Really looking forward to this years Festival. A lot of the races look really open this year so hopefully some interesting & maybe unexpected results ?

Just wish that the Festival wasn't the be all and end all of jump racing these days. So much rides on it & it seems that unless you win there then the horses haven't really achieved their full potential.

Anyway, best of luck to everyone & let's hope all jocks & horses come home safe & sound
 
I'm so excited. I have to work Thursday and Friday but at least can watch tomorrow and Wednesday live.
Who do you want to win the Champion Hurdle then? And who do you think will, if not the same.
I want Grandouet as I loooove Barry Geraghty but think Hurricane Fly probably will.

As for Wednesday, it can only be Sprinter Sacre, what a horse.

Like you say, as long as all are safe and sound at the end of the day.
 
Yes Im so looking forward to it, Im sure if the real Hurricane Fly turns up he will win if not Zarkandar although Ive probabley just put the kybosh on him. Looking forward to seeing Sprinter Sacre but win lose or draw I want them all to come back safe and sound.
 
My daughter phone me earlier to say that there was a wind chill temp of -10c . Looking forward to going to my first ever Cheltenham but I think lots of layers will be needed to stay warm. Hoping they all come home safe too.
 
Ive just been given tickets for Thursday and Friday, and accomodation 5 mins walk from the course from Wednesday to Saturday, so Im now EXTRA super excited !!!!!

Looking forward to watching tomorrow and Wednesdays from snuggled up on my sofa though, I have to confess....

off to pack my jumpers !!! :D :D :D :D :D
 
Well, after deciding against attempting to drive to uni i am off to the shop to get yummy food and settle in front of the TV for the festival!
 
Really looking forward to it too.
I'll be able to watch today's and tomorrow's, but Thursday I'll be on a train all day, and Friday will be somewhere in the highlands for my friend's wedding.
I'm going to have to make some major excuses to duck out and watch the GC!

Can't wait to see Sprinter Sacre, hoping he can do the business, not got major strong feelings about any others off the top of my head, but more than anything, I hope that all the horses and jockeys have a safe festival. :)
 
Fingers crossed it passes the 10.30 inspection.

I can't get excited about Quevega, only running once a year is just not enough!
 
Cheers Kadastorm!

Home safe and £4k for coming 5th lol! Too quick for Tapperoo by the looks of it. I'm disapointed in Overturn though. Yes he made mistakes but he is much better than that.

Next! Lol!
 
£4k! Not bad! :)

Really thought Overturn would get it but got to give it to Simonsig, he made a few mistakes but powered on. Loving the greys :)
