CHELTENHAM 2:55 -
Legion D"honneur
Mannlichen

just having a small wager on these 2 for interests sake....

Cheltenham open meeting starts tomorrow;

3.30 Kells Belle

Did you get it E/W James? I had a fiver EW on Suburban Bay and took 33"s, looking very good in 2nd till it thumped the 2nd last and almost came to a stop lol FML

UL Grant - was on EW and had an EW double with Tanks For That, also backed semi colon in 2nd (loved the Henderson runners yesterday)

Very nice James just a shame it didn"t follow TFT into the winners enclosure, that would"ve been a lovely double.

sad news about Gary Speed, watching him on football focus and he seemed fine, it seems bizarre he killed himself..
A great Everton captain and a great footballer...

Sad story from France where Pascal Bary"s talented stable jockey Benjamin Boutin age 21 died after a horrible purler with four horses.

R.I.P.

Correction !

Sorry, the news Id read were a bit overhasty with his death. B. Boutin is in a artificial coma but he"s in a criticaly condition. Hope the best for him.

Today morning Benjamin Boutin died. R.I.P.

Just catching up after being away in Vegas

Emotional win for Kauto Star but would not be too worried about Long Run - still fancy him to win the King George again

Master Minded workmanlike and I am not sure will get the 3 miles at Kempton

Overturn is in cracking form and a real trier - not sure he is top class though and may have picked up some easy hurdle wins (his rating has gone through the roof so will be difficult to place now)

Dynaste for Pipe looks a real star in the making winning the fixed brush hurdle at Haydock (won by Diamond Harry & Grand Cruis in the past)

Rock On Ruby also very impressive off topweight in the limited handicap - surely graded races are in his future

Finally Carruthers winning the hennessy when totally exposed can only mean it was an average renewal in my opinion

Roll on Sandown & Aintree on Saturday

The tank - Denman"s finest hour

Happy retirement - racing legend

2.20 Garde Champetre

Cheltenham cross country course with the stooopid hedge markers? Didn"t GC benefit from something similar in the past at Chelters?

[TheSnapper]

That Denman clip reminded me of this fella

Never had much interest in horse racing but a friend was a huge SeaTheStars fan and backed him every single outing. He sat me thru various youtube clips and you could"nt but be impressed.

See The Stars was awesome, rarely spectacular but always got the job done,brilliant
