IT’S funny how so many people can watch the same event and see so many different things. Some will see what went right, others will see everything wrong, and some will choose to remember what they want, whether positive or negative. Whatever way you look, you are as entitled to as the next person to see as you wish because your opinion is your own.

What I watched on more cameras than most others, and had the pleasure of being able to dip in and out of at Cheltenham last week was much the same as I expected or experienced in the past. This place was never all magic but merely provided moments of brilliance and excitement which papered over the cracks that were always there — and
always will be.
