    WD Nathan, you stuck with him while I deserted.

    Awful news regards Envoi Allen. As if De Bromhead hasn’t been through enough.

    Jesus the person on the BBC live text has had a nightmare.

    Jukebox Man, having looked well placed until the penultimate fence, ultimately finished eighth.

    A bit Spursy?

    This 5 mins after reporting Envoi’s death in the same live text.

    I thought it was poor taste even without that context. Harry and the horse shouldn’t be mocked like that.

    Cheers HDLG and green, wonderful thankyou, married to an amazing woman now and living in London, we’ve actually just bought a holiday home on Lake Como! And currently doing training to become a Psychotherapist! How are things on your end?

    Thoughts with Envoi’s connections, especially his groom.

    GW has clocked a very fast final time of 6m 39.02s (fast by 10.98s) – to compare, Long Run’s course record is 6m 29.70s.

    The ground is probably between good and good to soft after the rain burst likely making it a bit loose on top.

    Cheers pal, if it makes you feel any better I bet on Gaelic Warrior twice, once when he lost that original Cheltenham handicap hurdle and the second time I had an ante-post bet on him 2024 Stayers hurdle! That’s racing isnt it! Chuffed for Nathan and the winners though!

    Very decisive, could have been called a long way out; still only 8, seems to have been around forevr. And took in all the top races this year, all hard ones (except for today).
