    Didn't back a single winner but cheered on Sprinter Sacre. What a win. Henderson should be knighted.

    Given my shocking punting, I hereby declare I will give up betting, join Animal Welfare groups, stop eating meat and wearing leather and live in a cave. Oops, wrong thread.

    would of had a lot more riding on thistlecrack if yanworth didnt get turned over yesterday, definately think its his race to lose.

    Most difficult day of the week punting wise.
    Vautour and Thistlecrack in a double.

    Still buzzing after Sprinter Sacre yesterday and those people that get a kick out of damning horse racing, really can't understand the affection that there is amongst the racing community and its followers.

    I managed to survive the two days in tact - but what a two days. Four winners Tuesday and four yesterday which adds up to my most profitable Cheltenham ever. I was hitting the same bookmaker and ended up getting to know him quite well!

    But nothing takes away from the sheer joy of watching Sprinter Sacre - in years to come I will always be able to say 'I was there'. Magical day.

    Back in the office for a rest!!
