Can't decide on a horsie tomorrow? Let me and my trusty darts and blindfold help you. Theres 24 to choose from. You say go and I'll shoot for one. Giddy up.

That's actually the one I'm going for tomorrow. Hahaha.

[–] Eagle@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I have no idea who is even running!

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

Me neither until I turn the little notes over πŸ˜‚

I'd like the horsies to have their own party in a nice field where they can chill out with delicious grass. Maybe a sneaky horse cocktail.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago

Some horsies love the thrill of the chase. That's why some are called race horses and some are called paddock horses.

I’m in. Go!

Edit: In the name of name Deadpool and Wolverine.

Let’s fucking go!

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I bullseyed that one.

*The Map

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Odds for The Map are 51 dollars. Going to win it rich!

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

It's been done before.

This one has been scratched - failed the vet check

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah that's why I shot again. So far that's the only one.

You want me to shoot for you?

[–] TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Yes please. I don't usually bet on the cup but this is too too tempting. Let the darts decide!

I think that one has been scratched. Not a good start for you. Don't worry I've chosen again.

*P.S. The kid doesn't understand scratched. I should've explained to her.

Don't hang that board next to a gas line and don't ask me why I know.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh shit!!!

It's sitting on a chair near the front door. I swear the cushion only got stabbed once but the dog keeps getting close.

Can I interest you in a shot?

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You score 100 if you get the dog….

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's gonna cost more at the vet. πŸ˜”

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It’s only a risk if the dog deflates.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah he's a tough dog. He'll yelp but he still won't get out the way.

[–] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Am I too late for one? GO!! (please)

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Oooh. Thank you! Cool name. What's the jersey like though?!

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

Looks to be white with blue and white stripe sleeves. Nice.

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Hey Ceo.

Have you drawn a horse for yourself?

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

I like #2 Buckaroo but fairs fair and I shot

Which I think is another favourite.

[–] anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I don’t even know who’s running. Go!

May your horse come in!

[–] PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Why not, not like it's actually gambling or anything (which I'm mostly hopeless at)... GO!

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Thankyou. If my MIL runs a sweep tomorrow I'll pick that one.

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

hey, let's have a go. :)

and I'll put a tenner on to win or place

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Each way? You courageous soul.
