Kitty Matcham

[NoChanceToDance]

The half sister to the ill fated and still much loved Horatio Nelson makes her eagerly awaited debut at The Curragh tomorrow.

I can't wait to see her.

Also on the card is the fascinating match between Henrythenavigator and New Approach. New Approach is said to be the next Teofilo, and Henry is looking to get back on track after his shock defeat in the Phoenix the other week. I'm going for New Approach here, who has looked the real deal in two starts to date and he should handle the heavy ground much better than Henry.

MMSC....... could you post the races on here, i'm not sure where you get them from and when i do it they seem to go wrong...... or maybe i'm just lazy

Every time I see his name I feel like I'm being stabbed in the heart.

Here... might as well post all of them.

Good luck to kitty.

Warsaw to win, no disrespect to Henry or NA. I just like him and hope he does well.

[NoChanceToDance]

Thank you so much for that.......

Yeah, i miss the little fella, i think i always will. If Kitty wins tomorrow i will be so happy.

[NoChanceToDance]

Wow........ New Approach was impressive. He has made Henrythenavigator look pretty moderate.

He was on the pace all the way which was very fast and he has ended up winning quite easily, and after the race Kevin Manning had a hard job pulling him up, this horse is something special.

[NoChanceToDance]

Jim Bolger just described New Approach as the "european secretariat"...... that is some comment to make!!!!


Kitty didn't win, i'm afraid. She was still a bit green and immature. She was small, just like lil Horatio
