hardly the most profitable cheltenham but i won on the first day and that saw me through to the last. it was a case of out with the old and in with the new with a new champion each day and all equally impressive. war of attrition blew me away as i thought he wasnt that good particularly on his leapordstown run with beef or salmon but he jumped those last two fences like a good thing and is one to dtay the right side of. hedgehunter showed alot of class and e repeat national victory looks on the cards. dun doire should go well in the irish national and maybe this year ruby can do the clean sweep.
as for the football united continue to impress with the style of their two most recent wins. i can see both chelsea and liverpool dropping points to fulham andnewcastle respectivly, particularly chelsea. they have a match against a side who are too close to the drop zone for their own comfort. any way ican see to draws. also i read with interest the actions of some liverpool fans at our match without surprise. i wont tar them all with the same brush but they make me sick. i will leave it at that.

Well its been a while. since my last entry chelsea have been gifted four goals in the premiership and both themselves and liverpool have been knocked out of europe. tactilly both managers got it wrong and the only team who played good football were the only side to prevail. another gift from spurs yesterday and the league is all but over. i do think it will be alot closer come the end of the season and i wont give up until its mathematically impossible to catch them.
on the horse front the nh world cup kicks off on tuesday. sweet wake looks like a good thing in the opener and i will side hardy eustace in the champion hurdle. i like dun doire, moscow flyer, asian maze if she goes in the world hurdle,female in the bumper,good step in the x country,take the stand in the gold cup,denman in the longer of the juvenille races and my old friend,missed that in the arkle. ap mccoy has a great chance to be top jockey and maybe noel meade can break his cheltenham hoodoo and be champion trainer. time will tell. up or down it will be a great week.
