the straight and seemed to break away, Sugar Ray and Mark Of Gibralter loomed large, and soon Sugar Ray took the lead with Mark Of Gibralter and Kyles of Bute trying to zoom to the winning post, it was at this time at 150 Marker, Rimpuche came with telling strides and simply out sprinted her rivals and romped home with utter disdain for rest of the field.

Rimpuche's turn of foot was devastating, coming from a virtually losing position in straight it was an effort that displayed a big heart of a horse and suggests another victory in store for her in near future. Neeraj Rawal must be thanking his stars for the wonderful response Rimpuche gave to his urgings after the really awful start that the horse got to due to his inept handling at the start.

In Pune Red Romeo was a most impressive winner over the week end, this wonderful colt is in fine nick and will win a lot of Class I races provided he remains fit over next three years. Amongst three year olds, 'Feona' ran a great race and flew away to a well earned victory, she justified the faith reposed by the punters by delivering at nourishing odds.

While on day one of Pune, one of the oldest trainers Ivor Fernandes lead in a winner after quite a while, on the second day it was a pleasure to see Ms Nazak Chenoy argubly the youngest trainer leading in Jaydev Mody's Enceladus...may she lead in many more winners.
