Well, guys, by popular demand.......... episode 2.

Ok, so now you will understand after my and everyone elses substantial winnings in the Ebor, we were all VERY keen to go onto the next winner,...I tried and tried but all I got was jibberish, until one night, with the same clarity as before; I got the word TORSO, now I don't know why but just this word frightened me, like as if it was en evil spirit, I don't know what but it was enough to make me stop this ouija board stuff.

Anyway about 2 months later I was visiting the local betting shop in Thornaby (the equivolant to your local TAB) it was a public holiday, with heaps of meetings all over the country, too many to bet at by far. I'd placed my bets and was leaving when I heard in "eerie steely voice" 9-2 TORSO (over the tanoy)......... not only did the hairs stand up but a cold shiver went from my neck to the tail bone.

I went back into the crowded shop, found the meeting amongst the dozens of newspapers on the boards, and there it was in a 2yo race with NONE of the starters having run before, TORSO.......... I approached the counter and emptied my pockets (can't remember how much) but chucked the lot on TORSO, a few minutes later it was off, 5 furlong race, over in a jiffy, with TORSO winning in a canter. I collected my winnings in a "daze"

I spent the next few months trying to invoke the same spirit but alas, never did........ well only once, when I asked the name of a Grand National winner,

it spelled out the name "Endeavour" .......... one year there was a runner called Wise Endeavour, on which I lost a small fortune, but every year I still look for a horse called "ENDEAVOR"

Now, sceptic or not , if ever it runs it will carry my HOUSE!
