Ruby Walsh: Cheltenham Festival chiefs making the best of a logistical nightmare
A general view of the Ballymore Novices' Hurdle during day two of the Cheltenham Festival last March.

The performance of the week goes to Hugh Morgan for his skill and determination aboard Young Dev at Navan last Sunday when he not alone managed to complete the course with no leathers and irons but also managed to grasp victory from what looked like an impossible situation.
Of course, it was possible — most things are, if people try hard enough — but it sure was unlikely and the pure power and strength of his core fitness is very hard to explain to people who never rode a horse.
