Unlucky BoF, however your blog always puts across your enthusiasm for the game.

Always enjoy reading it.
 
Well done sir :encouragement:
 
Well done BoF. I'm looking forward to reading your next blog!!
 
A brilliant read as always BoF and congratulations once again - I bet it's a feeling that'll take some beating!
 
I am going to keep posting on this thread for no better reason than it brought us luck last time. There's a real shortage of races for us in Ireland so we've been forced to go for a Listed Race at Wexford tomorrow. Tiger Roll will be favourite but I think Domesday Book will take the world of beating. Anyway, we will give it a go. http://www.cheltenhamdream.com/blog-diary/
 
Well done BoF. Haven't seen the race yet but a cracking result. Delighted for you.
 
How exciting! Read this for the first time prior to the race, saw the result and read it again! Really good read!
 
Could Cheltenham be on his agenda again this season?
 
Well done BOF, delighted for you.

You should enter him in the 3m handicap chase on day one, the handicapper will make him carry 10lb more than his Irish rating and the trainer will whine and moan away for days, then he'll win 6l....

We're not targeting Cheltenham but, if he was well and in good form, we would certainly consider it. That handicap on Tuesday would be a possibility but I wouldn't rule out the four miler or the Kim Muir. At the moment we're struggling to find a race given we want a 6-7 week break between races and, for now, want to keep going left-handed in smaller fields as he gets experience. Not sure what handicap mark he'll get - probably low-mid thirties. All suggestions welcome.
 
Bay of Freedom booked for a Donny gig this Saturday.....
