I was wintering in Australia 94/95 and not due back until April, I remember waking up in Surfers Paradise on the Saturday before the festival and had this unending need to get back, so I managed to bring flight forward and I landed on Monday morning and was picked up by a friend and driven straight to Cheltenham.
I remember having a decent ante post position on Large Action who was the best 2m hurdler when I left for Aus the previous October, little did I know that Alderbrook was planning a smash and grab champion hurdle raid.
Master Oats' Gold Cup win was something too.
Happy memories...
