What prat let a dog on the track? Field galloped over it with no harm to anyone, but still ........ it couldn't jump a fence though!
I've always thought that he was a better hurdler, and although he managed a win last year, it wasn't anything special. I was assuming that the stable had thought the same, but as you say - from that stable, who knows! And looking at his jumping in that race, you would be forgiven for thinking he should stick to NH flat races!
Cheltenham 3.40 Matt Griffiths on Sykes, was too scared to put it up, I would have jinxed it! Nice E/W money.
Backed this in singles and a double with CIRRUS MINOR in the 6;45 My main fancy of the evening, apart from my kebab later, is ANGELINA DOR 100/30 for Mark J0hnston in the 7:15. I think it should be favourite.
Happy to see Repare Mon obliged last night.I see Gordy Elliot and Davey The Dog Russell had the winner with Bless the Wings.Enda Bolger record in the Cross Country the last five years has been brutal, Bless the Wings could be the one to side with again come March.
This race is more competitive since it's been a handicap that's why bolgers horses have struggled they used to get a weight advantage
Didn't watch the racing till early this morning,was at the international horse show at Olympia but was delighted to see bless the wings win. Happily I backed Arthur's gift as well so a nice double and I just goes to show the difference a good claimer makes
