You'll have a great time Archie. The beginner's chases at all three look very interesting as do the Conditions chase at Gowran and the Listed Bumper at Navan. Not to mention the Troytown which looks as competitive as always. Enjoy Dublin - if you fancy great Irish Music go to the the Celt...

It most certainly is not - Down Royal do a nice job with owners usually as well. Congratulations Archie.

Terrible news.

A bit overwhelmed by all the good wishes - thanks everyone. No idea where we go next but you will be the first to find out.

Thanks Grey. Yes, Peter's got four of their horses and seems very happy with them. Good result all around: nice run from Black Zambezi and a winner for Kevin Sexton. Good to see Gordon Elliott supporting him. Hope that gives him some confidence for tomorrow. Good people do stupid things; he'll...

Belated congratulations to Roddy - great win! Bay of Freedom is taking on some good ones at Wexford tomorrow - not overly confident. There wasn't anything else for a few weeks in Ireland so our hand was forced. He's in good form http://www.cheltenhamdream.com/blog-diary/

Thanks DG. Planning to go for the first time on 20/10 and then will only have 3 Irish courses still to visit. It looks like I should leave my suede loafers at home!

What is known as the "Buick" response!

Agreed Grey (and if I implied I thought Peter was overcharging then that was most certainly not my intention)

I decided to steer clear of that one :p

You're right DG and it is relevant. On reflection may have understated no. of horses/lad but also may have understated FTE's. It's still a poor return for such a successful yard and just makes you wonder how everyone else gets by. On a related note, it's alright to make money out of buying and...

The issue of how trainers make it pay has been on my mind this week, even before Colm Murphy’s announcement. Most trainers would tell you that there’s no money to be made from training and it’s only through buying and selling (or the occasional gamble) that any money can be made. I felt a...

Thanks for the congratulations everyone. A great day and some good stories: http://www.cheltenhamdream.com/blog-diary/

Over fences for the first time tomorrow and no idea what to expect (he has schooled well though). http://www.cheltenhamdream.com/blog-diary/

Good luck Eddie!

Thanks everyone. I am at a loss to explain his performance but had some fun with this blog entry; it's particularly appropriate for a website called TalkingHorses: http://www.cheltenhamdream.com/blog-diary/. If you have a choice of laughing or crying then just laugh!

Bay of Freedom tries three miles for the first time at Galway on Sunday. Peter's (Fahey) horses are running really well and the horse is in great form so finger's crossed. 20/1 looks tempting! http://www.cheltenhamdream.com/blog-diary/

Great article AC. Thanks for the link DG

Off to Bellewstown for the first time. Must have a decent e/w chance http://www.cheltenhamdream.com/blog-diary/
