Now tiger has retired let's hope Gigginstown hurry up and wind down their operation

The handicapper was right though

Jesus, gutted doesn't even come close. Ground played a huge role today in helping some and hindering others, Tiger was the latter. I can't believe DW was good enough over his obstacles to beat Tiger, but that as they say, was that. Glad he retires happy and healthy, and what a deserved retirement it is. The word 'legend' is criminally overused but its a word that describes Tiger to a tee. He's a legend.

He was an aeroplane again today - a joy to watch despite/inspite of the result. Owes me nothing and deserves any and every plaudit that comes.

Owner a weird one isnt he

Was too engrossed in the moment with Tiger almost doing the business to notice, but what the hell happened with the french 'good thing' Prengarde? Only heard 1 or 2 mentions for him.

Safe to say Delta Work is the next coming for this race for the foreseeable it seems. Great performance on his XC debut.

I was watching him during the race, he made two pretty horrendous jumping mistakes and that was pretty much it. Never really seemed to comfortable, and with his age, no need to continue so was rightly pulled.

He was never ready, I was told that at a private preview the week before, my guess is they ran him purely for experience and that may well pay off in years to come, but the strong vibe leading up to Cheltenham was that he wasn’t fit/ready to win…
