Apology accepted, G2D. I gave your post 5 stars as an acknowledgement.
I never did work out who the other person was that you thought had treated me badly on here. |

Yep he was a true Champion Guinness .. loved the horse .. me & my mate were still hammering fruit machines back then & he'd just walk up to the counter & whack a few grand on ... fun times!

He disappeared when i came back. Not hard to work oot...

I loved him too. They don't come along too often..

By:
Oh, I thought he was ok to me. I must have missed something. Never mind.

I loved Istabraq, too. Very moving to hear the crowd applaud Istabraq as Charlie Swan pulled him up in the CH, even tho' some would have lost their money on him. They loved their Champion.
Valiramix lost his life in that race. I was distraught  Istabraq has been blessed with a long life a happy retirement, that is sadly denied to many. |

My worst memory of Cheltenham was seeing Gloria Victis pay the ultimate price when Looks Like Trouble won the Gold Cup that year, tears in my eyes.
|
|
By:
AP was inconsolable that day, he was not only upset that Valiramix had lost his life, he said that Valiramix was going to be his Desert Orchid
|
|
By:
The day Gloria Victis died was one of the worst days of my life. Never before have I been so upset at the death of an anilmal that didn't belong to me.
I'm supposed to be going to bed  |

I'm finding it difficult to get excited about cheltenham this year. A lot of very good horses missing this time around, especially Vautour who is sadly no more. That round of jumping in last years Ryanair was about as good as it gets, simply breathtaking.
As for this year I can't have Cue Card at all, priced up because it was tanking down the hill in the gold cup last year. The horse isn't in the same form this time around. Hopefully Nigel Twister Davies has a winner. He has the best rolled up racecard whip action in the business. Folks would pay good money to be spanked by that majestic whip action. I just hope itv don't miss the start of the first race tomorrow. On air at 1pm and by the time we've met all their gravy slurping staff the tape will be nearing release. I've heard alice plunkett has moved her bed complete with cue card coloured duvet cover into the tizzard stable for the week. Best of luck all. |

The 10-time champion jockey Sir Tony McCoy is being immortalised in bronze for a new statue at Cheltenham Racecourse.
The life-sized statue will be unveiled on the opening day of the Cheltenham .... Dublin-based sculptor Paul Ferriter is creating the artwork for the north entrance to the racecourse. Quite right too.... richley deserved |

Setting off in half an hour. There for the next three days, giving Gold Cup day a miss this year.
I hope River Wylde can get the meeting off to a winning start. Good luck to punters, owners, trainers, jockeys and especially horses. |

Have a great time, Fenway.
Two non runners. Antony in the 2.50 and Colin's Sister in the 4.10. Colin's Sister has picked up a small injury. Sonko will be so disappointed I've done my exercise, been to town, and I'm now watching The Morning Show.... whizzing through the adds. Hoping to fit in Broadchurch before racing starts. It's all go here! |

Ruby Walsh still excited even tho' he doesn't have such good rides as usual on day one.
He says if he can ride one winner and go home on the flight that he's booked, that will do him. Good man, Ruby, and good luck |

I went there once, never again. I would rather sit in a doctor's waiting room.
