Just seen the replay of Let's Dance falling at Punchestown - the horse got up fine but she fell with her full weight on Ruby, that must have really hurt. He was sitting up after the fall but jeez, that must have hurt. Hope he is OK. Puts the sport we love into perspective.
World Hurdle (or is it Ladbroke Hurdle these days?) horse Thomas Campbell. Very efficient hurdler, has tactical speed and devoured the hill after the last today. Very good win that, and surely he will be upped to graded class now.
made up for you stick ! fergal going great guns today , commiserations to the Don , as you say got beaten by a good one !
Thanks guys. We are very pleasantly surprised. Hats off to FOB...even the ones needing a run are winning and didnt she do it well. I honestly have only backed her in a double with the Dons horse..thats all.
