I know it’s not all about him, but hoping Constitution Hill jumps around and wins today. The first race impressive one with Impaire Et Passe and Jango Bair although others with a chance. I’ve always liked Rubaud and the interestingly named Gracchus de Balme caught my eye in the Foxhunter. I also love the name My Mate Mozzie and wonder where that came from.
 
Love Jango and hope he does well today. My Mate Mozzie jumped out at me too - love the name 😂
Hope all come home safe and sound today 🤞🏼 I have work tonight and probably need a nap beforehand this afternoon, but we’ll see I want to watch the racing. Already been out for my morning job and about to meal prep so I’m all organised.
 
Firstly I hope they all stay safe on this quick ground. Secondly I am really excited about today's race, CH is a phenomenal racehorse when he doesn't have headloss in front of his hurdles and I adore Nicky Henderson, but the way Lossiemouth absolutely tanked around Cheltenham it could potentially be the race of the meeting. Im not in OG but I hope Stage Star runs a great race for everyone.

I doubt it is quick ground, I’m imagining they have been watering for weeks to make it safe

I'm guessing that pun wasn't intended.

We had a 'good' month last month on racetracks with only 13 lost. Hoping our 'luck' can hold out for Saturday.
 
Is it just me or does anyone else find Matt Chapman spectacularly irritating! Nobody ever looks like they want to speak to him and get away at the first opportunity. He does come out with the most ridiculous twaddle!!

Fingers crossed the faller is ok - and Rachel Blackmore too, horrible fall :-(
 
I’m glad I was still napping so I didn’t see the fall. Really sad and I do hope Rachel is ok, the poor woman has not long been back from injury.

Praying everyone else comes home safe now 🤞🏼
 
I can’t watch this one, I have it on so I’m listening but I can’t watch. Praying they all stay on their feet with Lossiemouth and CH both having falls this season.
 
I hope all goes well over the national fences in the next. The ground is drying out and that often means more/worse falls. I know they have watered but I just wish it would rain before saturday to slow them down in the National.

Sad that CH fell again but so glad he's OK. Well done Lossiemouth - I do love a grey
 
Did I misunderstand that.

They were interviewing a woman called Suzanna Ricci, they said 'I know you lost a horse today' and she replied 'yeah. It's the day that dreams are made of. We are lucky to have 2 fantastic horses'

Completely failing to acknowledge her dead horse?

Surely not.
 
They have just showed the side on of CH and he took off a whole stride too early, although earlier on when it was a slower pace he was shortening when needed.

No, you are right that is how the interview went.
