    Hi people, i have just looked at the card for Cheltneham tommorow and there are 3 decent races in my eyes.

    Steel Plate And Sections Hurdle – Including, BJK, Blazing Bailey, Afsoun..
    Also Star De mOhaison re-appears.
    Should be good tommorow from the look of it :D

    Not forgetting Wichita Lineman in that firs race with Blazing Bailey, Black Jack Ketchum, et al.

    Looks an awesome race that one does and one i am looking forward to.

    Backing Black Jack Ketchum these days is indeed a gamble.

    Must say how pleased I am to see David Pipes’ horses doing so well after a slow start to the season – over the past couple of years have noticed at the racecourse what an affable sort of bloke he seems to be; always has a smile on his face and congratulations and a handshake for those who beat him…

    Agreed. Inglis Drever is one of the most talented NH performers in the last 10-20 years. Forget Denman vs Kauto Star, my visit to the Festival this year will be to witness ID claim his third World Hurdle – it would have four if not for an injury sustained prior to the 2006 Festival.

    He’s the most talented hurdler of his generation and his flawless performance in the Long Distance was cruelly overshadowed by Denman’s Hennessy romp.
