Scilly Isles and Irish Gold Cup weekend

[Maddie Moo]

Looking forward to see Galopin Des Champs today and the interesting Embassy Gardens in the Irish Gold Cup.

Disappointing there is only 4 in the Scilly Isles. The ground is incredibly testing at Sandown.

Good boy Gunsight Ridge!!

Definitely looking forward to GDC. Some interesting runners in the Scilly Isles.

I hope Kalif du Berlais can run a good race in John's memory.

Isn’t Handstands gorgeous.

Lovely run by Handstands!

I am having an incredibly complicated afternoon trying to watch Scotland on BBC 1, Sandown on ITV and everything from Leopardstown on RUK.

The Scilly Isles was great, and I have followed Handstands since seeing him win so impressively over hurdles at Newcastle. Such a classy horse.

A lot of grey horses in this race at Musselburgh.

Very happy for Nicky Richards. Proper trainer!

And a cracking win by the grey The Kalooki Kid. Fab jump at the last.

The Kalooki Kid wins, he’s such a stunning horse

Majborough needs some more schooling , but has so much class that it doesn't matter. If you ever see him in the flesh he is absolutely stunning.

He has caught my eye on TV before.

Red Dirt Road with an impressive performance in the mud there.

Is Galopin going to gallop to victory?

 

[bonny]

Here he is …..

Galopin!!!

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

What a star!

I could not love him any more ! I think Paul is a very, very happy man. And thrilled for Hayes to get up for second.

Fabulous. Was yelling at the TV. Going back to previous three times winners who else is old enough to remember Jodami. Beef or Salmon was a favourite as well.

He's the ultimate athlete. And yet I feel like he deserves more recognition somehow!

He has earned serious respect now. He loves it. He weighs his fences up beautifully. Perfect chaser xx
