    Good to see Davy and Dr. Pheonix were OK. Could have made a fantastic finish.

    Folsom Blue surely robbed there. Taken out of it at the last and finished like a train

    Sickener for anyone who backed Folsom Blue there. Coming to win the race but brought to a standstill by the Bellshill/Arkwhist schemozzle, beaten by 1.5 lengths. Still, e/w punters will make a few quid.

    Folsom Blue promoted to 4th and Bellshill demoted...presuming most bookies going five or six places anyway so should only matter on exchanges.

    Well im just leaving fairyhouse now and the visibility is diabolical and while im not his biggest fan, and obviously didnt hear his commentary, i would say most of the crowd didnt know what horse was involved over the far side of the track or near the finish of the national either because the jockeys were covered in muck

    Was looking at the trainers championship and no matter the result, Mullins still is by far the best trainer with a winning strike rate of 33%. Elliotts strike rate is abysmal at just 18%. I suppose if you win 70 egg and spoon races at 10k each it makes the difference.

    But but you still have to prepare 70 winners. And all the losers too.
