lol Joe

dont think its that

just that if you havent been to the Feis

you wont know what it means to racegoers especially the Irish ones

and the occaisional traveller from across the Irish Sea

myself,Colm & Padraig went 2 yrs ago when i was home

and it was brilliant especially the clash between Solwhit & Punjabi

so its understandable that its not held in such high regard as Cheltenham even though its just as good a meeting the problem is its too close to Cheltenham & Aintree for the English Punter

my ambition for the last couple of years has been to go to all these feis and view in their entirity..but that may not happen but im still hopeful

and like you im slightly disappointed at this schedule but as the French say 'C'est la vie'

You got any idea where the 2 MM semi's will be Paul. Also my horse got selected in the 3 from the hat, does that mean he still goes to semis mate?

yes Mike because 1 heat was ruled out due to the 1st 5 already qualifying

3 horses were picked from a hat from that days racing in the 2 MM races

that had not qualified..

so it means those 3 are in the semi-final which includes yours m8

bit of luck eh! but that also means you cant get the 3m from the draw now

but you dont need the money eh! lol
