Hadrian’s approach RIP.

Ironic that he was well used to jumping over walls but it was a fence which killed him.

That comment is bordering on grossly insensitive . You could have pict a better time.

[Julio_Geordio]

I’m sure sid meant no offence

Of course, the irony is that despite making great play about their Irishness, a lot of these horses are servile, West British lickspittle toady types when it really comes down to it. A quick look at the list of Irish winners of the Cheltenham Gold Cup will confirm this - Imperial Call, Kicking King, War of Attrition, Imperial Commander, Lord Windermere, there’s a fierce bang of British Army officer class envy from all of them.

Great to see Jessica Harrington, the daughter of a British Army brigadier win the big one for Ireland.

She’s a wonderful lady and Robbie Power is a wonderful guy. I was delighted for all the connections.

Geoff’s lack of etiquette exposing him as a bullshitter here, schoolboy error on his behalf.

The most notable Imperial Commander to be murdered since Lord Mountbatten.

[gilgamboa]

He would have had his balls cut off at a v young age mate

He spent his formative years in a field across from my house.
