Is Gaelic Warrior the first juvenile hurdler to win the Gold Cup? Commanche Court went close, but can’t recall any others.
Just shows what a spectacular talent he isVery 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).
Jango baie 10/3; course form, seemed to be staying on best in King George; haven’t picked a winner all week btw.
Elliot has been having a good year in Ireland; still well ahead of Willie. Not everything is about Cheltenham. Delighted to see Jonjo having 2 winners; I was there 40 years ago…..
Still miss the 3 day white-hot festival. The Ryanair and mares’ races have really diluted the competitiveness
More to this than meets the eye, I reckon. But delighted for Henry, always seems such a gentleman, must be so hard to come back from such personal tragedy
I was there LD73, forgot that they ran at level weights; just shows what a superb mare she was, to win a Gold Cup and then a few weeks later beat the 2-mile champion. Also a triple champion hurdler (Irish, British and French). Her achievemnets are scarcely believable, shame about her greedy owners
Sad news, second only to KS this century; still remember his spectacular chasing debut.
I have no sympathy for the theocratic regime in Iran, but it’s always possible to make a bad situation worse. According to Pete Hegseth, there are no ‘rules of engagement.’
True words Richard88; all other drugs pale by comparison with alcohol; redd a stat some years ago (so i don’t have the reference), that 1 in 6 people in UK and Ireland were miserable due to alcohol, either themselves or a family member.
Have never understood the sycophancy towards an unelected dynasty, but Andrew is a convenient scapegoat. Obviously everyone in the USA was innocent…….
