Would have been Sir Peter's 100th birthday today. Enjoy!!..... the one and only Desert Orchid winning the 1989 GC.
For those too young to have ever seen Dessie race, he's doesn't take a lot of spotting.

Without a doubt one of my favourite live sporting experiences. What a spectacular race horse he was.PeanutsMolloy said:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hsau32l_vYI

I would add that Sir Peter was the finest race commentator of them all - and up there with commentators of any sport. Not just that, I had the immense pleasure of being in his company on many occasions and he was one of life’s true gentlemen.

Bid and won a painting of Red Rum signed by Sir Peter and he presented it to me and can certainly second that he was a true gentlemen3

Despite connections maintaining that Samcro is still going for the Ballymore, the potential soft ground has either meant that punters are putting two and two together and backing the horse for the Supreme - or some people speak with forked tongue!0

On the flipside to her putting up Oxford Blu, Frank Hickey from Paddy Power who does Racing Post Podcast and has a decent record has put your lad up as a betPolzeathNick said:Unlucky. The worst pundit/tipster by an absolute street!!! Can't legislate for that sort of thing unfortunately.

Samcro gamble I think is because a well known Tipster put up a bet yesterday at 16/1 but only if you get non runner no bet and his thinking was behind the soft ground0

I lumped on Acey Milan in the Champions bumper, purely based on the fact its an excellent name1

Has anyone come across any good cheltenham previews yet? Always enjoy reading them but haven't seen anything yet.0

This is by a young chap called Callum owns shares in a couple of horses mainly flat, but as a freebie I think this is a great preview https://issuu.com/callumconnochie/docs/cheltenham_festival_preview_2018_/1?ff=true3
