Very nice!

I haven't watched replays yet but in Dick Francis... is Celestial Halo alright? Love him to death.

Is Ruby alright? All I'm seeing is that he was taken to the hospital and nothing about Celestial except that he fell.

Full results and can someone tell me what RR means (King Johns Castle, last one listed)? Hope the others are okay.

Those who say horses only run because people whip them, need to watch this race. No amount of encouragement could inspire King John's Castle to take part in this race, while numerous horses who had shed their riders continued to race and jump, having a fine time running around the course with their buddies.

Nice one Ian and fair play to McCoy - was delighted for him.

King Johns Castle may have been the smartest horse out there today
