hello all,
long time lurker just thought I would finally take the time to register and contribute where I can.
So I have been interested in racing on and off for 30 plus years although taking a bigger interest when I started working for a bookies. Spent just over 11 years there before our shop closed last year.
Favourite race horse would be the bosses Oscar although I follow many other and this can change. Hope I can continue as much as I can. Ronnie

Great day to make your Festival debut GC.

That was some race followed by a mass invasion of the paddock the likes of which we'll probably never see again.

Yes Nortoncoin, a day i wish everybody could have witnessed
Cheltenham eurpted in a way you could never forget.
My friend and i pooled our money and decided to go all in,
if she lost we were getting the ferry home that night,
if she won we would stay in Birmingham till Sunday
Boy,was i glad i did that.

Afternoon,

I've been enjoying reading all the opinions on here for a while now and it seems like a friendly ego-free zone so thought I'd come along for the ride
Gave up working as an actuary then odds compiler some time ago to concentrate on this full time and so far so good.
Love the festival and couldn't imagine the long winter months without it!
No favourite horse but a bit of a Paisley Park (and Emma Lavelle) fan.

Hi Moby and best of luck

Hi all - like many here I've been enjoying this site as a lurker for the past couple of years, but have now signed up. My interest in racing was started by going with a friend on Cheltenham Gold Cup day in 1995, and have been to every Festival day bar a handful since then. I've been an annual member at Cheltenham for the past few years, and also go to the King George and DRF every year (although sadly not under the current circumstances).

I look forward to chipping in here and there on the various threads (especially regarding the Festival), and just hope that come March we're still able to watch the best horses all competing against each other, regardless of whether any of us will be able to witness it in the flesh or not.

Welcome Block 205. You don’t have a season ticket in the Kop by any chance?

Hi All, I've been a member for a while but have now taken the plunge to become a poster. I've been going to the festival since 2003 but it is only in the last couple of years I've been taking it more seriously and getting involved ante post. I love reading the views on this site and have learned a lot. My knowledge is still a long way short of a lot of people on here and was delighted that the patron system was brought in as finally I feel like I can give something back. Hopefully as my knowledge improves I'll be able to contribute more on the posting front too. Thank you to all those whose hard work helps keep the site running.
