Thank God for Shammy.

How they went 15/10/2011

Ascot 3.35 - DICK TURPIN (EACH WAY) - 5th/8 - Dissapointing.
Ascot 4.10 - TWICE OVER (EACH WAY) - 10th/12 - Looked hard at work from a long way out.

Cheltenham 2.05 - SHAMMY BUSKINS (EACH WAY) - 3RD @ 40/1 Cheltenham 2.40 - EDGBRIAR (EACH WAY) - 8th/8 - Pulled hard for first part, front ran, never asked any questions and faded dramatically.
Cheltenham 3.50 - FROSTED GRAPE (EACH WAY) - 4th/6 <--- Non runners reduced field number. Never looked comfortable, got in close to fences and never looked like winning. Lucky to even finish 4th.

So thanks to Shammy Buskins I just about broke even, but everything else was a disaster, including France beating Wales in the Rugby.

Great to be back at the home of jumping today, but I've got to say that the highlight for me, and many others (even the hardcore jumps fans!) was the mighty machine that is Frankel. He yet again made the others look like donkeys.
