That's a real shame - Created such a good impression last year and at the start of this year.

Jessie Harrington won with 3 of her 7 horses, unbelievable achievement. re-watched the gold cup last night to finish off a great weekend! I was a bit more subdued at the second time of watching compared to my alan shearer celebration impersonation when puppy power rocked home!

Being continually second to Douvan is pretty decent form and won at Gowran after stepping up to 2 mile 4 on pretty soft ground last month. Obviously, Sunday will tell a tale but assuming he runs into the places then maybe a case could be made for him each way at a big price for the Cheltenham GC (Potts could have alternatives for the Ryanair and Alary might not be the gold cup horse they thought he would be). 

I hate to be THAT person but....!
Had it too along with Harrington's other winner. A great Friday after a horrible Thursday so ended the week in profit thankfully. A great weeks racing though

Poor first 2 days for me but also had Harrington's other winner on Friday. Finished well up thankfully though had a massive headache on Saturday morning : A good day was had down there on Friday !

Haven't really backed all week, only lost about €40 in total!

Must say even though I do gamble, I actually enjoyed this year's racing a hell of a lot despite watching more so than punting.

Definitely takes the pressure off.....

Very tough race but I've backed him. Given how my week has gone so far that might mean everyone else should stay away LOL

Going for Native River in the Gold Cup too

Gordon Elliot before cheltenham started said he was unsure how his week would go & he would be happy with 1 winner. He said death duty was his best chance of a winner all week.

2/1 looks good as I reckon it will be a lot shorter come off time

beautiful ride. did well to avoid the fallers. fancy ruby for the match ball today.


Flawless ride mate, had no bet in it but enjoying it immensely Clap

Funny how some absolute idiots abusing Ruby all week, now praising him LOLyou have to admit though he's like a spoilt child when it's not going his way! Can't even manage a smile yet all the other jockeys who'd win less often than him can always come across as pleasant!

The man is a genius, as is Mullins never doubt them!
