Legend is a muchly Overused term in society, and I'm guilty of it.

No way is he a "legend" its just that I and a fair few friends always look out for this guys video's for the Chelt festival, he's started these videos a fair few years ago.

Very much looking forward to it now

Going for Day 1 meeting up with Martin

Still can't believe Hurricane Fly was 4/1 without Binocular crazy price, also can't believe what a cock up Henderson has made.

I can't wait now, all the build up and the wait's almost over. Would love to be there and meeting up with you and Martin for a pint.

It's not Henderson's fault though, is it? Binocular had to have treatment for his allergy and the substance would've still been in the system. As for the people complaining Henderson should've declared this weeks ago, I disagree, why should he? a lot of horses will suffer little setbacks along the way. We don't need to hear about them all.

Get yourself there

Maybe being harsh but his record with vets and meds recently has been poor.

I'd love to be there, mate. I'd have been in there RLFans meet up too! I'll have to wait to Aintree now.

That's where I think a lot of the criticism is coming from, mate. He has a record of this happening and people are peed off having back Binocular but it's the nature of the beast isn't it, I lost out on Riverside Theatre (having him ay 10/1, I'd have been sitting pretty now!!).

Dont go mad, its the hardest meeting of the year, so keep stakes simple. But savour the atmosphere and enjoy yourself. If the Irish win one of the races, especially the Champion Hurdle, get yourself to the winners enclosure sharpish and be prepared to be deafen by the roar from the paddies as the winner comes back to greet them all.

I was lucky enough to go many years ago when Istabraq won its first CH and the atmosphere was electric.

Just waiting to see if Wolf Moon sneaks into the handicap when the final decs come out this morning. I dont think it will, but if we get a bit of luck and it does, I think it has an each way chance at a nice price.
