Cheltenham Day One: The Champion Hurdle Puzzle
Cheltenham is back. We are back. A year older. Actually, I feel 18 years older as my first was 2002, living in the Hunter’s Lodge at the top of the hill, seeing things I thought I’d never see. Best Mate. Moscow Flyer. Hors La Loi upset an upsetting Champion Hurdle. Istabraq’s farewell. Sadly, Valiramix as well. Life would never be the same.

The day before the storm
First, coronavirus threatened to cancel Cheltenham. Now Altior threatens to miss it.
Cheltenham…cough, cough.
Cheltenham now 1/5 to take place.
The Aftermath
So it’s the day, the day-and-a-half moment.
Weekend in Middleburg
Nothing like Middleburg, Virginia.
Tangled
Tangled up in Blue has taken over our life.
In the Black
Welcome back, champ.
In the Dark
Each morning, I try to wake up in the dark, click on the coffee, putter around the house while everyone else sleeps. Well, everyone but the horsemen, out in the dark in barns afield.
