    MY LOVELY HORSE

    Win a share in a racehorse for a day!

    Here in the Claret & Blue Club our standards don't allow us to trot out the same tired old puns. We are committed to whipping you into a frenzy with this fantastic prize, but before we race away with ourselves, let's keep track of what's going on.


    Profile of the horse:

    Funatfuntasia is owned by the Claret & Blue Syndicate. He's 5 years old (but says he's nearly 6) and his favourite food is sugar lumps. He has raced 31 times, and has won 3 and been placed in 9 more. No donkey so! He has won prizemoney of €36,101 in his career - not bad for a 5 year-old.

    He was a nightmare to rear in the early years and was liable to stirrup trouble from time to time. It took a fine filly to tame him. He met her one Saturday afternoon in his favourite place - you guessed it - Funtasia! He asked her out and fell at the first hurdle, but they are now in a stable relationship. At the weekends he loves horsing around and going to visit the in-laws in Canterbury. When he grows up he wants to be Kauto Star or Red Rum.

    The Prize

    The winner of July's monthly draw will be able to sample the thrills and spills of owning a racehorse. When Funatfuntasia races again, you could be joining the other owners in the parade ring, rubbing shoulders with the movers and shakers in Irish racing. You'll be able to turf out your work clothes and don your best silks for the day. If you're lucky you might make it into the winners enclosure, and if the worst comes to the worst, you'll be able to join the syndicate for some fine cuisine in the restaurant.

    The Draw

    The winner will be announced at the Bray Wanderers match on July 17th in United Park. See www.claretandblueclub.com for more details.

    P.S. the author of the above has been arrested for crimes against humour. Hopefilly he will live to tell the tail.

    Seems like a real push to make money for the club recently. There are some really worthwhile draws and stuff. Some great prizes indeed.

    Thanks - we've just secured prizes of 2 tickets to Ireland v Italy in Croke Park and a voucher for the Crowne Plaza Hotel too. Local businesses are also offering discounts to our members, so hopefully it will all make the Claret & Blue Club worth joining. It's no exaggeration to say that if this initiative doesn't work, the club will probably not survive, so we'll be doing our utmost to make it a success. Thanks for the positive feedback.
