    Waiting on Sir Gerhard to place...

    Torn between laying him for a place for £100 to lose £40 if he places, or letting it run for £130... <steam>

    Skybet have offered me just under £50 to cash out. I've got to let it ride haven't I really?

    Townend well off the mark there - comprehensively outridden by Rachael Blackmore. Surely he should have forced the pace more? Patrick would have sluiced up on it.

    Bob, Monkfish and Fiddlerontheroof very kind to me... Also though Eklat De Rire was going pretty well before unseating...

    Decided E/W on Craigneiche to be safe, think he could have won if he didn't get trapped before and around the bend... Janika placed so happy enough there... And of course I forgot to press E/W on Sayo or else double tapped it on my phone without checking, so nothing at all back from what should've been a 50/1 placed bet :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Chacun nearly ruined me... I was actually gutted for him(As well as for nearly every single one of my multiples for the week), but no excuses, Put The Kettle On is some horse around Cheltenham! That saver on her literally saved me on this race... Notebook seemed to be going ok but then faded badly...

    If Chacun losing didn't ruin all my multiples, Easysland losing ruined all bar two... Thought Defi Des Carres ran ok, bar a few mistakes and think he could be interesting in this sphere from now on... Disappointed with Easysland, but Tiger storming home softened that blow a lot (Emotionally). If they retire him now it'll be great to see such a servant to racing go out on a high...

    Haven't seen the replay of this race yet but Embittered falling played a huge role in this race, not sure if anything behind managed to come close.

    Another great ride by Rachel, wandered around on the home straight but I feel it would've had enough even if Townend made a move on Kilcruit sooner...

    Strange day for Rachel Blackmore, 2 winners and 3 fallers... She really was riding hot and cold today!

    how weird , you realise horses don’t do nationalism , on breeding theyre all arabs ! so can only assume you mean the owner , another strange concept , or where they are trained , or the feed suppliers , it’s a very bizarre concept to try and pin onto what is a sport that doesn’t really acknowledge petty imaginary lines on maps .......

    5 times Tiger Roll has won at the festival now. That is some record to have. 42 runs, 13 wins, 11 places. Over 1.6 million euros amassed in prize money.

    Erm, Rudey, the Thoroughbred Racehorse is not exactly 'Arab' as such, it is a cross between the Arab and the English Racing Mare. This was developed by a Lady Wentworth in the 17th Century, the Arab strain for stamina, and the English Racing Mare for speed (yes, really). I am going by memory here, and have not googled anything yet, so apologies if I have not got things exactly right. Feel sure it was a Lady Wentworth though. Hope so!

    Here's something just found in Wikipedia, can't find the Lady Wentworth connection but I am sure it was one of the early ones in the dynasty:

    yes , they’ve diluted over time , but my point is valid , animals do not recognise nationalism , nor do fish unless you’re a farage type , it’s like trying to attribute human behaviour in animals , pointless , petty nationalism is used to divide and rule and distract , some sports transcend that , cycling , racing , boxing , it’s only jingoistic fools who try and perpetuate the illusions .......

    Yes, OK Rudey, my post was just a pedantic one on the thoroughbred origins, nothing to do with your post's theme. I am certainly no Farage type, good grief, no! :emoticon-0100-smile

    There is of course the Prestbury Cup, but anyway...

    I don't like to see the Irish trainers winning all the races thanks. Like to see the English trainers doing well...
