Here's a somewhat belated look at Cheltenham Day 2, which is somewhat stale now, but as I spent a good while writing it, it'd be a shame to waste, so hope you enjoy.
Here's the last of the 4 Cheltenham Preview pieces, looking at tomorrow, the final day, with memories of a Cheltenham winner ridden by......Lester Piggott. Also featured, Mr Potato.
Thanks guys...I never really went anywhere just haven't blogged for a while. Twitter seems to take away the desire to do that.
If God's Own hadn't whacked into the 2nd last I thought it could have got 3rd. The race went pretty much as I thought for our horse, avoided the early battle for the lead and plugged on with Dodging Bullets and Sire De Grugy running badly. I just thought that Sprinter Sacre might be yesterday's horse. In the end it ran great...performance of the week and brilliant for the sport. If Special Tiara had faded after challenging for the early pace we'd have probably got 3rd. We sort of hit the post.
Thanks for the kind words...Mickey...tricky to mention Cheltenham without any reference to the tipping site as I spent about 40 hours doing stuff for the site during the meeting, I did decide it was best not to mention the name of the site...Nuggy...I'm starting to think you don't like me...did we ever meet?...did I do something to upset you?...you seem to be cross with me on every one of the times I have seen you post anything with reference to me...Dontelmum...I felt like I ran bad last year, this year I had some good luck and some bad but Tuesday was a bad losing day and the other days I won on all of them. Tough to win on a year where so many favourites win and I didn't back any of those...Dragon...delighted to see you managed to get something from the horse...Tikay...Brilliant job on the daily blogs, I thought they were great. A tough job done very well.
Thanks Neil, really appreciate that, & you said it even though you & I may disagree on some of the stuff I wrote, & the opinions I hold.
I enjoy writing, but when I need to write two articles per day, as I did throughout Cheltenham, so 8 in total, (only 7 have been published so far, as I don't control that end any more), & alongside my other commitments, I can't "polish" them adequately, & I'm often disappointed in them. As it happens, of the 8, 2 were half decent I thought, the rest a bit meh.
I'm penning an Australian F1 GP piece today, that'll probably appear soon.
Thank you for all your hard work throughout Cheltenham Tikay and Neil. Really enjoyed both or your views.
Thanks for the reply Neil. I know it must be really tough to make profit at these meets and respect you for trying and putting your thoughts out there. You never shy away from your critics either, good on you.
Tikay, get yourself a hol booked and I don't mean Vegas and working 18 hour days.
