                      Punchestown tickets now on sale. Apart from earlier start time, the reserved enclosure is no more and tickets are access all areas (apart from hospitality). Price is 30 euro or 27 each for groups of ten or more.

                        It would add an extra layer of amusement for me if more people on this forum had their own special catchphrase for big moments. So if anyone would like to take on one as their own, I would suggest any of the following:

                        Great Scott!!
                        That's showbizzz!!
                        Wowawewa!
                        Here we go ladieees!
                        Mama mia!!

                          The way the last couple of days is going, would bollocks suffice.

                            Preferably a phrase that can be used for any occasion, so yes.

                            • Unlike Bet365, Betfair have actually opened up cash out on Gaelic Warrior bets, albeit at much reduced returns, for those that are wanting to get out of any bets.

                              • I know everyone is getting excited for the October meeting at Cheltenham next weekend, and rightly so, but the weekend of the November meeting, Friday to Sunday, 17-19, we also have here in Ireland, the two days where there’s racing in Navan grouped together for the first time. Saturday 18 & Sunday 19.

                                Troytown Chase, Fortria Chase, Lismullen Hurdle and supporting races.

                                What a weekend is in store. Top class racing at both Cheltenham and Navan.

                                I wonder when we look back after March, how many Festival winners will come out of both meetings. I suspect Navan will come out on top but it’s not a done deal.
