[mightyrooster]

RWB Your memory is sharp and your post hit the nail right on the head The pick me up and hope he has given myself and family along with my other owner ( during those Covid times especially) and a period where both of us had in the last year lost parents He gave us hope and something to look forward to We could have sold him and made substantial profit this time 4 years ago But as my other owner and Mrs Walker pointed out is this really about money neither of you need it This is about family and friendship My other owner and I have been friends since we were kids over 40 years So yeah the horse comes part of the family. Finally thanks for the positivity at the end I read it all yesterday when I waa flat Maybe you can get your Christal’s out snd manifest Taramansour another win

Rad, I will still keep an eye out for any of Taramansour’s upcoming races over the offseason. I’ve just sent the link to the PC to my brother in law now as for obvious reasons I never did get around to it on the Sunday afternoon. He is able to drive small distances now since his stroke as that was a few years back now but his son in law or one of my nieces will still drive to Flemington or Caulfield. They even take the little one who is turning 5 in March. I remember sending you a photo of her when she was a newborn. She loves getting dressed up for the races and has more handbags than me it seems. Speaking of, if anyone gives you a hard time or calls you dramatic when you are speaking from the heart about anything related to your family, send me their names and I’ll give them a metaphoric thump with MY new handbag. I don’t like cruel or callous behaviour whether it’s directed at me or anyone else in my chosen circle. Looking forward to further successes for our chosen horses and Roosters.

2026 will be our best year yet.

The plan is for Taramansour to go to Tasmania for the Hobart and Launceston Cup in February I think he’s having a trial either next Tuesday or the following not sure if he will race before those races in Tasmania

Rad, I just got an alert from Racing Victoria on my Facebook feed about the bushfires and hope Tara and the other horses are ok. .

Damn this wretched heat all over the country.

Thanks for the above update too and I'll keep an eye out. My Goddaughter said she loves a good underdog story and they enjoyed watching the replay.

Just looked up the Hobart Cup and that's Mum's birthday, Sunday 8th February.

The Launceston Cup is Wednesday 26th Feb and that's one of my days to work from home so I'll be able to tune in.

It will be soon time for you to once again get those crystals of yours out and manifest a victory for Taramansour

I will do so as Taramansour's Crystal Fairy Godmother. I take these duties very seriously.

Keep my Godchild horse safe and well hydrated please in this heat.

I found some new shows for you to watch but will post them in the appropriate threads.

Now it would also behoove you to say 'please' once in a while..

I found this diamond art piece which I shall be ordering from these lovely ladies in Kempsey. As I am a delicate, sensitive, genius I will be needing peace and quiet and no negative vibes from you over the next month whilst Taramansour and I do our prep work. He doesn't like it when 'Dad' is naughty to his fairy crystal Godmother and that's not good for any of us. We can't be depriving our friend Random from further Rose Bay Chinese dinners with his family.

Check out the jockey colours....the cap is green and not gold but this was a very close match:

I'll check in again in February for the Tasmanian races and I've saved the dates for the ones you mentioned. Tomorrow is my last day of holidays so take care until then Rad and don't get into too much mischief whilst I''m at work...

Just remember..

[Duchess_of_Bondi]

Thanks for the well wishes and thank Bernie for those crystals Sometimes magic happens.

What a day yesterday was I be honest with everyone I thought Taramansour was finished as a race horse After his previous run I was happy for him to be retired Even before yesterday he’s has been good to us We love him like family So much so one of the girls we know at the pub when finding out he’d Ron said Your son won for you

Before the race yesterday I was unusually quiet trained at the gym in the morning and just sat at home with the family I got a bit emotional an hour or so before the race as I thought this would more than likely be his last race I said as much to the family but added you never know if he turns up and runs his best he would just z about win I had a 50 dollar free bet so I put that on him at 30/1

Before the race he was bright and acting like his quirky self in the yard and going to the barrier The run before he was quiet and subdued I kept saying look at him he’s bright and happy today you just never know.

During the race ( I sort of go into my own bubble or little world ) I was happy and when took off I turned and said here we go we are going to be right in this at the 600 that turned into OMFG I think he’s going to win Down the straight I and I think we were all screaming GO TARA GO TARA just inside the 100 I knew he was going to win and was jumping up and down like a mad man when he hit the line I turned around to see the whole family on their feet doing the same Wild scenes of jubilation god knows what the neighbours thought A minute or two after the race I cried He’s been with us for so long through all the highs and lows of life he’s also given us highs and lows and highs The horse I identified in Ireland some 6 years ago initially finally won a Cups race when I’d pretty much given up on it ever happening

Taramansour taught or reminded me a few things yesterday. First is You are never too old Second sometimes wheb things seem dark or desperate the light is just about to shine again Third Never ever give up

Also thanks Randy and Horrie for your messsges Randy I hope you and the family enjoyed the Chinese

Finally I’ve attached a replay of yesterdays race

Thanks again for speaking from your heart Rad. As someone who has known you for all of your daughter's life, I always appreciate this side of you. Please continue to be yourself and your real friends will always have your back no matter what. It's called mental fortitude and loyalty.

I do take what you say seriously and am always putting great memories likes these in the bank. Who knew what was going to happen the next day on the beach just 27 hours after that amazing run from Taramansour? Life's too short..

I am not bothered about this week. 1700 I expect is too short for him. Id be happy with a nice 4th Hobart Cup is the main goal in two weeks ( although you always want to win this just doesnt look his race) I was unaware they had brought the race time forward to negate the heat Good move by the club

Yes I saw it was moved from race 10 to race 1. It's better to get it over with and the heat in Melbourne doesn't kick in until around 3 to 5pm usually so let's take our blessings where we can.

I've still put $10 on for a place as I've started to do. I'm starting to get race day superstitions just like my match day ones LOL..I've never seen such a small field however.

My boss sends her best wishes too. I used my crystals for something work related just 2 days ago and she messaged me today to say how astounded she was at how powerful I can be when I go into the zone.
Hobart Cup is Mum's birthday like I mentioned before. I had a dream about her on Monday night and it was about numbers in notebooks and Melbourne. When I looked up the listings the next day, I saw the Caulfield race. She was telling me to look for a Melbourne race. I saw the number 50 in her handwriting in a book. Let's see what happens..Good luck my friend..

The race was not moved from race 10 to 1 Those were just the nominations which were extended where it was showing the 10th race. It is Race 1 due to the small field so run it early as there wont be a great deal of betting turnover so they run it first. 1700 is too short and he is giving weight away to horses I think are faster than him over 1700, but there is a very good reason he is running in this Dont waste your crystals for this Saturday Save them for Hobart Cup

Ok as when I was looking on Tuesday afternoon at work it said the last race being 10 and late in the afternoon. Then when I looked again, it showed the earlier race. I've put the $10 anyway and let's see what happens. Once when I was still at the old place, I put $20 on him on a Sunday afternoon, deliberately did not watch, went for a Heartbreak Hill walk and came back to see he'd done well and I won something. Can't remember exactly what the win was but I do remember not wanting to watch just to see what would happen.

I have a new kind of cyrstal to work with, recommended by someone who does this for a living and it's an alexandrite crystal bracelet in purple. I've been working with it all week and need it for another matter as well, so if it works for that, then it's coming out for Hobart Cup for sure.
