Good:
This is the first Cheltenham I think I've properly enjoyed throughout, ever. I was mad into racing a few years ago and slowly lost interest, to the point I didn't really watch the last couple of years, but this year has been brilliant. A few winners helped, naturally, but just enjoying the event and reading some of the excellent contributions on here was so refreshing. The buzz is definitely back.
The stories of the week were just fantastic. Marine Nationale being the stand out for Michael O'Sullivan.
Bob Olinger. Say no more.
Bad:
The loss of Corbetts Cross and Springwell Bay, never gets any easier to watch or hear the subsequent news. RIP both.
GDC losing his crown. He didn't really have any excuses, and the winner, was superb, but 3x Gold Cups would've been incredible to witness.

All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable week. Thanks to all of you for keeping me entertained and informed - some way better judges than I could ever hope to be! Thanks too to jinny for running the competition
