I like Dick Turpin but also intrigued by Worthadd - can't imagine he's come from Italy just on a fishing trip. Should be a good race.

I like Midnight Interlude, but that's only from glancing through the form. Have not seen any previews and know very little about American racing, so obviously won't be having a bet.

Real shame about Juveigneur. I loved that horse when he was racing, remember seeing him win and be placed at a few Cheltenham Festivals.

SURFACE TO AIR, 8th in the Grand National retired after picking up a leg strain. Reading the owner/trainer comments on RP, sounds like he's very lucky to have connections like that. From the Racing Post SURFACE TO AIR, who finished eighth at 100-1 in the John Smith's Grand National this...

Thanks for the extra comments. Moehat, no probs with me, I'll take it as a compliment!

Am off to Lingfield, but will be e/w backing Killyglen and Niche Market. Also think both Tidal Bay and Character Building could run big races, but won't be backing them!

Thanks for the comments everyone. Pricewise - I upload mine to an external hosting site and then use the insert image link above to directly link the pics to here. Can take a while to upload to the other site, but quick transfer from there to here. Hope this helps.

He was before my time, but have seen his races on video. Lovely to hear he had a long and happy retirement.

Evening all. Thought I'd get a very small selection of mine posted first, then make way for the professionals! :D Enjoy. DAY ONE Captain Chris before the Arkle. Hurricane Fly and Ruby Walsh Khyber Kim and Paddy Brennan Peddlers Cross lost nothing in defeat...

Back to my triathlon training! 4 days at Cheltenham was my "break". Got to cover 70 miles in 9 and a half hours in June. That's something to focus on. But my idea of "fun" has always been warped!! :o) Plus just being thankful for being there rather than watching the Festival on the telly.

As far as the betting went... backed Buena Vista, Faasel and Fair Along each way so happy with those three. My mum gave me a fiver for her, I put it as £2.50 e/w on Holmwood Legend and walked back in with £125 for her! She was very happy and I am now in the good books. But nothing compared...

Thanks for that Kri - my memory is playing up! completly agree about the horses bravery.

I am well aware that racing can sometimes be a hard game, but had to re-read the report in the RP. Watching on TV, saw a horse pull himself up exhausted before the last and believed on 2 had finished the Eider. That horse was Morgan Be, who "stopped for a breather before the last", before...

Lol - the joys of cats! Our black cat regularly seems to enjoy dashing out and running down the stairs in front of us - especially on bleary eyed dark mornings. One day, she will have one of us over!

All the best to him in his retirement - hope it's a long and happy one.

So glad to hear it. Well done to the team who pulled him through and to Monet's himself for not giving in.

Killyglen. No idea why, am not informed in any way, but just thought I'd mention it so it's somewhere in writing! :o)
