A travelling salesman stopped alongside a field on a country road to rest a few minutes.

The man had just closed his eyes when a horse came to the fence and began to boast about his past. "Yes sir, I'm a fine horse. I've run in 25 races and won over $5 million. I keep my trophies in the barn."

The salesman worked out the value of having a talking horse, found the horse's owner and offered a handsome sum for the animal.

"Oh, you don't want that horse," said the farmer.

"Yes I do," said the salesman, "and I'll give you $10,000 for the horse."

Recognising a good deal, the farmer said without hesitation, "He's yours."


While he wrote out his cheque, the salesman asked, "By the way, why wouldn't I want your horse?"


"Because," said the farmer, "he's a liar - he hasn't won a race in his life."

:lol:

Best of luck Paddy! Your Ascot picks are in with a chance, but it is an open race.

Nice to see you’re still around Perth Placegetter, Ascot R8 turned out open as you suggested, and no I don’t want to know if you backed the winner at around 50/1.

Doesn’t matter anyway – I’M STILL CELEBRATIN !!! :grin:

Thanks BettyBoop for the Mr Prudent tip (picked I might add many weeks ago), certainly added value to my first 4. :wink:
