All experienced festival followers/punters have stories of the 'one that got away'....a horse that we knew we should have backed, or changed our minds on, and then it goes and wins at a decent price.

BOG WARRIOR.. I have been wondering all season will he come over but I think he might just do that if he's impressive again tomorrow. I just don't want him spoiling the party in the Arkle.
