FUJI 16,175 Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Had a run down the M6 today to see what was billed as "one of the greatest steeplechases" in modern times ") ..the supporting races were top drawer too..came home with an empty wallet but I didn't mind as to see the elite in action in any sport is worth more than a few quid IMO.. Champion jockey A P McCoy boots home another winner in a supprting race on More Of That in his quest for 5000 winners.. Tom Scudamore on board Gevrey Chambertin..brother to high class Grands Crus celebrating his victory in the Fixed Brush Hurdle.. Gevrey Chambertin heading back to the stables.. Nicky Henderson and top jockey Barry Geraghty deep in thought.. Peter Buchanan steers home easy winner Nuts & Bolts in the 3 miles 5 furlong steeplechase.. Moujik Bourget and Liam Tredwell just edge the first race of the day in a thriller.. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
