Many thanks for the good wishes. I was struggling to post x-rays and video to the forum so ended up writing a blog detailing the last 48 hours http://www.cheltenhamdream.com/blog-...tic-three-days. Fingers crossed he is on the road to recovery.

Positive update, hoping all goes well over the next few weeks of box rest. Best wishes Paul, hopefully F2D gets back on the track soon and irons out whatever niggles he has had of late

Thanks for the update, enjoy reading about the journey

Whilst, I guess, not out of the woods just yet, it is great to not only read about the positive update, but also see the images and video of him post op, so thanks for sharing Paul

Great to read he has come of the initial surgery well - yes it is early days, and extended box rest can be tough on them but I have no doubt you and the rest of the team will continue to give him the best chances of recovering.

Really interesting to see the x-rays and post op video.

Look forward to seeing where Freedom to Dream heads next - enjoy the rest of your time in IRE.

It’s great to get this type of insight, thanks for the time you give the FJs. Hopefully all goes to plan for your team.

An update on my current holdings:

Willie Mullins
Since Kemboy retired to Lancashire, I'm just left with Captain Kangaroo who has had a nice long break. He should be back in now and will be aimed at long distance handicap chases.

Donald McCain
Esme Shelby now retired.

Sam Allwood
Von Melas was retired sound to a good home.
Coningbeg came home to me and, after recovering from her injury, we managed to get her in foal to Dartmouth. Next February promises to be exciting.
We joined a club that is running Ballynaveen Boy through the summer. He's lowly rated and been slow to learn his trade but we're persevering for the time being.

The latest venture is a small syndicate for 2 horses from the PtP arena.
Rehill Relic won his only point very nicely

Orbys River failed to complete in 2 races but came recommended from Harley Dunne as good value.

This link should take you to Sam's website.

I think that there are still a couple of shares available and Sam is prepared to consider half shares if anyone is interested. Both horses are back in training having summered well and, as they're just at the cantering stage, should be ready to go in 6 to 8 weeks.

Enjoyed the Blog, few chuckles in there. Good luck BOF

[Kevloaf]

Good luck tomorrow brother!

3 lines in and laughed out loud, which is impressive.

[RufusFlynn]

Excellent update - I'm sure the full version would have been equally enjoyable!

Good luck later today - hope he comes back safe & happy.

Also great news re Surprise Package - fingers crossed the recovery continues to go to plan.

[ComplyOrDie]

Haha this was brilliant Bayoffreedom

[Lobos]

Should take up Stand Up Comedy BOF !

Have a great day today and best of luck with FTD.

P S. Make sure you staple that X-ray photo to the heads of all the horse racing protestor twats!

[Joleg]

Great read, and great news re Surprise Package

[RufusFlynn]

Best of luck tomorrow Bayoffreedom - hopefully get your lads season back on track.
Fingers crossed for a decent showing - and most importantly - home safe.

Thanks so much! I remain hopeful and think, on his best form, he could run a big race. More excuses and rationale in the blog: http://www.cheltenhamdream.com/blog-...-must-be-crazy
