SOON enough the time for talking will be over but that won’t stop me as I’ll be here all next week to keep you up to date with what is happening in Cheltenham with my own runners, while offering some news from the rest of the Irish and anything else I might pick up along the way, as well as my opinion on the big races.

Last Saturday was right up there with the best days I have had in racing. Winning a Grade 1 is fantastic. To win two in one day is phenomenal and for Saludos to follow up by coming back to his best to take a Grade 2 prize on Sunday was just the icing on the cake.
