The most satisfying result of the festival. Great to see a great horse do the business again. A National Hunt Legend.
just back from work watching the replays on ruk – great result
did the stable lass really say in her interview ‘the night is for spliffing and making love?’
well done
Yes I do believe she said exactly that. And left the interviewer rather nonplussed.
Anyone know her nationality? She looks Spanish, but is more likely to be from Eastern Europe.
Much as I warm to the idea of a night’s spliffing with the bonny lass, I think it was ‘sleeping’ in her hybrid Polish/Spanish/Geordie brogue
Wonder if she understands a word Howard Johnson mutters?
I don’t

She’s Israeli. And hasn’t half been through the mill – I think I was as delighted for her when the Drever won as for the horse.
I’m another who hopes they stick to their guns and retire him. He owes the Wylies and HJ nothing. In fact, I was hoping they’d announce it yesterday after the race so he could have been cheered out of the winner’s enclosure into retirement.
I also hope they retire him straight away. Not because of the risk of injury (injury can happen to any horse young or old) but because how many horses retire having made history and in an unbeaten season?
They might do an Istabraq with him.
Bring him back, jump a hurdle or two and then pull him up!

Tom O’Ryan alluded to it in his review of the action there yesterday, but the loudest cheer of any at Hexham yesterday was from the racegoers congregated in front of the big screen there when Inglis Drever went in.
Little doubting the affection with which the locals hold the yard (based barely 20 miles away) in general and the horse in particular.
