Can't wait till the next one!

Was great to hear from Gate Dancer, who hosted an exceptional visit to Great Falls two years ago!

Was watching Kelso today and they had a veterans (10 yrs old and up) worth $47K. I didn't think the money was that good for those races. These are the types of races Hunt Ball should be shooting for. Though still a handicap, one would think it would be less competitive than the races he's been lining up in.

Well I'm not seeing his name anywhere (very happy about that too) but was wondering your thoughts...

Saint Are and Many Clouds at 33/1 on this (very) early morning line? Kind of nuts, no?

Love and respect Balthazar King and hope he does it but these two, I would imagine, have a tremendous chance.

Hunt Ball has an entry in the Ryanair Chase during the Cheltenham Festival next month. Don't think he has a prayer, but.....

Balthazar King has been put away until the Grand National. He will no doubt run a place. I would rather see him win another cross-country during the Festival. Thought he would win the National last year, but there is always a light-weight that sneaks in there.

Yes of course he does and, for some reason, that escaped my brain the other day.

Godspeed.

No problem there, he's a lovely jumper. He had an entry at Kempton on Saturday and would have had a better chance there. No world-beaters in this one, but Henderson's chasers just are not doing well. Will be watching.

Well not too much to discuss about his run (of course I love him to death and had already accepted that this whole never actually winning thing should be treated as a rather endearing quality at this point) but what about restarting the race? Thoughts?
