    The Novice Hurdlers

    I am struggling to see why she is rated 141 when last time out she beat a horse rated 120 by one and three quarter lengths ? I like Jubilee Alpha a lot but not sure as ever how her form stacks up against the Irish contingent.

    The Cheltenham Festival 2025

    Also I hope the fact that the racing has been so exciting and unpredictable this year will make those staying away remember what they are missing but to do that Cheltenham must improve the on course experience - though there seems to have been less of the awful pre-race" entertainment " they...

    The Cheltenham Festival 2025

    Still too much loud music though better than last year's horror Too much Aly Vance she is really vacuous as a presenter and interviewer they can save a few quid by sticking to martin Kelly and Hayley Moore- and she is often too slow in getting the crowd to clap the winner walking back Food and...

    The Cheltenham Festival 2025

    After last year’s disappointing Festival - these have been a belting two days . Story after story especially Michael O’Sullivan’s Cheltenham duo coming back to win and Golden Ace . Also a Festival to remind us not to be afraid of one horse and that if you don’t jump you don’t win Majborough...

    The New Lion was brilliant . Just managed to avoid being swayed by the Mullins hype but indeed all the first three look very good.

    The Cheltenham Festival 2025

    He jumped really well - unlike the rest of the field . Suspect The Jukebox Man would have hosed up . Lecky is such a likeable horse though.

    The Two Mile Chasers

    Poignant. I thought he was bound to win two out but Quilixios was still leading at the last - not sure what O’Keeffe was doing . Good to see albeit remotely Captain Guinness justified my ew hopes .

    Well when I got to Cheltenham today I didn’t expect Ballyburn to be the horse to shaft my Placepot .

    Novice Chasers 24-25

    Nico said he was outpaced and then just kept running on - he also made a mistake at the second last albeit nowhere as bad as Maj.

    Racecourse Closure

    What possible need is there for it ? Racing really cannot stop shooting itself in the foot - nobody wants to watch AW racing .

    Shocking run from Workahead - doesn’t bode well for H de B this week .

    Racecourse Closure

    Would be a shame - but Redcar has become a place for a lot of very poor racing . The late Leslie Petch would be appalled by the dross . The days of the Vaux Gold tankard, Andy Capp Handicap ( which went to York) , the William Hill Gold Cup etc are long gone - now only the Zetland GC , the 2...

    The Cheltenham Festival 2025

    Still warm and sunny in Cheltenham by all accounts. They have started watering the New Course ! Typical though that the temperature is to see a sharp drop from Tuesday even though remaining dry . Great to not have one of these recent soft Festivals that have plagued the meeting the last few...

    The Cheltenham Festival 2025

    Are they really going tun Fact to File in the Ryanair - surely he must run in the GC ? JP has Spillane ‘s Tower who has a much better chance IMO of winning the Ryanair than Corbetts Cross does of winning the GC - it’s looking like a good to soft meeting for once . You cannot be afraid of one...

    I always have suspected there must have been something physical with Bregawn.
