I read that Ted Walsh described backing/tipping Somersby as being "unpatriotic" but surely being a Paddywhacker for Cheltenham but ignoring Punchestown, as the Irish public do, is more "unpatriotic". Note, I'm not criticising Ted Walsh here, just those that love Cheltenham and not Punchestown.

However, I do accept that Punchestown Festival is too long, too late a start, has smaller fields and lacks the calibre of horses.
