I watched a second of it and remembered Rooster Booster, Best Mate..... it's just that i think I'm gonna have a heart attack seeing it, holding my breath for each horse, each jump.

I do like Iris's Gift though..... would prefer just to read about him and cheer him on when the season starts.

Iris's Gift was one of the best hurdlers of recent years. he beat Baracouda and one of my all time faves Limestone Lad, fair and square... But his owner wanted to win the best prizes over fences and it hasnt quite gone to plan.. hes a great horse, he just needs to get his jumping right. As everyone says "Jumping is the name of the Game!"

On another forum in a parallel universe, I was pretty much told he was in over his head (... in a very nice way, of course) every time he ran.

I shall continue to cheer him on (... even if I don't watch till it's over and I know he's safe).
