No......the Melbourne Cup is now a prep race for Cheltenham.

Steady on with Bsllyburn. He is a long long way behind a lot of Cheltenham novice who came out as above average but in years only 3 could you mention in the same breath as Dawn Run..Faugheen Constitution Hill and Altior.

You’ve got to be impressed, though. Ballyburn leads the “Cheltenham take outs” list for me.

Were the two the Pertemps & Kim Muir?

I'd be surprised if he wasn't sore afterwards too, he gave the 7th fence some clout.

Yes.

I think the horse is a superstar and they will go down that road.

Willie gave Miriam O'Callaghan an interview on RTE Radio 1 this morning.
Available on the radio player "Miriam Meets " show.
Well worth a listen, he broke down at mention of his mother but was quite informative and funny at times.
