My cliff horse Sutton Place is declared in the hattons grace - feared he'd been retired

Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done
Sunday is my 4th favourite days racing of the year. Never miss it.

"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."
Fabulous card. I've bet Quick Grabim in the Royal Bond but Commander In Fleet will be tough to crack. Heading to Newcastle for the Fighting Fifth so it's going to be a brilliant weekends racing.
Hope all yer horses have their wet suits, been some rain over here the last three or four days.
Inch of rain expected before racing.
Hope to be present to cheer on David's Charm in Bar 1 hurdle .
a great day's racing no doubt.
It's back on RTE too
Fairyhouse really undersell this weekend. It's such a shame

I first went there in 1986 when The Iliad won the handicap hurdle and Barrow line the Drinmore; .Holsten Pils sponsored that day after years of Benson and Hedges handicap hurdle won by Captain Christy and co and a 3 mile B and H handicap Chase which came between Troytown and Thyestes chases Nov and January.
Hattons Grace was first run in 1994 when Danoli beat Doran's Pride.
The Grading of NH races followed soon after if not by then Slim, but always (from 10years old) this was the best Irish NH day pre Christmas.
archie (1st December 2018), granger (30th November 2018), Grasshopper (1st December 2018), redundant pal (30th November 2018)
Some good names there edgt.
Remember Dorans Pride and Dunwoody beating See More Business & AP one year.
Some race that turned out to be. Wealth was a bit more evenly spread back then!
Im looking forward to seeing Discorama step up in grade.sunday.
The bumper horse if better than Malone Road will be worth the entrance money

Quick Grabim looked good today.
Commander of Fleet looks like it needs 3m

Remarkable what a change of tactics can do.
Untouchable
WPM on ATR saying Ruby went with Plan B without saying what Plan A was (drop him in presumably), wouldn't rule out further but if he performs like that at today's distance that's where he'll stay. Sounds like Christmas at Leopardstown will be the next outing "when we should find out more".
Impressive the way Delta Work got back up after the blunder at the last

That was a most enjoyable afternoon's racing. Apple's Jade was outstanding, the two handicaps were absorbing and there was some great jockeyship. But as Davy Russell said when talking about the novices on RTE, we haven't seen the biggest guns yet.
Stunning days racing. Quality from end to end. Apple's Jade is a special mare.
