Gary O'Brien true pro

A class act.

probably stayed on best after the interference

looked like it would have won without the carnage.

Would almost certainly have won, Gary did well to keep it together there; modesty and humility.

"Bellshill turned into Yorkhill"

that was classic from Matt

Bought the horse for 21K ...already won a big one and nearly copped the jackpot there....

gary got a few more quid,folsom blue now 4th, bellshill now demoted to 5th.

Been promoted to 4th ...

Extra 10,000 euros

4th €20,000.00 5th €10,000.00

I backed Bellshill in e/way treble with a couple at Cheltenham

4 places - Do Betfair pay on original result?

Terrific commentary. I didn't know where to look but he described the race perfectly despite his heartache at the last.

He also has the perfect tone to describe the action.

WD as always Gary.

a gentleman

Fine broadcaster - will he go to RUK when Irish racing does ?

I think he is 1.01 to do just that.

Excuse the intervention - But ...

Gary was not doing, "the commentary"  - that was Des.

Gary being just the Presenter on ATR, from the course.

Yeh, good old Des, who didn't mention Folsom Blue until past the line. Poor commentating.

To be fair to Des, my young son had picked Folsom Blue and with the Gigginstown batallions running it was far from easy to pick the horse out until they were turning for home.

FB isn't a Gigginstown horse !!

And my point was the most important race changing incident happened at the final fence, with the closing FB completely taken out by a horse broad siding him. And commentator made no mention whatsoever, even when FB was making ground hand over first in the final 100 yards !!

Des is long past his sell by date, he was unable to name most of the fallers yesterday. Tanya or Yates would almost be better.

I know it isn't a Gigginstown horse but the colours in yesterday's conditions were very similar. We were looking for the horse and struggled with the ATR pictures.
