It was hardly firm ground if you saw this years final day

That is mostly because it is often run on firm in March. If you read the BHA vets reports from the post mortems of horses who were killed at Cheltenham, or most other NH courses (Worcester is another bad one), you'll find those deaths are often attributed to the firm ground. It has nothing to do with Cheltenham, but the ground they race on; hence all the watering this year. They CANNOT run a huge meeting like Chelts or Aintree on anything even close to firm or horses WILL be killed. The link has almost been proven beyond doubt.

Just noticed that Sonar who finished 2nd in the Rendlesham hurdle has been demoted to 4th in TOM

Not just my horse then Kev who won last week but got the exact comment and Place 4th in week 7 but it won in week 8

I cant seem to enter Blades Busy in the bumper race even though those are the only races she has ever ran in all season long her name wont show on the nom list..and race 26 that group 2 3m2 chase race is still closed..

i think Leon is doing ratings tonight as Cat could not do them this week
i'm dosed up with the flu too

4th in the Gold Cup. I really did think I had a chance of winning this one. I know I've only got 3 runners on the NH side of things but I've always been optimistic on snagging one of the big ones. Great run by Nash's horse though so congrats there. Roll on Aintree where I have one last roll of the dice to win something big on the NH side .

Probably won't ever have any entries again after this season in NH as those 3 horses took forever to find!

Thanks Andy
That was easy Monaaaazzzaaaalllaaahhh & i won the Queen Mother too

CHAMPION BUMPER YEEHAA

Washington Queen won David Nicholson Mares Hurdle
& Bean Hustler won Johnny Henderson Grand Annual


3 x winners
6 x 2nds
0 x 3rds
3 x 4ths

After 5 winners last week I thought one at Cheltenham would do but got 7 winners the biggest surprise was Stag Party winning the Jewson I knew he was my best chaser over 2miles in trials but seemed to struggle so in desperation I stepped him up in distance to 2miles 4furlongs and Bang wins by 4 lengths but penznace win by 5 lengths in the Pertemps Final Handicap hurdle looked fairly easy but that was due to Keithbeaky running Seren oath Only in the race to keep Penzance on 10.8 thanks matt .

Out of all the Novice races run at Cheltenham my fav race would be the Sun Alliance Novice Chase and I've won it. Yessssss
