    The O'Learys should send a few quid to the connections of the loose horse.

    Rachael rightly praised for all her good work lately will be embarrassed by that unseat.

    Actually happened before horse took off, jinked on approach, put brakes on and her right foot came out of the stirrups. No chance.

    What a load of boll*cks... Apart from the last two hurdles he was like poetry in motion. One of the best hurdlers I've ever seen, just ran a bit keen, especially when Rachael unseated. Ran well and will undoubtedly still be in the picture over 2m in most races he enters.

    Mick Fitz must surely have a video of some producer having sex with a child. Has to have some sort of leverage on someone to be so widely used and be so brutal on television

    What a pilot is Blackmore.. About the only jockey I'm happy for when she wins (as long as she don't beat my selection :D) , even if I aint bet on her (I didn't)

    Another hype-job Eileendover beat into a moderate 4th :D

    Great win for her after her fall earlier. I didn’t really notice her during the race as my eye was drawn to Elle Est Belle who was my selection. Was disappointed to see her beaten but, as you said, you have to be happy for Rachael!

    Wasn't really watching the race myself, as only had telly on in background... Just watched a few of the earlier races, and made a cup of tea when the bumper was on... Saw the finish, but didn't even know what jockey was aboard until the commentator mentioned her.... Purposely didn't look at the form for that race; lest I thought either Eileen or Elle Est were good things... :p

    Great day. Known Joe O'Shea for 30 years. A real character. Brilliant to see a man who really knows and loves his racing winning on the big stage.
