(S) The forgotten horse in the race for me is BLAKLION. He has improved with every run over the fences and has run to form that I feel equals the two ahead of him in the market. He is a sound jumper and acts on the track so ticks enough boxes for me.
Now I have an interesting Fred Winter to look forward to as I did both BLAKLION and ARDAMIR in tenner each way singles and doubles, 10's and 16's!
I love Cheltenham. This is what it's all about. Off all known form how did the two favs not even place? Brilliant stuff. I made Shaneshill my bet of the festival ni the JLT and didn't back him today so you can imagine my face when he was cantering over the lot of them until the last.
I must say the RSA is historically a race where I am absolutely ****e ................ I don't think I've ever made money on it. I've backed all sorts of subsequent Grade 1 winners in it but never won a fecking bean Drinking this fella today: please log in to view this image
Me too, fantastic win that. Never seen such jubilation from Nigel Twiston-Davies and connections. Very happy for them after yesterday's great disappointment. Blaklion is something else, ably assisted by Ryan Hatch. Oh, well done Stick!
Ughhh, detest Weißbier, but thousands love the stuff! Give me ale any time. Man, I enjoyed that last race!
That was a belter and well done all who went with Blaklion. My few pence return for places is now going on Baoulet Delaroque in the 2.50.
