Cheltenham Thursday Thread

[HihoGinger]

Had an amazing day at Cheltenham, first time I've been and can definitely say I'll be going back! What a race from Vautour! His jumping was phenomenal, should have bet on him to win rather than each way!

Does anyone have any news on Masters hill? He was the grey (number 2) that was caught in the pile up in the 4.40, came home with no jockey and very lame on his offside fore. They put the screens up right in front of us but he did walk into the ambulance. Beautiful looking horse.

Hope all the other horses are ok and of course the jockey (sorry don't know his name) who seemed to take a real tumble in the same race

Masters Hill was still with us this morning. He was reported as still with the vets at Cheltenham. Hopefully that's still the case.
Tom Weston's apparently still in hospital with lung problems.

Sorry if this has been covered but haven't read all of the thread. How did Andrew Nicholson get on in the St Patrick's Day Derby? s there anywhere that I can watch it?
Thanks

I think Andrew Nicholson was 5th or 6th. The first 2 were miles clear of the rest. Not sure if there will be anywhere to watch it, try youtube maybe? Ifs not a rules race so isn't counted as form for the horse and wont be on RP.

Nicholson was 4th and said he really enjoyed it - more fun than dressage apparently

Really pleased to hear that!

ETS: not so pleased to hear about Tom's condition. I hope he is as comfortable as he can be
