    Thank you very much everyone.

    You know I'm not English and I do not want to write much in case I'm wrong. I am very happy to be here with you.

    And on the other hand I'm also very very happy with Blow By Blow because I took him from October to Albert Barlett 25/1. It could not be there but I already wrote in today's thread that it seemed to me very superior in class to all the horses of the race.

    Happy days for me with Samcro 16/1, Penhill 14/1 and Blow By Blow 14/1. Burning Ambition failed me but ...

    And many thanks to Ron for the immense work done here. I really do not know how he does not go crazy.

    Thanks.

    In a general balance I have had a magnificent Festival. In addition to those mentioned above I also had Coo Star Sivola 14/1. Those successes have covered me the disappointments of Burnign Ambition, Le Breuil, Demopolis (not even seen) the same as Aione, Apple's Shakira (double with Laurina), Townshend, No comment, etc.

    Cheers Mick.
    The most consistent Cheltenham I have had to date with winners on each day at decent prices. Hit the bar a few times but had a brilliant week off work and look forward to next year :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Congratulations to FJ who gained their revenge in the team event in no uncertain manner. As last year the Team Event A, is based on the best 6 scores from each side. With FJ managing to secure 7 of the top 10 in the overall table it's no surprise how this ended

    NB Cashew King also scored £8,750 but only 6 can be counted in the top 6

    Hello not606!

    Just over from the FJ forum to say a massive thanks to Ron for arranging, managing and updating us through the week. Was a brilliant sub-plot and congratulations to Pilgrim and tward07 for the 1st and 2nd!

    I hope you all have had a brilliant week.

    We'll be looking forward to next year!

    We'll done Pilgrim, cracking score, must also give a cheer to my old mate Ekbalco99, 3rd place from 606 and in need of a new liver.
    I'll not dwell on my performance.
    Biggest thanks, of course, goes to Ron for running this.

    Onwards.
