WHO ARE YOU??????

Hello ALL
I'm Emmanuel. Its pleasure being here. I was born and bred in Harare. I punt for fun and have been in racing for 5 years now. I am a professional accountant and used to be a professional soccer player before concentrating on my studies.
I have travelled many countries and my experience in Hong Kong 3 years back made me hooked up in Horse racing. Have been to Dubai World Cup and Im planning returning as the experience us just amazing and so thrilling. My long term goals are owning a couple of horses and having a GROUP ONE winner. My favorite tracknis Happy Valley and undoubtedly thats the track i have made more money on.

Welcome to the forum Emmanuel

Welcome Emmanuel enjoy

Time for a bump for some of our outspoken nameless posters to come clean

I would also mention we received communication from Barry Irwin over a year ago frowning on our nameless posters and one of the reasons for no more comments from him and his team

So give it some thought if you want to continue being controversial and post about others, have the balls to put your name here

Thank you

Hi all. My name is Andrew, a 32 year old lad originally from Harare. I am in legal advisory, professionally. Based in Durban, I frequent Greyville, though quite a few racecourses have played host to me. I have a keen passion for horseracing, and perilously like a moth to an open flame, I am drawn to punting as well. My love for horseracing sometimes catches me out in real life, infusing horse related phrases into everyday parlance. Favorite horse is Ipi Tombe, for the simple reason that she defied rather ordinary bloodline, modest beginnings in Zimbabwe, to have a stellar racing career, not least destroying a decent durban july field under kevin Shea, making it in Dubai & setting alight the churchill downs track.

I love engaging on anything horse related, whether it is a basement grade handicap in the fibresand of Southwell or the Pegasus world cup, so this is home for me. Even more exciting knowing folks here in these neurotic times for our industry. happy punting to you all, remember to always cut your coat according to your cloth when having a flutter. Cheers.

Hi

My name is Gerald Francis.I am 54 years and have been punting long before it was legal for me to take a bet. By day I'm a Director in Company called Boiothermenergy and Independant Power Provide and I mange the build and operations of all the company,s Wind Farm having trined and worked for GE Energy for many years abroad.

It was a childhood dream to won horses let alone win with them and I started off with 3 horses with a certain cape town trainer who basically took me for a ride.
I then got involved with a horse with Gavin Smith a few years ago and grew from there. Cloud Atlas and Story of my life being the most notable of my horses.

Due to partners not wanting to move Cloud Atlas to a bigger centre and Gavin Smith not wanting to provide a racing programme for my horses I decided to pull out of all my horses with him.

I know own shares in Dark Goddess with Greg Kotzen and Kewpie Doll with John Nel in Durban.

I punt almost everyday and enjoy nothing more than pulling off betting coups which I have done on a few ocassions.

I dislike trainers and jockeys that take chances with their info which in my opinion most of them do.

I think I was also one of the first owners to openly object about the Mayfair Speculators horses continuing to run after the Steinhoff collapse by penning an open letter to the useless NHRA and Sporting post.

I always honiur my commitments to trainers and jocks when I pull off a punt many of who on this forum can bear testimony to that.

That's me no ......straight as an arrow and no time for BS

Welcome to the Clan guys

Good posting and good punting
