Peaky Blinders

[brainiac]

It's been mentioned several times that the horse that Tommy has bought with the intention of it running in The Derby is female - but surely female horses run in The Oaks, not The Derby? The Derby is for three-year-old males.

[tonyav]

I hadn't noticed the sex of Tommy's horse being mentioned, brainiac.

[mallyh]

fillies run the kentucky derby if thats any help

[Tilly2]

It's called Grace's Secret. A lovely name I think.

[tonyav]

And a clever one, Tilly.

[Tilly2]

Oh, yes. Yont. Very clever, is Tommy.

[Tilly2]

Last episode tonight, I think.

[brainiac]

But it can't run in The Derby if it's female!

[Tilly2]

Who says it's female? I'm sure Tommy and his trainer lady friend know what they're doing.

[Mamyalynne]

Have you a link that says the horse is female (in the programme)?

[tonyav]

In which episode was the horses sex mentioned, brainiac ?.


I will watch tonights episode on Sunday probably. I expect the 'Derby' to be a blood bath !.

[Tilly2]

....I hope the horse doesn't die.:-(

Don't put any spoilers on please. I won't be watching it until Sunday, either.

[tonyav]

I don't mean the actual horse race, Yilly.

[Tilly2]

I, know, Yont but the horse could be killed in the race or Mr Campbell, Sir! might nobble it in some way.

[tonyav]

Or Tommy might nobble other horses to make sure his horse wins !.

[Tilly2]

We'll see.

I meant Major Campbell ^

[tonyav]

I know, Yilly.

[Tilly2]

Have we sorted out the sex............ of the horse?

[aelmpvw]

i thought the derby was for 3 year old colts and fillies ...

[tonyav]

I honestly can't remember the sex being mentioned.........the horses that is !.
Although if it was mentioned it would most likely have been at the auction I think.

[Tilly2]

Braniac, you need to tell us why you think the horse is a lady horse.
