Well, that was something, what a Festival, absolute Irish domination, fantastic performances all round and what a thrilling day Friday was, so many close races. Furthermore, we ended up in plenty of profit despite a couple of seconds (Gold Cup in particular) that on another day would have heralded a day for the ages.
Full review and round-up tomorrow.
The whole purpose of this blog was to get us to to the festival and be in profit, I think that has safely been achieved.
