Maybe a different picture for each horse.
Like them old fashioned photo booth shots.

Most amazing thing about Fitzy's insight article is that it filled a whole page, when just a picture of him with glazed eyes would have done just fine.

Personally I’d be completely shocked if she doesn’t go mares hurdle this year. The best fit would mean the one she’s the most chance of winning surely. What’s she going to be for the mares on the day 4/9? And if she’s declared for the champion hurdle 9/4 roughly? She’s only 6 and will want to break her Cheltenham duck this season and fully prove herself at the track given Golden ace beat her last year. Then next year then can start thinking about the champion hurdle if she wins well. The only way I see her running in the champ hurdle this season is if something happens to Constitution Hill
I was really hoping to see her jump fences as she reminds me an awful lot of Mighty Potter...but now the more I think about it, if she were to beat Con Hill, they might just look at retiring her for breeding. What with the quality of horse Matnie has produced, if BDA was to be successful in that sphere the O'leary's might have half an eye on their breeding operation.Long bitcoin, long gold, long silver, long g/s opening day Cheltenham Festival

Why skip DRF then with BDA if she is targeting the Mares Hurdle? Assuming Lossiemouth goes Champ Hurdle if BDA goes Mares then she will have 20lb in hand on RPR over the next best of Jetara. She could have run at the DRF then still gone Mares and run a stone below her best and win easily as she has that class edge. In my mind, she was saved so she could peak in the stronger race.
