    Just talking to a few guys about rides in the Cheltenham Festival and horses coming from the clouds Wichita Lineman and Al Ferof obvious ones, but then thought of Dun Doire(I think it was him anyway for Martin and Ruby) would anyone know where to get a replay for this race

    Got him good there alright, quite enjoyed that preview to be honest. The last one I was at had Davy Russell, Richard Johnson and Matt Chapman and have to say compared to this it was terrible

    CHAMPION jockey Tony McCoy has admitted that this year's Cheltenham Festival will be one of his last as the record breaking rider heads towards his 40th birthday.

    Read the full story at: http://www.racingpost.com/news/horse-racing/a-p-mccoy-mccoy-this-cheltenham-likely-to-be-one-of-my-last/1615168/

    This was a bit of an eye opener. McCoy has been champion jockey as long as I've followed racing and I've never been able to hide my admiration for him as a sportsman. But nothing goes on forever & he, Ruby Walsh et al will retire eventually

    The apparent proliferation of the word "sucks" is deeply worrying

    The apparent proliferation of Leann Follain in bottled form on Tuesday night is far more of a cause for concern

    Guys. Got some friends here that still have accounts in Ireland as they are just passing through.

    They want to know what Irish bookies are best to join for just phone accounts and to avail of new customer offers ?

    Asked this in Boyles yesterday and was told as soon as the horse is a definite non runner. Not that I'd trust what shop staff say.

    Waiting on a phone call to start a new job. Hoping it doesn't come for another week now, especially as my stag is next Friday. Would be just typical to be told I'm starting Monday and working all week.

    I'll probably be the lad asleep in a corner of oneills at 11 o clock Monday night. Wake up then at half 8 to get the enhanced morning prices and so drunk I'll probably double the stake I planned
