Min jumped brilliantly all the way round and clearly enjoyed himself today, battled hard for that win! Frodon just looked as if he lost interest after one lap, he’ll be back to his best soon I’m sure.

Also managed to pick the winner at Doncaster so I’m now 2/4 so far for today, would be very surprised if Paisley Park doesn’t make it 3/5.

Well I was wrong, Paisley Park gets run off his feet and after being squeezed out at a crucial point he finishes down the field. Lisnagar Oscar springs a huge 50-1 upset!

I am trying to follow the festival I enjoy Steeplechasing just as much as I love Cross Country. I do wish there was a way for Americans to watch, but it is nowhere and every time I try I have to create a login and since I do not have an English postcode, I can't.

Use a VPN and just search up a random UK address, should work fine.

Missed the Triumph Hurdle but sounds like it was a shocker! Goshen was apparently miles clear when he unseated the rider at the last, oof!

Heading back to Canada a few pounds lighter after the Gold Cup. Had 2 hundred pounds to win on Santini :cry: At least my better half backed Al Boum Photo.

Just hope the National goes ahead amidst all these suspensions of sporting events due to covid-19! Even if there weren’t any live spectators I really want to see Tiger Roll give that 3rd National a go.

Think it will be a no no Carole, in fact come next week the pressure will be to much for the powers that be to conform,

My view , better to be safe than , well you know what comes next

I just feel so bad for all the athletes who are getting events cancelled. For example, I follow figure skating and recently they had to cancel next week’s world championships. Can’t imagine preparing all season for this competition, qualifying, being in your peak condition and then not being able to compete. Things might be totally different in the next year. Like with Tiger Roll, I highly doubt they would keep him around for 2021 to contest that 3rd National in the end.

But you’re absolutely right, safety and health is always above sports and entertainment.
