Farewell Paris

[54Dogs]

Due to a change in personal circumstances Punting Board legend iluvparis will be leaving us next week for the foreseeable future. Paris has been the number 1 poster here for 10+ years and his knowledge (particularly of overseas form) has been invaluable to many who frequent these parts. Who could forget his declaration of Lys Gracieux as a Cox Plate moral from months out at double figure odds, a board fillup.

Not exactly a shrinking violet, the rule of thumb is that if you haven't had your opinion flamed by Paris, you haven't had an opinion. Many faint of heart have fallen by the wayside under a Paris barrage (vale Seth) but without opinions punting does not exist.

Thanks Paris for your unmatched contribution to this board and all the best going forward

A small parting gift below to remember us by......

Well said Dogs

Those that know, know

This is one of my favorite Train gifs that I posted specifically for iluvparis on AFL Bigfooty Punting Threads.

Let’s not forget Paris’ favourite goal kicker!

In all seriousness, thanks a heap iluvparis you’ve filled my pockets plenty of times. Your contributions here will be greatly missed.

The old sayings were wrong, we won't always have Paris

 

[Ah12]

Cheers for all your contribution to the board Paris. Gonna miss those early futures plays and reading through the flames was always a good laugh.

Given the Punting Board some epic fill ups & hopefully you go out with a bang if WAF can complete the double.

Farewell Paris. Thanks for your contributions on here over such a long period. You will be missed.

Going to a country that banned horse racing in 1945 and banned gambling on it in 1949 is very soft!

Enjoy your time there, I await our next arguments about Avilicat, Cylinder, Euro sprinters and Group 1 racing when you get back!

Good bloke. He'll be back.



This place is him. God bless Paris. You're a gun. Like Paris Lane. Winner of the 1994 Caufield Cup, runner up that year in the big one. I hope you can snag a big trifecta and quartet come Tuesday.

 

[HTPunter]

Awh. Pretty sure any of my big racing wins were tailing him. Come back soon.

Just if Liefsy was here to wish you a proper goodbye

 

[year of the cat]

Only visit these parts in Spring and Autumn but always entertaining to read the posts from Paris. Pound for pound one of the better posters on the entire BigFooty webpage.

Being Kim Il Jongs right hand man is a dangerous job, one wrong tip and his head is chopped off.

 

[pendlebury_10]

Does the new gig pay in local virgins?

All the best Paris you’ll be missed , it’s as if the punting board is INXS and your Michael Hutchence… except not into that kinky stuff
You’ll be gone and many will try replace but it’ll never be the same
Don’t be a stranger when you venture to Honkers and can jump online
We’ll never forget Lys G, SOR, Sir D, RW, Mer DG, Admire R, COGH….

Too many import fill-ups to post

 

[Matty_G]

All the best iluvparis I'll never forget carrying you in all those quaddies in the Covid comp

 

[hot dogs]

Long time lurker on the Punting Board and a big reason has been Paris' work. If your tips are going to be available anywhere I'd love to see them. Would happily pay to get access, as I genuinely think you're one of the best international form analysts out there.

Good luck with whatever comes next.

Prison doesn't have internet.

My educated stab.
