    • Not that I would expect anyone to care or be troubled by my inactivity on the forum of late but to just to let you all know I’m struggling again with tendonitis in my right arm and it gets aggravated by typing and texting. Just to post a message like this causes me quite a bit of discomfort and pins and needles in my right hand. It comes and goes but I’ve been using tools most days during this bout of dry weather so I’m struggling. I’m still reading the posts but trying to rest my wrist when I can.

      Good luck everyone at Punchestown. I really fancy Chacun and Envoi to run riot tomorrow. I think Champagne Gold is a solid place option and think Dysart Diamond will run a better race than his effort in the Coral Cup and I can’t see anyone catching Echoes in Rain. The handicap hurdle races in the Irish festivals are massive so not staking much tomorrow as some of the races are mind fields.

        Do you think it has anything to do with the mid morning habit returning ?
        Or maybe the period of restraint ?

          After 43 days of abstinence I proudly announced my achievement to my wife and her two friends who she was chatting with out the back when one of them
          asked my I was looking so smug. I explained my wondrous feat and they looked at me like I had just told them I’ve just ran over their cat. None of them congratulated me or appreciated the effort and discipline needed to beat the saviour himself’s record of 40 days in the desert. I felt quite deflated and daft so waited for my wife to walk the dog the next morning and completely drained my system watching the best of Ben Dover in the 40 minute window of wanking and ended up blocking the toilet with quilted 3 ply toilet rolll...really need to use the right toilet roll for the right job!!

              She has to win today if she's going to be a Champion Hurdle horse. If she lost I wouldn't fancy her for the Mares either.

                Today it looks like Willie has entered her again over 2M against the geldings for a 5th time on the trot, to see if she can show her recent spectacular form in her first Grade 1.

                If she can, then I don't see her going anywhere except down the route towards the Champion Hurdle.

                If he wanted her to run against the mares,he has had plenty of chances to do that this year, but hasnt taken one.

                  Problem is it’s a terrible Grade 1 so it wouldn’t change my opinion of her.

                  She wins she’s won a Grade 1 in name only.

                  Yes it’s stepping in the right direction but even winning today she still has a lot to find with Honeysuckle and the likes for me.

                    I suspect the Mares in Ireland and England for that matter are far superior to the geldings this season so I wouldn't read that much into it.

                      I am reading lots into it.

                      All a horse has to do is beat what’s there.

                      The Mares are dominating. When does the next good one go for the Stayers Hurdle. The Champion Hurdle market is all Mares near the top now.

                        Yep, I'm surprised more don't go for the Stayers. Perhaps we'll get a couple heading that way next year. Telmesomethinggirl?

                          I want to back her but no one will price me up.

                            I've asked 365 for a price. Not sure if I'll have any more luck, but I'll let you know if I do.

                                25/1 with Skybet if you can get on with them. No cash out isn’t great though. I’ll be interested in a price from 365 if one is forthcoming.
