    The Great, The Very Good and the downright Terrible - Cheltenham Review 2023

    Thankfully, we have been spared the nonsense of a five day festival but there still remains room for improvement in the schedule and content. The Irish dominance is not to do with money. Paul Nicholls has a stable full of horses that cost more than £250,000. Jonbon cost £520,000 and is with a...

    Greatest Hold-up Ride Ever

    Carberry's ride on Harchibald in the 2004 Christmas Hurdle was quite something. A track he would rarely have ridden before, he allowed the previous years Champion Hurdle winner to accumulate a 30 length lead before reeling him in incrementally from the home turn to lead after the last and win...

    Off Topic Euro 2020

    Disappointing. At 1-0 the time was ours to be positive. Outplayed ultimately and the peno shoot out was another massive choke whatever way you dress it up. We didn't actually beat anything of note,including an old German side, but so much to look forward to with this group. Gareth needed to a...
