    Thats a childish response

    Why is it that so many Irish people have to see racing as a naitionlistic issue?

    Its one reason why i never listen to Irish commentators, tipsters or punters. You just know what they are going to say irrespective of merits

    I dont think it is unreasonable for people to state that they feel taht Dawn Run was abit overrated (and there was alot of simpering hype at the time…lets face it) in the same way that people may not quite rate Falbrav or Oasis Dream as highly as others. its one of the appeals of racing that there is so much debate, but its only worthwhile when clear of prejudices

    One of the appeals of racing is that it is generally not a flag waving industry. Lets keep it that way,

    there are simply too many celts (who seemingly happily live over here) who spends their whole life wnating everything english to lose. i would hope that that doesnt include yourself.

    Does it?

    he was definately the moral winner!

    There was a very generous mares allowance which made it for Dawn Run. Why do these allowances exist in championship races when horses are fully matured and developed? fair enough for fillies, but fully grown big mares?

    Wayward, like the great Desert orchid, was never really a Cheltenham horse and didnt have the luck that desert did

    Personally i got a bit sick of some of the drivel that surrounded Dawn Run although the accident was sad
