    A blast from the past here, fellas.

    Who can remember the 2010 renewal of the International Hurdle at Cheltenham without reading the rest of this post??? Turn away now…

    It was billed as race where the winner would be considered a viable contender for that seasons Champion Hurdle, and it was duly won in impressive fashion by…Menorah, who beat the young pretender…Cue Card, and recent scintillating Ascot Hurdle hero…Silviniaco Conti.

    As the years have passed us by, these Champion Hurdle contenders have collected an array of prizes and placed efforts between them, including:

    4 x Betfair Chase
    3 x King George VI Chase
    3 x Charlie Hall Chase
    2 x Aintree Bowl

    Oh, how horses still make fools of us!!

    This guy is a machine. All he does is work out and pick winners. Talk about fit. You should see him without his shirt off, serious side of beef.
