Well actually I'm in the process of reading it KennyVictor.
Lesson 1 already learnt. Be careful how you carry out your parade ring inspection
As you know GH has concluded that signs of sexual behaviour reduce a horses expected chance of winning by 15%.
Well here I am first time at the mounting yard after flicking through the book (I normally flick through & then read in depth later). I'm thinking the direct approach is the best way to go, so as each horse goes past I look at them squarely in the eye, give them a wink & ask just loud enough for them to hear.....did you get any last night!??
Well! I can tell you...little reaction from the neddies, but the comments / looks received back from the strappers had to be heard / seen to believe
PS: if you're on the make, why not try the Paddy approach next time you're at the races......you might be pleasantly surprised
PPS: a pair of good running shoes is also highly recommended!
