2 Winners, 2 Seconds and a Third... but a bust if I had had money on it.
But loved every minute. Rachael Blackmore had two winners and two falls. Worth the pain I suppose. The Irish won nearly everything. Always bet on Irish horses at Cheltenham is my advice.
At 15.40 before a long chase, the sun suddenly came out. Everybody's favourite horse,TIGER ROLL felt the sun on his back and brought tears to our eyes with a last hurrah:

5 Cheltenham wins, two Grand Nationals. What a career! Only a little horse.

Thursday 18 March horse racing at Cheltenham, and I need a big winner!
I think I have got one.
FURY ROAD at 10-1 in the15.05. Racecard | 15:05 Paddy Power Stayers''' Hurdle (Grade 1) (GBB Race) | Cheltenham | Sky Sports Horse Racing
Came Third to Monkfish recently. Monkfish is a monster. I might actually put my hand in my pocket and bet on Fury Road. BTBH, I think Friday's Gold Cup race looks more interesting.

It was all pretty disastrous for me.
What happened is Bryony Frost set off at a fast gallop on Frodon in the 15.05.
UK & Ireland Results - Horse Racing - BBC Sport
Most of last years Jumps contenders absolutely collapsed under the pressure. DOWN went Santini. Lostintranslation did no better. Champ did not live up to his name.
But heck. I am more of a flat man. Watch the Derby in 2021.

England facing a massive 50 overs total against India! 336.
But our boys are giving it a go.
India v England - Cricket - BBC Sport
Jonny and Ben hitting out. But I suspect India will bowl a couple of tight overs and drag us down. But who knows?

Let's see. 18 overs left. 118 runs to get.

Quite fancy our England chances. But a quick wicket will change everything.

It's all good fun. The Scots have surprised everybody this year at the Rugby.
Deep wailing and gnashing of teeth in the Footie Republic of Ireland tonight...
Republic of Ireland 0 - Luxembourg 1

Shocking.

Is it just me? Or did England scrape a narrow footie victory tonight?

Good to see Harry Kane score another one. And England's most over-priced defender, Harry MacGuire get the winner. 2-1!
If Lewandowski had been playing we might have lost. But luck favours the brave.

Report from Stockholm 2021 ISU Ice Skating Championships.
I was won over by Anna Sherbakova in the female solo:
Anna SHCHERBAKOVA - FS World Figure Skating Championship Stockholm 2021 (1st place) - YouTube
My heart was in my mouth when she fell on her backside on the first difficult jump. But a brilliant recovery. And a difficult routine. One to watch.
Strangely the Pairs left me cold. Not a patch on Aljona Savchenko and Bruno Massot near faultlessness in 2018.

Of course I am still totally smitten with Katerina Witt from 1984:

Perfect. 6.0.

The 14.50 was a top class race. Not surprised that Clan des Obeaux won. Tiger Roll limped in 4th.
The main interest is the Grand National:

Quite fancy Bristol de Mai:
Full Result | 15:00 Betfair Chase (Grade 1) (Registered As The Lancashire Chase) (GBB Race) | Haydock Park | Sky Sports Horse Racing
Better horse than Clan des Obeaux IMO. But da bookies are still shut.
