Brilliant performance from Barry Geraghty and Bobs Worth despite being hampered by the fall of Silviniaco Conti.

My heart goes out to Jane Mangan after the Foxhunter Chase ... incredibly bad luck.

give the profit from salsify to charity, will never have luck like that again with no obstacles to be jumped

had a good festival too thankfully, third nice one in a row after my first two which were dodgy.

roll on aintree, going the thursday again this year but also the saturday too; can't wait
going with the girlfriend on thursday, friday gonna get shot of the hangover and watch the afternoons racing while waiting for my mate to arrive fri evening, then enjoy a few fine cigars and some premium scotch whilst analysing saturday's card - magic

looking forward to aintree now think the new one will be racing again, and hopefully we see the real oscar whisky again.

the new one and our connor to take on hurricane fly next year in the champion hurdle!!

done spikeroog today ew at haydock, though been told it may need the run

interestingly the new one could be off to aintree, in the same race as zarkandar, oscar whisky, thousand stars and solwhit (well, they've all been mooted for it).

chuck in peddlers cross and a few others from the world hurdle. that would be one hell of a start to the meeting!

Danedream reported to be in foal to Frankel.

Great expectations there I suggest.

is black cavier being covered?? think i read if she comes to ascot they will try

bet it will have a nice SP on debut!

backed Yellow Rosebud for the Curragh this afternoon.

Another 'not today' effort from Weld and Smullen. Rancid outfit. Glad I didn't go in heavily.

royal holiday .2.30.southwell today, tudhope has two rides before he flies out to dubai. wont of gone there for nothing hopefully!

spot on

hope this weather fecks off by next weekend.

never usually baking hot over aintree weekend but there's usually a bit of sun. trust it to be cold enough to freeze the nackers off a brass monkey when i'm doing 2 out of 3 days.

got levitate in the lincoln at 33/1 sweating abit on the photo though!
