Djakadam looks like going into the history books as a nearly horse. He's only 7 and could well turn it around, but for once a Ricci horse keeps running into one. Hope Don Cossack gets the credit he deserves, I for one have been very late to the party.

Take this with a pinch of salt but when I was down by the winners enclosure I was within touching distance of Thistlecrack and I saw his right nostril was extremely red, I didn't see blood but I remember thinking I'd never seen a nostril that colour before, the left one wasn't as obviously red.
Perhaps horses have veins in their nostrils and after 3m of championship racing the blood pumps through it gives the impression that the horse has bled ?
I have no knowledge on the make up of horses, does anyone else ?

I got told he put in an exceptional piece of work a week before Cheltenham which probably explain why he was punted into 13/8, but he only held on a neck with a fast finishing pack closing, I think next year will be tough for him but at least you know his target !
Also, if he goes in at Aintree and/or Punchestown you can probably lay some off and have a free bet (if that's your style)

Been thinking again about the Mullins battalions.
Splitting the Ricci horses is one way to go at it but maybe the real lesson from this year is they go where Ruby wants. His record is such that it is hard to argue with his judgement but there will always be the possibility that horses end up in the wrong race because he cant ride two.
The Wylie ones need to go in the mix.
What we know is that he has already nominated Arkle for Yorkhill.
We also heard that he wanted Nicols C to go for the World Hurdle.
also Black Hercules is a good ride in the Ryanair allowing Vautour to go somewhere else.
Just thinking out loud

Thistlecrack 10/1 gold cup
£5 trebles and £5 acca.
That is it until after Aintree.
I usually say my goodbye's here after the Fest, but this year I am going to hang around until Aintree. I need the racing to keep my mind of work.

As a NH fan I feel deflated after Cheltenham because that what the season builds up to, but as others have pointed out there are big meetings at Newbury coming up, a decent Haydock card this Sat, Aintree, Sandown (Whitbread day), Punchestown, Perth and then you get the regular Summer cards at the likes of Newton Abbot, Stratford, Worcester, The Rasen etc, there is plenty of NH stuff to keep us interested.
This place was like a ghost town at times last year, I hope this can be avoided in the upcoming Summer period
