    Yes. I didn't post a "Congratulations" as poor old Starchitect had the race sewn up until that nasty incident. Fearing the worst but hoping

    Doesn't look very soft at all to me at Cheltenham - My Tent Or Yours has to be the bet in the old Bula Hurdle

    Yes, thought he was going to be a very fortunate winner but couldn't hold off from GP. Didn't jump well early on and was way back most of the way. Made up ground about 2 out and looked to be finishing a clear second to Starchitect

    I feared the worst for Starchitect and I was right, always horrific to see a racehorse break down badly like that. :(

    Would like to see The New One winning but Old Guard 12/1 looks the bet to me.

    Most horse racing fans want to see The New One or My Tent Or Yours win!

    That just about confirms the Champion Hurdle as a 2 horse race this year.

    How lovely to see MTOY win that. I thought Melon was going to win that but just didn't have the reserves of the first 2. Great race
