    Read somewhere today you should never buy a horse with four white socks....

    Guess that rules out buying Frankel

    My dear old dad, a Scot, used to wear shorts with long white socks doubled down just below the knee. He considered himself quite the dapper gent. :)

    One white foot, buy him.

    Two white feet, try him.

    Three white feet, look well about him.

    Four white feet, go without him.

    A similar old adage I grew up with is :

    4 white socks, keep him not a day
    3 white socks, send him far away
    2 white socks, give him to a friend
    1 white sock keep him to the end

    An old hunting hand-me-down from the days when horses were expected to work hard and often in the worst of the winter's going, and horses with white legs can seem more prone to conditions like mud fever. . . . .

    My Tent or Yours has got 15 rivals in his 'bumper for jumpers' at Kempton Park on Sunday (4.40). Should be a penalty kick but people its his 'prep', don't forget, the main aim is to bring him on for Cheltenham.

    I know im going against mr stick but if morris can push his next mount all the way I can see busy bimbo placing or even winning at 8s ew for me I have watched busy a few times and think an assertive jockey is what the bimbo needs for the first win
