    I have a horse in Ireland, Bay of Freedom, who we are (optimistically) aiming at the Cheltenham Bumper. In my excitement I decided to start a blog to follow the dream; this has now developed into a website: www.cheltenhamdream.com Just wanted to post it in case anyone might be interested (and, at least, it does describe Talkinghorses as being the best forum for quality discussion and provides a link).

    Obviously they don't know I am here Best of British hope you have loads of fun with him.

    He looked a bit green and you wouldn't have had 10p on him before the home turn at Galway, yet when he picked up under a bit of pressure it was all over in a matter of strides.....Very Impressive

    Yep, good luck Paul. Captain Von Trappe had a decent reputation so you never know. I'll follow with interest as well

    Not sure Tanlic. Cheltenham were kind enough to supply some photos but no descriptions. You have inspired me to work it out!

    Had a look back and I think it is. Big field that year and def looks like Jp's Binocular and Jered..Celestial halo black and red, Osana up front with Muirhead 2 behind and it could be Brave Inca between them possibly Nicky Henderson's Sentry Duty at the rear.

    Can't for the life of me see Harchibald though and the blue checked colours in the inside could be Hobb's Snap Tie but the red cap says no. Some of the others even looking at the race card don't seem to fit in but that's not that unusual.

    Getting through your website slowly but surely (kinda busy )

    I am exhausted but it is actually the 2013 Fred Winter. I did ask for some other shots from Cheltenham but apparently I have run out of my free entitlement!

    Good luck PD, enjoyed the blog. Me and Grey experienced a similar journey in 2011 with Raise the Beat. Unfortunately he got injured during the race and didn't show what he was capable of.

    How exciting; my rubbish computer even allowed me to get onto the link [doesn't often happen, that]. I really hope he runs well for you.

    Well done - great story, will follow with fingers crossed.

    Another better run Roddy, she seems to be getting to grips with things.

    Good luck at Warwick tomorrow.
