Post Horses Pronunciation
I thought i would give a quick heads up to the comms on some of my horses on how to pronounce them.

Vieux En Du Prix - View En Du Prix
Star Of Niamh - Star Of Neeve. Neeve rhymes with eve
Fianna Rosa - Feena Rosa, ros as in rose and a as ah
Mahknamovah - Mac Na Mow Va


These are the ones i thought may be tricky to pronounce.

Cheers, always handy to be given the heads up. I am sure I get loads wrong especially on days when Doug has left me one of his good bottles of Gin in the commentary box !

I'd like to also correct one of my horse's name

Not actually horse pronunciation, but you pronounced Carl Arrogante absolutely right. You pronounce the e at the end.

Great commentary, Doug. And I wasnt aware that it was your horse I was competing against before I saw the race again. That was a good fight. I am sorry my horse pipped you to it.
I was just very excited to get a win. :D

I'm glad I got your name right with the E :)
No worries about your horse winning - the best horse won and for me it is nice to see some of my flat horses being competitive early in the season which hasn't happened before.
I am confident your horse will win again :)
