FAO Pogue

Now it's finished Pogue, how did the Cheltenham festival go for you?

I came out down but not by much. For my first time betting on horses it wasn't to bad

I only backed two winners and had two horses placed over the 4 days of The Festival Mo so was down about A£160.

Some cracking races but never seen so many rank outsiders win at Cheltenham and a crying shame that four horses perished and some jockey's were badly injured.

I was only staking A£50 per day.

It was a great week for the bookies and most punters/tipsters got hammered.

Always next year.

I was there the last day of the old Rugby Park, I think Tommy Burns was Killie manager then. They beat us 1-0.

Tommy Burns was a below average player with bizarre hair.

He was a very good player.[/quote]

Indeed he was AJ and the bellend Woland in another of his 'look at me posts'.[/quote]

I thought you were ignoring him [/quote]

I am Mook by way of never replying to his daft posts.

As for four horses sadly passing away that was terrible. I know that The National is dangerous for the horses bit didn't realise Cheltenham was. Is it usual for any horses to pass away at Cheltenham or with this a very sad one off ?

Four horses perishing was dreadful Mo but it is a high risk sport for both horse and jockey...only one horse died in 2013 and five in 2012...we also had the terrible injury to JP McNamara last year and he is still partially paralysed.

Horses are replaceable but humans aren't as Ruby Walsh stated earlier in the week.

...but always posting that you are ignoring me to ensure everyone knows it and thus bringing attention to your actions, which really defeats the purpose of ignoring me in the first place.
