Cheltenham nerves kicking in
I do get nervous before the big races and the big meetings and as everybody knows, when it comes to national hunt racing, there is none bigger than Cheltenham. The fine weather we’ve been having is definitely something I’m delighted about as the better ground will suit well. It’s still a bit tacky at the moment, which shows you just how much rain fell but if it keeps going as it is, it will be fine. But of course we know from bitter experience that it can change in a matter of minutes. We’ve had it all at Cheltenham – Mediterranean sun, heavy winds, lashing rain and ski-slope snow so it’s pointless making any predictions about the ground until we get there.
Oscars Well and Bostons Angel both worked this week and we were very pleased with them. They won’t school until next week so that will put off any potential heart attacks until then! But right now, they are where we’d want them to be to give of their best in a week and a half.
