They forgot to jock someone up - as if the champ would unseat

Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

the hurdle is the size of a fence
That is dire. Id be asking for my money back.

Me too!...Where are they keeping him since he retired.....in a concentration camp? Looks like he's been starved
Artists can go over the top...I understand what the person is trying to get over but he's gone way too far and instead of a strong muscular animal he looks like a ferret with cancer

Did Leopardstown really pay for that? It looks awful.

Had the artist been reading Terry Pratchett's Discworld novel Mort? "Death once tried a skeleton horse after seeing a woodcut of himself on one - Death is easily influenced by that sort of thing - but he had to keep stopping to wire bits back on."
I hope this doesn't distract from the brilliantly appropriate statue of Snow Fairy on the other side of the ring. When I think of Leopardstown, Snow Fairy is the horse that always springs to mind.
"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."
No Faugheen.

BREAKING: Faugheen does not run in the Irish Champion Hurdle, according to trainer Willie Mullins
Shock.........not
Fooking idiots
Alcohol, because no good story ever started with "I was eating this salad..."
Sigh

Faugheen or no, the show goes on.
A few of us will be meeting at 12.00 in the cafeteria on the first floor of the main stand.
Anyone who'd like a ticket for the balcony level and seats please send me a PM.
Very disappointed about Faugheen, but it should be a great day's racing regardless.
Would it be utterly ridiculous to reroute Un de Sceaux to the Champion if Faugheen does not recover.
