    I was, it was a super day, and 4.80.

    Really sad to see the fatality rate going up again today, really sad.

    Rolling Star of Hendersons.

    Two for the week, which given some of the falls is still staggering.

    I seriously thought Annie Power was a gonner yesterday, landing on her neck like that. Amazed she just got up and walked away. maybe she wasn't traveling that fast uphill is all I can think.

    It does! But his win that day was very impressive, and although he will have some more serious opposition, he has all the ammunition required :)

    Another eventful day at the Festival, hard to follow up from yesterdays drama mind.

    NAP of the day landed in Don Poli. Absolutely murdered Kings Palace up the hill. Just like last year that one was looking the gas mask up the hill in a proper race lol Pipe got his reward later though with Moon Racer, blitzed them. Nice horse, but was a very messy race.

    Dodging Bullets beating Somersby said it all for the QM. Rubbish race, UDS will add some class to the division next year. Sprinter Sacre gone at the game. What a good horse he was for such an oh so short time.

    Not quite getting all this Moon Racer love, only seen the race once and I thought MODUS (not run for a year) was gaining on him!

    Moon Racer sort of misses the break though no? Certainly the course commentator said he did. Absolutely sluiced home I thought

    I think it fell apart. They went to quick on the front. I'd say Vigil might be the best horse in the race.

    I had Modus in the same race last year, didn't run anything like he did today!! Flirted with backing him again today, would've been gutted to miss out on 33/1 place money but thankfully I managed to find the winner anyway.

    He didn't run a bad race last year Fabio, he was only four at the time and that's a huge ask! They put him away after that and waited for today. I hope we see him out hurdling soon and he is going to be a nice sort.

    Has looked a real good one all season Nass has some great battling qualities and stays as strong as anything you will see. Watch the race at Xmas at Newbury where Parlour Games won but look how Vyta battles back after been scrubbed along along way from home.

    What a performance again from the Don... again it may not look flashy and I'm not sure he's beaten that much but my god does he find every time he's given a squeeze, all going well it will take a special one to upset him in next year's GC as it stands.
