Cheltenham Festival memories
 
Biggest win - Thumbs Up in the County Hurdle in 93.  I got 20s on the day, easiest winner of a County hurdle I can remember.  I had Jodami in the Gold Cup too that year.
 
Best memory - The third of Best Mate's wins was pretty special.

Could Gloria Victis have gone on to be a great like Kauto, if it wasn't for a fall in the Gold Cup in 2000? SRC member J.Spillerina thinks so. Here are some of his best and worst memories from the Cheltenham Festival over the years - and his tips for this year.

Biggest win - Kicking King winning the Gold Cup, although Tipping Tim at the November meeting many years ago was even bigger. More like that one this year please!

As we build up towards Rupestrian running in the Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham in March, we will be featuring Festival memories, tips and stories from some of our Club members on our Cheltenham Festival 2010 blog.

Biggest disaster - Backing Harchibald (pictured left) at all prices as if defeat were out of the question (ouch!).  Lumping on Rhinestone Cowboy in the 'bumper' would be a close second!
 

Tim Vaughan has been very pleased with Rupestrian's progress since returning to training from a break and is looking forward to running the four-year-old son of Fantastic Light at the Cheltenham Festival in March.
