Spade_Cooley 9,528 Posted January 1, 2022 Chalk me up as another Billy Turner DDP picker. Seattle Slew was the first (and still one of only two) racehorse to win the Triple Crown while undefeated, was never any doubt he'd QO. Apparently they expected him to have weeks to live on Wednesday, which changed to days on Thursday, and then changed to hours on Friday morning, so it seems he came off the pace in the final furlongs.

Joey Russ 7,228 Posted January 4, 2022 I keep checking and weirdly despite an AP obit being available for Billy Turner it doesn’t look like any QO has covered him. Perhaps his death is a blessing in disguise for the would be Turner pickers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Youth in Asia 1,087 Posted January 11, 2022 Sad news for the Queen: Ivor Herbert, the racing journalist, trainer, bon vivant and friend of the royals has died aged 96. Though his own riding career was curtailed after twice breaking his neck, the Old Etonian ex-Coldstream Guards officer shone as an amateur trainer and trained the winner of the 1957 Cheltenham Gold Cup. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-10388597/EDEN-CONFIDENTIAL-exotic-dancer-tore-strip-critic-Giles-Coren.html 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ulitzer95 12,638 Posted January 11, 2022 This “sad news for the Queen” shite that the tabloid press keep pushing every time someone she knows dies is becoming tiring, and just as silly as the “Sad Last Days” Enquirer headlines. The Queen literally has thousands of people who have made some kind of impact in her life. So many that it’s almost impossible for a normal person to comprehend in their mind, because she’s shook more hands and had more 2 minute conversations than anyone else in the entire country, ever (maybe even the world). The death of her sister’s lady of the robes and an obscure journalist is the type of shite that will make her say “oh dear, that’s a pity”, not something that’s going to set her back. All of her close family and confidantes are younger than her. Their deaths WOULD affect her. Now if someone like Charles predeceased, that probably see her out, but it’s not likely to happen. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, but its great news for folk who might pick these obscure notables in deadpools and need a QO. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
