Amazing race! What a coup with a first timer, and a lot of decent jumpers out there.

And I fancied it, but didn't place a bet
Oh no!! Had the same with the time i had Mon Momme in the office GN sweepstake completely dismissed putting real money on him due to the odds... that ended well...
184 people had him in the 7?! Wow

I thought it would wipe everyone out instantly but apparently there's 184 people left, how?! Not even a catchy name that may have drawn them in

Jonjo "I'd rather ride a 100/1 outsider for Willie than go to Doncaster". You and me both, Jonjo, you and me both.
Willie "I thought I'd better pull him out of the field and get him ready for Cheltenham". Ya think, Willie?

184 who stuck a pin in the paper this morning !
As much as I despise WM having dozens in every race, there is no disputing he is a genius trainer. First time out over hurdles and achieves a grade 1.

I was boiling the kettle but thought that was what Willie said. Brilliant. Lovely for Jonjo too.

Also the breadth of owners and jockeys. He has had 7 winners so far, for 6 different jockeys and (I think) 7 different owners. In his Triumph Hurdle runners alone I think he had runners for 7 or 8 different owners. They all deserve to see their horse there.

I think I'd rather see WM with different connections than the Gigginstown battalions we used to get. I think it helps he seems a real gentleman too
Nico not impressed however!
I'd also rather ride a 100-1 shot for Willie than go to Doncaster.

Absolutely agree with you. I love seeing the small yards having a win on the big stage.

Irish Panther looks a handful, not that often you see a Dutch gag on a racehorse. He’s got a first time hood on today.

Wendigo clipped heels when he was making good progress coming round the bend, jockey did well to stay on him!

Yes, looked nasty for a moment. Good winner though but I think he'd have run on to a higher placing without that.

Paul...! He's either winning or sitting in Ruby's spot on the grass at the back of the last 
. Fingers crossed he wins the next. I had the privilege of plaiting GDC up when he won the Martin Pipe. If any horse deserves a 3rd 
, it's him.
