Chosen Comrade runs in the Listen Mares Novice at Punchestown tomorrow. They have just called an inspection due to the forecast rain (and wind) - it is not looking good. We were very hopeful before so, hopefully, it will be on or rescheduled this week. I will spend the evening looking at flight...

Good luck, Eddie. It makes sense to run in this race; it always cuts up. The conditions probably need to change going forward - it seems a long time since the likes of Teahupoo won it. On a line through Jacko Star, he doesn't have a tremendous amount to find with Positive Energy, who...

It's been an anxious week, but we have given Chosen Comrade the green light to start her hurdles career at Limerick tomorrow. It takes a village....... — Cheltenham Dream

Inspired by Shergar Cup and the Grey Horse Handicap, I have decixded to come out of a self-imposed four month hibernation. This is the inside story of why we bought Chosen Comrade (and why we didn't buy a few others). Photos and videos, and maybe some horses to track for the 25/26 NH season. I...

Thx for letting me know Try this one It's good to choose your comrades.... — Cheltenham Dream

Christmas in Leopardstown - nothing better (as long as you can see the horses). Suprise Package goes in the 2.20 tomorrow The Non-Indulgent Blog — Cheltenham Dream

I think Danny means 'long-standing', but yes, I am feeling pretty confident.

Suprise Package back over hurdles tomorrow (and going right-handed) A Holiday Gift — Cheltenham Dream

In a shameless attempt to appeal to a broader demographic, Taylor Swift appears in the blog. Suprise Package hopes to shake off his latest display. Can we shake off our last run? — Cheltenham Dream

Suprise Package surprisingly got into the Petingo at Leopardstown tomorrow. He has never been as well; not so sure about his owner The longest ten minutes............ — Cheltenham Dream

We have decided to retire Freedom to Dream from racing; it is clear that his heart (or, more likely, his head) isn't in it any longer. I bought him six years ago, and he has lived up to his name, winning his first hurdle, finishing 2nd in a G2, 4th in a G1, and 4th in the Martin Pipe. We have...

Thank you all for the tremendous support. How on earth did he go to 12.5? Now, onto a quick review, Freedom to Dream with a bit of swimming mixed in The Yin and Yang of ownership — Cheltenham Dream
