Well just got back in...what a day! My thoughts from today....
- Kopek isn’t the second coming, he s a very nice horse but still quite raw.
- Majborough is also still raw and maybe the 2m exposed the jumping
- Lossie, dear Lossie is just beautiful and I for one am glad she went for the Mares and regained her confidence.
- Champion....oh god..who wrote that script? But all hail Jeremy who is literally one of the best guys in racing (I know him quite well as he lives down v near here) and I was one of Jezza’s Army singing and chanting by the winning enclosure (my mum even saw me on the telly box)
- Myretown I backed as he looked great and his jumping was awesome
- Puturhandstogether I also backed and he looked great too
- Romeo Coolio will make a lovely chaser
- Replacing the amateur riders in the last...they still fell off.
Maybe.

I picked the wrong one, went for Final Demand.
Impressive from The New Lion, first 3 will be proper horses I imagine.

My take on that would be JP didn't need to back him.

He has some speed for a Kayf Tara.
Family of Diamond Boy so the O'Keeffe family will be well pleased.
Great to see Harry Skelton come good in a Grade 1 for the family.
His dad was a guest on the Late Late Show 40 plus years ago and said his ambition in life was to be a Jump jockey, not a showjumper. I have been a fan of his since.

Memories of Racing Demon upon seeing the low head carriage of Ballyburn once again!

Think I'd be taking him showjumping to improve that. I used to ride a horse at home like that - incredibly difficult and can't imagine trying to negotiate fences like that!

Absolutely! Can't say I have ridden one with such a carriage, high head carriage on the other hand...

Lecky came good at last for us; delighted for all involved.
Imagine Grey and the Leckhampton lads will not be too sober for too much longer.

My stopped clock moment for Festival 2025.
We just know Lar Byrne from Festival drunken nights of yore.
He is always good for the crack, having got his eye in as Hardy Eustace's owner.

Afraid I enjoy this too much to be any way shrewd.

So, so pleased that Marine Nationale has won! What a beautiful result.
