I think so!

A changing of the guard in the trainers (Elliott), lots of great jockeys winning and its not the Ruby show.

Missing horses through injury but still great races.

Nice weather..........so far!!!
 
I think for most it's whether they've had a winner or not. If he was heading home this morning WMP would have said it was the worst Cheltenham in years.:blink:

The Supreme was a decent race with producing a obvious future champion.

The Champion Hurdle produced a proper Champion Hurdle horse when many feared it would not and Nicky Henderson became the only trainer in history to train 6 CH winners.

The Arkle was disappointing performance wise and the QMCC a disaster for lovers of great horses.

The mares produced the most competitive race in their category seen in probably 10 years

Crazy horse Might Bite stole the show in one of the strangest finishes ever seen at the festival and he is the ONLY fav to win so far.

Jamie Codd, who should be shot for having the letters Mr. in front of his name, gave Cause of Causes a peach of a ride the horse winning for the 3rd time at the festival
He added a second winner in the bumper again proving himself to be one of the very best Amateurs riding today.

A few ups a few down and a long way to go Harry

You're forgetting about Altior. The fella you said was no Douvan. ;)

It's been fantastic. I've been following the Nick Williams stable for nearly ten years now and had some great returns in doing so but also had so many near misses at the Festival - Maljimar, Diamond Harry, For Non Stop falling at the last in the Coral Cup, Reve De Sivola mugged near the line in the Neptune - and to be in Hogarth's in Preston yesterday, with what must have been nearly a dozen Rum and Coke's in me at that point, shouting Dicky home on Flying Tiger - it doesn't get much better than that.
