    The headshots of Blazing Baily and Lyes Green are magnificent. What a change in the weather of the three days. As always, you have captured the meeting brilliantly.

    You should really consider taking up a career in horserace photography, UG!

    Weather doesn't look that bad on Sunday.
    "And still they gazed and still the wonder grew. That one small head could carry all he knew.

    And that small head knew that Impaire Et Passe would win the Champion Hurdle."

    Super duper! Really tells the story of the weather... so glad I stayed home!
    And full marks to those who did their duty

    Some great old-fashioned hunting seats on display LOL

    I esp liked the one of Spot being led in -

    "No need to pull me about! - Sure I know where the Winner's 'spot' is, but I's best take the plaudits form over here first!"
