Cheltenham Highs and Lows

“The monday. Marine Nationale beating the Willie Mullins favourites. The superb display of Constitution Hill and Honeysuckle with a fairy tale ending”

Don’t be making this in to a 5 day festival

Where do they go with Dysart ? , there,s a very talented horse there if they can just settle him , he jumped so well to his fall

If he’s ok- Aintree, would suit him down to the ground i reckon.

Highs: The first time I’ve had any positive thoughts over the introduction of the Mares Hurdle, as while there were two previous CH winners that would have added some ‘body’ to the CH (even without altering the order of the first two home) they may likely have not turned up at all without the new race.

Low: Although the Gold Cup was pleasing for the connoisseurs with two class acts filling the first two places – the downside is( without trying to be a harbour of doom) just knowing that there is a fair chance that one of them, or God forbid even both, will incur setbacks and not produce their optimums ever again. For every Best Mate, The Fellow, Kauto, Denman, you could cite a long, long list that went wrong and just did not regain their fizz. In fact there are few that return to anything near their best after setbacks – Imperial Call nearly back to his best, and Pendil as a 12 year old after two years out won his first three back and ran Fort Devon to a close margin in the Fulwell at Kempton but they are rare. Sprinter Sacre over shorter and Cyfor Malta too, in relatively recent years but by God, A Plus Tard looked a cracking, above average winner just 12 months previous.
