I am. But then any normal human being half a grand down with seconditis would be.
Quote of the week: ecstatic and possibly a little drunk owner to Alice on Channel Four immediately after one race: ‘It’s great! He [the jockey] always tells us if it’s going to win or not!’
Must have been a nice touch. She looked a little giggly in a ‘er your not supposed to say that’ sort of way. They moved on swiftly.If you love racing, then I can’t see any way you can be "sick of it".
Value Is EverythingI’m just a normal human being, you see Ginge. Three days is enough I feel (and only a small percentage of races have justified the hype). I’ve had three winners but didn’t have enough on them as is the way. Would have done but haven’t – couldn’t – have been confident about any decent priced horse except rock on ruby. Yes yes, this because I’m rubbish and you’re brilliant (haven’t checked your tip column yet this week though).
I bet the bloke who had thirty grand on grand crus is not doing a jig now!
Good quote though wasn’t it? (will have to remember it when receiving future lectures on the transparency of racing).

Never get advice like that on the morrrrnin’ line now do we. Funny old thing that now, isn’t it?
Concerned for you Prof.
Don’t you waste those brilliant brain cells on worrying about me, ginge. I’m good as gold. I’ve had fallers, a death, and seconditis. I *happened* to find myself thinking: I could have done with finale day today.
Tomorrow could turn it round if Burton Port or Midnight Chase go in. Maybe I’ll find the winner of the grand annual – i did last year at 55/1.Troll? TROLL?
Is anyone who ever reports, note the word reports, anything that doesn’t put a good spin on racing, a troll?
Don’t shoot the messenger.
No not sick of it all.
Superb racing today.
Big Bucks was a joy to behold.
Riverside Theatre against Albertas Run was a superb race.
Then there was Sir Des Champs who could well be the best chaser around and could well win next years Gold Cup.
Brilliant racing and tomorrow to come.No not sick of it all.

Brilliant racing and tomorrow to come.I backed AP on AR. It was a good race and I didn’t mind being beaten but what niggled me was that any race round chelt where a horse i’ve backed runs the way Riverside Theatre did all the way round you KNOW it’s ******* but of course here it didn’t work like that.

Cheltenham is very hard work ‘on the ground’ IMO……it looks like the logistical nightmare it was when I last went to the festival 10 years or so ago…..shoulder to shoulder you have to decide if you want a bet,a seat or a drink but all three or any 2 from 3 can be very difficult to achieve…….not my idea of a day at the races and I’m afraid to say its better on the TV even despite an atmosphere on track that moves me to tears.
I will give it another go one day and intend to stay at the Festival for the meeting to try and avoid that other nightmare of trying to get there but I’m afraid I don’t miss being there.
As for people who have £30k on the outcome of any horserace,much as I love racing I can’t imagine how rich I would have to be to think that £30k or anything like it is a good thing to have on any horse in the modern era when there are much more reliable things to bet on in other sports.Crazy
