Nail the colours time. Plunged on the Fly at Betfair 3.

Hurricane Fly, you beauty. Thank you for saving my Festival. i waded in with most of my week's budget. Was shaking like a leaf watching that.

I'm absolutely delighted for Hurricane Fly.

There has been so much bollocks written and talked about this horse across the water - he doesn't like Cheltenham, he only beats the same horses in Ireland, he needs cut in the ground, Montjeus don't get up the hill, the Champion Hurdle he won was a poor renewal etc. All the doubters were well and truly put in their place today. Everything went wrong for that horse during the race. He was off it all the way down the back and yet he still arrived there at the second last pulling a roller, pinged the last and stuck his little neck out up the hill to the line. Magic.

Was some performance alright, i must admit i doubted him myself but boy oh boy is he a fighter. As Ruby said he has a massive Heart and he needed it yesterday. Was a great feeling to see him come up the hill and make all the doubters including myself eat humble pie, he can fairly go through the gears when right. Gwan the Fly
