Tuesdays Cheltenham thread

Arctic fire was a lovely ew bet and delighted for Paul Townend to get a lovely spin round on Hurricane Fly. Nigel Twiston Davies was so standoffish and arsey in his pre race interview it's really put me off him. His horse isn't good enough and he comes across like having a chip on his shoulder about it. maybe i'm very wrong but I never ever thought he was travelling to win it last year yet the Our Conor incident gave them a badly needed excuse. While it may be monotonous with Willie winning all the time (and however monotonous it is in Cheltenham try being in Ireland where it's a daily occurence) but at least Willie is always very grateful and unassuming about it.
 
NTD is always a bit like that - remember when he said he was retiring after winning the National some years ago? I think he's a cranky old sod who takes all criticism very personally.
 
Jesus that was horrible, poor mare. So pleased she was up and on her feet, looked like she just stood off too far.
 
I feel emotionally drained! Cracking day's racing! I've taken tomorrow off so I can watch it properly, not sat pretending to do work while I have Channel 4 live on my computer! Setting a very bad example to my team!
 
Maiposa - I ran into the staff cantten every 30 minutes to watch the racing today. I booked holiday for the rest of the week. Can't wait!
