5/05 Fairyhouse....Fella said to me about a horse called Ross Accord (around 4s). Came from course apparantly

Got Aran Concerto rang thru to him  yesterday

He got a word for Aran Concerto?  ::) Just as well as it is such a low profile horse you wouldnt back it otherwise.

Sad to hear that Wichita Lineman suffered a fatal fall at the first. Terrible fortnight for Johnjo O'Neill.
As I dream about movies they won't make of me when I'm dead

Jez never heard that, always remember that ride by McCoy at Cheltenham on Lineman.

Unfortunately so. A very bad couple of weeks for Jonjo O'Neill.

Terrible for AJ Martin as well, he was completely gutted about the death of Clarified in Cheltenham, he thought that horse would go on to be the greatest that he trained, he was still mentioning him yesterday morning and kept going on about hoping that all three came home safe. Drumconvis was another talented young horse who had much promise. I've a lot of time for Tony myself and a big blow to the yard to lose two good horses like that.

That is unreal,its only the more I watch racing the more that I appreciate good horses.I still havent got over Exotic Dancer.Like what a horse.He never knew when he was bet and always gave it his all.Im sure he's seen it all before but it must be serious tough on John Joe O Neill to lose his 2 stable stars in 2 weeks.
Changed my mind at the last minute from Fisher Bridge to Carthalawn.20-1 feck sake :'( :'( :'(
