    As Nass will testify I am a miserable old beggar when it comes to the big meetings. However, I shall be either at Sandown on Saturday or Cheltenham on the Wednesday depending on where Harristowns path leads.
    In a recent development though LADY STICK announced that she was currently "negotiating" getting a box for Gold Cup today. I am not sure what this will give us access to but would love to shake hands with anybody on here that is there for that day.

    Surely that's akin to having a Ford Fiesta stuck in the middle of an Italian supercar line-up <laugh>

    Mossey Joe out of Cheltenham according to Matt Chapman.

    Terribly disappointed for the horse as its another chance at a big prize he's missing out on. Hopefully they can get him to the Grand National now.

    I'll be there Tuesday through to Thursday, so would definitely be up for meeting fellow forumites on the Tuesday. Managed to have a pint and watch the Champion Hurdle with Reebs last year, would be good to put a few more faces to names guys

    Have all 4 days off for the festival and will be going on the Friday for the Gold Cup. There will be 61 of us there in the best mate enclosure so we should be easy to spot! If anyone is about and wants to meet up message me on here and I'll send you my number. We normally start off in the main marquee bar at 11am, watch the live band and then start placing those bets! Cant wait!! (P.S It better not be raining like last year!)

    Ste, got your message and will drop you my number too. Make sure you have a night out in Bristol too, quite an interesting city.

    I heard a rumour that Stick might venture west, surely that can't be true?
