Cheltenham today

[humblepie]

After all the hype it is down to business. I hope Constitution Hill wins as always want a horse to live up to its potential although State Man is lovely too, or will one of the others come up and spring a surprise. I like Dark Raven in the first race - just the name!

 

[McGrools]

Exciting. Cant wait to settle down and watch
Hoping one of Nicky’s wins the mares hurdle.

Dark Raven is lovely. And as of 10mins ago sparkling clean.

 

[Clodagh]

So excited! Dogs are walked, sofa is ready…
I’d love Honeysuckle to win the mares, and I never support the Irish!

We posted at the same time earlier


I would LOVE to see Honeysuckle go out with a win and I think she will. I will admit I am disappointed that she isn't in the Champion Hurdle but at least we get to see her one last time.

Constitution Hill *should* hack up in the Champion.

Obviously I would love to see Corach come home in front again in the Ultima.

I haven't really looked at the rest of the card today.

Im stuck at work so can't watch! Just hoping the ground isn't too firm

I've done the ITV 7 so hoping whoever I've picked for that wins!

They have had a tonne of rain and snow in the last week so the ground is starting the week as officially Soft. The cross country course is soft, good to soft in places.

Just missed the first with my hay delivery suddenly turning up

 

[Clodagh]

Unless you’re Irish it was best missed

Who fell in the 2:10pm? I only caught the last stretch and Dysart Dynamo fell. Did one fall before?

Not that I saw. Hope DD is ok.

Dysart Dynamo up and being led in, there was one pulled up early on, can't remember which horse. El Fabiola (apologies on spelling) was cruising throughout.

Hollow Games. So pleased DD us ok.

 

[Elf On A Shelf]

There's nothing better than seeing a horse get up and walk away. I've been there enough times to know just how it feels. It's oure relief.

Now for Corach...

 

[humblepie]

Good luck with Corach.

 

[Fraggle2]

Well done on corach.

 

[Clodagh]

Well done Corach! That Derek is a cool dude!

 

[Parrotperson]

Hurrah! Brilliant from Corach Rambler again!!!!

 

[splashgirl45]

Good win for Corach , exciting race

 

[humblepie]

Super well done, what a star.

 

[blodwyn1]

Well done corach rambler! Brilliant win!

 

[Elf On A Shelf]

All that horse does is gallop and stay! Roll on Aintree!

Well done! Fabulous win

 

[Velcrobum]

Nicely done Corach !!

 

[Clodagh]

The way Corach farts about when he gets to the front. Derek Fox absolutely gets him so right. Brilliant.

 

[Velcrobum]

Fingers crossed for Constitution Hill in the next race.

You have to produce that horse as late as possible. He will always keep galloping and will go again if something gets to his girth. He's a proper wee trouper and suits Scu down to the ground!

 

[Clodagh]

What a bloody amazing horse.

 

[McGrools]

What a bloody amazing horse.

Breathtaking x

 

[Rowreach]

That brought a tear what a horse!
