Late scare, but the Cheltenham dream lives on

THERE’S nothing like a bit of excitement before Cheltenham and I certainly had my share with that crashing tumble aboard King Of The Refs at Naas on Wednesday.

The horse’s jumping was a trifle indifferent and he got outpaced going away from the stands.

But I had him in full flow heading to the last and thought I might even win. He had other ideas, however, met the obstacle all wrong and sent me spinning to the turf.
