Termonfeckin - location of former racecourse (closed 1900) which should ideally be on Craggy Island but which in reality lies about 35 miles north of Dublin in Co. Louth.

Wooden Leg - jockey Frank Wise, who won the 1929 Irish Grand National on Alike, rode the horse to victory wearing a wooden leg.

Blackstairmountain - novice chaser with Willie Mullins. Finished second in a Grade 1 at Punchestown last week.
Sometimes flatters to deceive in running having been beaten three times after trading at 1.01 on the exchanges. |

Camelot, favourite for Saturday's 2,000 guineas though his stablemate Power has arguably the best form in the race, shouldn't mind the ground and is a much better price.

East Winch - civil parish in Norfolk about 6m SE of King's Lynn & site of a former racecourse that closed in 1904 due to problems with consistently heavy ground.
In 1905 the occupying West Norfolk Hunt moved operations 20m east to the more beneficial surroundings of Fakenham. |

I know the place well. I used to go to what I call a "fleapit" auction there about 6 or 7 times a year in the village hall. Mostly junk but always some interesting items.
(It's mainly about pickpockets, Edward VII and whether or not the fences were too big in heavy going.) |

Heath, Lee - jockey who probably set a record when putting up 29lb overweight for an amateur riders' handicap at Pontefract in August 1999.

Kris. Cecil trained miler who won the St James Palace, the Sussex and the QEII as a 3yo in 1979 and sired the last English triple crown winner Oh So Sharp.

Levaramoss - late 1970s hurdler, a proper monkey who generally won if consenting to start.
A candidate for the slow count at a betting shop window whereby a punter hands over the bet just before the off, counts out his stake money very slowly then snatches it back and does a runner if the horse gets left. |

O' Brien Joseph who goes for the Newmarket guineas double onboard Maybe today who is as short as Camelot but appears to have stronger opposition.
