Cheltenham 2008 - That Was Special!

Sunday, March 16th, 2008

Time, dear reader, waits for no man. And that includes me. So this is a very short post to thank you all for your kind words regarding the Cheltenham trends posts, which proved to be… well, really bloody brilliant actually!

As you might imagine, I’ve had a few beverages over the past few days (and it’s St Patrick’s Day tomorrow…), so find myself massively behind in my research work for… the flat season, which starts on Saturday!

But fear not, for my tardiness is your gain (what?!), as I’ve prioritised the race meetings scheduled for the first week of the season and will make this available as a freebie later this week.

This buys me some time to sort my life out, and hopefully whets your appetite for what’s to come. :o)

Anyway, I need to get back to it, so thanks again for your kind words, some of which I’ll copy and paste anonymously on here in due course, in a blatantly self-congratulatory fashion, which I trust you’ll forgive. (I will also take the time to reply to you when I get a minute, but please bear with me for now).

Before I close though, I wanted to share this email with you from Mr BJ (I was tempted to mention his full name, but felt that would be a little churlish…)

Any respect I had for your judgement went well and truly out of the window today .

Your statement that the winner of the Champion 2 mile Chase was the lay of the meeting was complete and utter rubbish .

This horse won in a hack canter and although you admit to getting it wrong it gives your credibility a zero rating .

I doubt if I will read any more of your blogs after this fiasco - you have simply lost it !!!

B**** [name blanked out]

It seems you can’t please all of the people all of the time!!!
