    wins again at Cheltenham.

    I remember starting a very similar thread this time last year. What a legend this horse is. How long before they name one of the cross country races after him?

    I think Le Duc would have given him a lot to think about had he not unseated Sam Thomas but thats the name of the game round the Cross Country course and Spot The Difference is foot perfect every time and gives his all up the hill, a true legend of the scene.

    I like it, the Spot Thedifference H'cap. They could change something on the course every year.

    Who'd have guessed they'd put a few landmines a furlong and a half out?

    Collapsed after the race as well:(

    McManus doesnt need him running at his age, the writing is on the wall for the old chap, let him retire gracefully now :)

    brilliant horse, a true great of the game. collapsed today at the end after all the effort put into the race, the sense of relief when good oul Spot' got up though was wonderful.

    I had 1euro eachway on the casadei at 66/1 would have been pissed off if any other horse apart from spotthedifference had beaten him. Fair play to the horse a true legend:cool::cool:

    Was lucky enough to over at the meeting on Friday and I can honestly say I've never witnessed such an amazing 10 minutes at a race course. It summed up everything National Hunt is about. The joy of him powering up the hill, to the few minutes of stony silence after his slip up, and then the sheer delight and emotion after he emerged from behind the dreaded green screens and the cheers that followed him all the way the parade ring. It was absolutely amazing and will live long in the memory.
