Don’t worry, I’ll be acting like I’m Butch Harmon for 4 days, too

Aye am at Cheltenham and Perth so defo well up for those

This period always so weird. You've roused yourself for Aintree after full-on lead-up to Cheltenham and now riven with relief, nostalgia and melancholy that they're both over for another year

We are joined by
@RichardHoiles for this week’s episode of Betfair’s Cheltenham…Only Bettor on Wednesday. Any questions for the great man or about the weekend gone/weeks ahead?

For anyone in the Manchester area who fancies an evening talking about the best jumps horses around (bar Sir Gino, unfortunately)

Defy anyone to listen to this and not be roaring with laughter at least once

Not much has happened obviously (!) but any questions for the Betfair Cheltenham…Only Bettor Christmas Review recording tomorrow please?

Not sure we’ll be seeing much UK racing early in the New Year looking at those early forecasts! 🥶☃️

Tremendous snap by Alan Crowhurst at Ascot today

Documenting the moment my delight turned to despair!

We need putting down at this point after the bits of optimism. What’s the opposite of a ‘new manager bounce’?!

Any questions for Ep.4 of Betfair Cheltenham…Only Bettor from weekend just gone, please?
