THURSDAY'S THE GO!

Earlier today Gerald nominated KW for both a trial on Tuesday and a race start at Wyong on Thursday.

Just got off the phone to Gerald: he favours a start at Wyong on Thursday.

Jockey to be confirmed but looks like we go straight in to the fray. And who better to succeed for us but A Warrior?!!

More soon,

Graham

About the Name

"Khamsin" is Arabic for "fifty" and is the name given to the hot, strong, violent winds that sweep across the Sahara Desert from Libya and Egypt for about 50 days each year.

In 'Khamsin' by Clinton Scollard he says about the wind,

'It blasted the buds on the almond bough,
And shrivelled the fruit on the orange tree'
'The tiny fledgling died in the nest;
The sick babe gasped at the mother's breast.
Then a rumour rose and swelled and spread
From a tremulous whisper, faint and vague,
Till it burst in a terrible cry of dread,
The plague, the plague, the plague.
Oh the wind, Khamsin,
The scourge from the desert, blew in'

There is also a "Maserati Khamsin" Italian sports car
