    Absolutely hilarious

    I love O’Leary. Used to think he was prick, but he genuinely just doesn’t care.

    I remember forum member Luke stating at the start of the jumps season that he was considering backing Minella Indo for the Gold Cup at good odds for a good amount or 'life changing amount', I think he said.

    I know he backed it when it fell over Christmas.

    Let's hope Luke was on yesterday.

    Fair play to Minella Indo and her backers.

    She definately got over the fall.

    I didn't do much over the first three days.

    I got a return from Fakir placing on day three.

    I wasn't expecting much on the final day although on this very day I backed Milkwood each way, Vanillier and Porlock Bay, so was pleased something went my way, although I wish I'd had a bit more on!

    More interested to hear what excuses he uses when she doesn’t travel over.
    Alcohol, because no good story ever started with "I was eating this salad..."

    Toying around with things he was

    I think the talk off this being a bad run was premature

    He is a fine horse to win as he did

    In fact if i had a choice of owning Monk or Envoi

    I'd own the Monk

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

    That loose horse on the outside looks pretty pleased with itself!

    Great photo by Tracy. I saw she was voted HWPA Photographer of the Year 2020 and well deserved. Can’t remember what name she went by on here but it was some time ago?

    Yes a really nice girl as well, who always stops for a chat be it Newton Abbot or Cheltenham, Aintree or Punchestown. The award was a long time coming for one of the hardest working members of the racing photographers fraternity who has had to overcome quite a few obstacles in life.
