Get on Palais De Louvre good thing from one.
Sooooooo Close Paul. I thought Australia's best named horse had got up
Close at it gets. He gave us chance to yell our heads off again. We happy.
You know what I think mate... love that brave little horse of yours... time to get the photo finish camera recalibrated me thinks!!!!
It does not seem right for Palais to be beaten by a Larrakeyah mare when he is the sole advertisement going for Safe and Sound. He is pretty much the only thing keeping U313 going too Paul - that is until his siblings hit the track ;)
U313's from the past include Norms Daughter, Just Too Good, Uncle Joe, Walla Walla
He's got 3 siblings Kev and one hopefully on the way soon. He was the mares first.
The second a filly by Life Sign. Born just after sunset. First thing did was touch electric fence. For sure fried part of her brain! She nearly made races. Scratched from first race and that was it. Didn't want her bringing shame on the family! Stuck with the Mona Lisa naming with her. They say painting has 'Life' like smile. So called her Gheradini (supposedly the lady the painting is of). Waste of a good name! Should have stuck with original choice - Mrs Nuckenfutz.
Then 2yo filly by Bettors. Had couple setbacks but goes along ok. No hurry. Figure Mona Lisa names not work for fillies. So take different tack. She got freezbrand with VVV. Cracked up when saw it. Met 'triplev' from forum on trip Sydney. Converts to 777. 3 x 7s on an old one arm bandit meant you hit the jackpot. Goes by the term trip sevens. So name was easy. TRIP SEVENS (a bettors delight!).
And a yearling by Rocknroll Heaven. He's a nice looking beast. Big as his mum. With the big arse like his brother. And a 'Western Hanover' white sock that he is a perfect aim with. Not named yet. I spent my 'wasted youth' listening to "Bat Out Of Hell". That was RocknRoll Heaven to me. His mums (The Perfect Mona) name also sounds like 'The Perfect Moaner'. After performance at AFL Grand Final few years back thought had his name. But trainer said no way he training a horse called MEATLOAF!!
Would love another Palais Du Louvre. Had all the ups and downs and thrills and disappointments and injuries and comebacks with him. Nearly 8 years since he born here and been a wonderful adventure for me and Luke and all connected. Dunno where came from. U313, Safe and Sound? Who knows? Me thinks mostly from him wanting to do it and the hard work and commitment of our trainer.
Paul you have a real talent for naming horses but I am glad the second foal did not make it to the races with her original choice of name :eek:
ps Palais is a wonderful advertisement for Leigh Miles ability
This is a new thread generated for researching the posts not deserving of a thread.
There are a collection of these non deserving posts which in themselves have made up a thread/threads.
I will be combining posts on this thread to see how many threadless posts have been made which do end up making worthwhile threads and whether they should be made into thread earlier for ease of reading.
Naturally there are one off posts which do clearly fit into the character and spirit of the one or two off posts not deserving a thread and this should not be considered an end to this worthwhile, I think addition to the board...The posts not worthy of a thread.
TeeCee
It surely does happen TC but can you give them a name that says where they came from and also what they are about. Eg for this one I would call it
Worth a Thread - Palais du Louvre
Another good run by Palais du Louvre tonight, he might have finished 5th but he did not lose an inch of ground to Keayang Cullen in the last 800 coming home in 55.3
Another excellent 2nd tonight, unfortunately nothing wanted to get close to La Machane in the lead which made her impossible to catch
Great run and what dedication you guys have for Trigger! Go Go Go Trigger :)
Well done tonight Paul. Well deserved win.
Congrats PH, Long overdue and well deserved.
Good one Paul, Congrats
Congratulations Paul, great run Palais.
Congratulations Paul, very well deserved!
Thanks everyone. He went super. Leighs done a magnificent job with him. Just got home. Beer opened, feet up and time to watch the replay. Cheers!
Hope it is the start of a picket fence Paul
Just watched the replay a very good run and drive. Well done to all.
Thanks Ash!
Hangover???
"Stewards opened an inquiry into an injury sustained by Palais Du Louvres owner during the 66th replay of the tab.com.au pace at 2am Saturday morning. The owner could only provide a hazy recollection of events. He stated that when going for a run between the couch and the recliner on the way to the fridge for another beer he commenced to hang in and contacted the coffee table causing him to become unbalanced and gallop for a few strides.
A subsequent examination revealed bruising to the nearside front. The owner has been stood down from future engagements until a certificate of soundness is produced."
Hahahaha :)
Gold!!!!
We lost the remote control Ron. Tipping his Mum hid it. But we found the repeat button on the player thingo so no need for a remote!
There's lots of negatives posted on here about the game all the time. Not knocking anyone but trust me... I don't care if it's an R0 at Broken Hill... there is nothing like it! The best feeling ever!
Well done Paul on the win. And, great banter with some of your posts in this thread.
Superstar
Well done Paul! What a ripping run. Leigh has done a superb job.
Fantastic Win, Paul & Luke would have been cheering long before the winning post. Congrats Guys.
Some great performances today but YUN stole the show...ripper performance. Was waiting for him to start putting in some short steps, but not tonight. Gapped them. Congrats Paul, Luke and family. And Ellen Tormey, great drive and understanding of the horse.
No wonder Lance is retiring Trigger, congrats Paul
What a lovely horse,one every owner would love.
Would i be right saying the best horse out of Safe and Sound ?
Hi Amanda, Correct, Fastest and Richest performer by Safe and Sound.
