If you havent seen on Twitter I will be counting down the days to the start of the Festival in Style by doing a Memory a day. If there are any races you feel should be in the blog feel free to put your suggestion forward and i will read it and who knows, it could make the next blog.
Barizan - JCB Triumph Hurdle 2010

Its very rare you get a runner up given a cheer that matches that of the winner, but even now i find myself cheering on Barizan up the hill thinking 'he will last home this time'. On a personal note i backed him at 25/1 a good 4 months before the race after he won at Market Rasen. This brave 4 year old the Cheltenham crowd roaring when he skipped over 3 from home, it was just a matter of what could catch him. it turns out the Soldatino was the only one that could live with him. To say the Evan Williams horse ran his heart out is an understatement but this horse will go down in the Cheltenham History books as one of the best losers at the festival and will forever remain in peoples hearts. GO ON BARIZAN!
