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.
He can still win some graded races in heavy , next season will be Aintree though , prob is will the ground be to fast
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
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.
Not as good as yours Ben by the sounds of it , I’m awaiting a mauling as I spent the winter saying Gaelic couldn’t win , glad life’s shining on you
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
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!
I’ve had a cracking week antepost so have no right to complain , do you still have a bet
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
I don’t mate which is for the better! Happy to hear you’ve had a blinder though, put the winnings into next years ante post haul!
That’s guaranteed to lose it , I’ll have a nice lunch and buy the stepdaughter something …. I say that knowing I’m already looking at 2027 and have 6 in the national , good luck with the training
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
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).
Good to hear you are enjoying life, Ben. Don’t blame you for packing in the betting!
Nick Luck on RTV just spoke to Director of Equine Saftey and Welfare and he said it was a cardio vascular collapse that happened as he came back down the walkway.
He went on to say the vets had checked him (as they do with all the horses) before he started making made his way back down the walkway from the course but then said that the incident happened quickly at the bottom end of the walkway and although the vets got to him quickly they confirmed that he passed very quickly after the incident.
Ultimately he went out on his shield but clearly we all would have much preferred a long and happy retirement for him.
Envoi Allen, thank you for all the wonderful memories you left us with….RIP
