I won't be able to go this year but I will be glued to the TV for the whole week! I've always liked the original 'Downtown', written by Tony Hatch (who also wrote many signature tunes for soaps such as Emmerdale, Crossroads and Corrie) Roll on Tuesday, and listen out for the roar of the crowds as the first race gets under way. The best sound in the world.
The good old days of Kauto Star and Denman. I am looking at the 2022 gold cup field and wonder the distance spread for either of those 2 in their prime vs this lot. 10/11 20+ lengths.
it was pretty cringe when i got there on friday and they played it but over and over by the entrance, once the festival was over, listened again and now i love it!! can't wait for next year.
Singers so far, after 3 viewings :Nicholls, McCoy, Barry Geraghty, Mick Fitz, Andy Stewart, Clive Smith, McCririck, Davy Russell, Jessica Harrington, Tracey Piggott, Eddie OGrady, Nicky Henderson, David Pipe, Carl Llewelyn, Colm Murphy, Derek Thomson, Paul Nolan, Tom Taaffe, Anthony Bromley, Charlie Swan, Luke Harvey, Noel Meade, Andrew McNamara, Mike Cattermole, Steve Mc Manaman ??? (Paisley shirt at back had horses with Martin Pipe few years ago)
on Horse & Hound website it says that only 50,000 downloads are needed for this to secure number 1. so if the 17000 people who have watched this video all chipped in and brought it off iTunes thats... what... about 1/3 of the way there? im no good at maths LOL but it would be nice to see this at least in the top20, top10 would be even better, but Nnumber 1 would be the icing on the cake! GO TEAM KAUTO! xxxx
HELP:_ Recognise all the others but does anybody know Whos the girl stood next to tommo @ 0.18 or 1.36 or 1.52 or 2.50 ..... Thanks if you can help.... Cheltenham 2 weeks people !! ;-)
@leannebooth So try, so much false advertising within this song, "The lights are much brighter there...". They have quite clearly never visited Hesters Way.
What a great fun way to promote the festival and the charities. You have got to buy this when it is released on March 8th. To get to number 1 you need to sell about 50000 copies. Come on Guys lets get it to Number 1
Can someone help me please? Showed my nan and granddad this song, and i was wondering if i could buy this of amazon or ebay? I've checked both but can't seem too find any. Help would be much appreciated.
kauto all the way...kauto,Kauto all the way....True star,,,and paul nichols for the meetings championship,,A dead heat would be nice with Denman,,,but i think kaotos got a bit to much for him...?

Ive been going to the festival since 1981 when Sea Pigeon won the champion hurdle, so if you have never been.. get your ass down there.
on Horse & Hound website it says that only 50,000 downloads are needed for this to secure number 1. so if the 17000 people who have watched this video all chipped in and brought it off iTunes thats... what... about 1/3 of the way there? im no good at maths LOL but it would be nice to see this at least in the top20, top10 would be even better, but Nnumber 1 would be the icing on the cake! GO TEAM KAUTO! xxxx

@Ma5terjediporta Technically, Cheltenham cannot die, it's land. Other than the organisms that enhabit on its land, Cheltenham is unable to die.
