Cheltenham - Thursday

How lovely see Tom really appreciate his horse, more than can be said for the leading jockey who may verbally tell us how good the horse is but is yet to be seen make a fuss of the brave souls that carry him to victory.
 
What a smashing horse that Thistlecrack, it was like he was in another league. If you mean Ruby AA, it's been reported that Annie Power is to spend her summer break at his place, so there's no shortage of affection there. I suppose we all have different ways of expressing it.
 
Of the two horses that fell in the same race, one's at stables being assessed, the other - Niceonefrankie - suffered a fatal inury/PTS, so that's five now sadly.

Another great days racing. Some stunning performances.

On a sad note another horse lost today. That's one too many. Is the ground just too fast this year ?
 
Oh yes, Mariposa. Bobsworth just doesn't know he is only an old pony. What a horse he has been for his connections.
 
I hope they finish Bob's Worth whilst he is sound and in one piece. He owes no one anything and I would hate to see him gradually go down in class after all he has done.
