We have talked about going to Paris and to racing at Auteil a few times here in the house. Would be a good step on from Leop and Cheltenham.

Some day. Maybe a better day after the disappointments of the past few weeks

Iā€™d have been similarly inclined as yourself but itā€™s hard to beat the arc weekend in Paris. Fair crowd from Ireland over. Perfect sized crowd as well.

Ya some tough defeats for ye but better to be losing premier minor a finals that winning b ones in the long run.

If you have a prosecution pending (I donā€™t by the way), and the prosecuting Garda dies, the case is thrown out.

Thereā€™s probably some technical details Iā€™m missing in the above statement but generally itā€™s true.
