    Beat me to it, "graysonscolumn" – I was going to post that!

    By the way, shouldn’t you have an apostrophe in your name?!?

    It should really, Benny, but as the graysonscolumn name existed as an email address before it did as a wider internet presence (and has done for eight years now), I’ve always been more used to rendering it without. It should really have a capital G as well, come to think of it! 8)

    My wish is simply that the sport manages to survive this economic downturn and emerges in reasonable shape.

    I fear owners who have seen their wealth destroyed could leave the sport in droves over the next year. The effects of the recession have been already seen in the bloodstock market, but I don’t think it has really affected the day to day running of the sport – yet…..

    My wish is that Hurricane Fly is sent for the Ballymore at Cheltenham and that Sizing Europe can show that his AIG win last year wasn’t just a freak run.

    To see Diamond Harry avoid Cheltenham. Don’t want to see a potentially top horse like him get destroyed by a monster in Hurricane Fly.

    Can’t help thinking people have Diamond Harry and this Monjeu beast the wrong way around – Diamond Harry surely the novice to beat?

    My wish is for Ballycassidy to have a very sucessful, and more importantly very safe season in his new job as a hunter chaser.

    And for Snoopy Loopy to hold on to the order of merit.

    And for Mon Mome to win the National.

    Punjabi to win the Champion Hurdle, ridden by me.

    For Clive Smith to give his whole string to me as a lovely gift.

    To send all of said horses in training with Simon Gilmore.

    "Peruvian" "Diamond harry" as fine a staying prospect as you will see at the moment, "Hurricane fly" is a speed machine and would absolutely
    leave "harry" and anything else over 2m in Novice company for dead!

    Kauto Star to win a 4th KG (another Gold Cup would be nice too!)

    Tidal Bay to put in a clean round in the Ryan Air and win by 15 lengths

    Conduit to win the Arc

    non-racing related ….

    Ipswich Town to get promoted and not get shafted in the play-offs AGAIN

    Usain Bolt to take big chunks out of his WRs and LaShawn Merritt to take Michael Johnson’s 400m WR

    Whoever mentioned the Daily Mail being sued earlier – yes yes yes. In fact, I’ll go one step further and wish that the whole fascist institution that is The Daily Mail collapses and stops brainwashing our whole country with lies, bigotry and hatred.

    My wish – For the flat season to be run on decent / quick ground for the vast majority of the season and for courses to not water in a constant attempt to get "perfect" ground.
