I’m an avid horse racing fan who often has his head in the form book. I have been properly into racing and thoroughly extending my knowledge of the sport for the last 3 or 4 years and it doesn’t matter if it’s the flat or jumps, I’ll watch it.

Then the other way, James… Read More »The Pep Talk – The Cheltenham Festival 2023
Faugheen Novice Chase Willie Mullins has a phenomenal recent record in this contest, winning four of the last seven which includes two of the last three, Al Boum Photo more than likely would have won for him in 2017 had he not have fallen at the last and Getabird was a narrow second in 2018.
