‘sup?
This afternoon.
Via RTE:
From RTÉ Documentary On One, a new documentary series telling the life story of two time Aintree Grand National winner Tiger Roll, The People’s Horse will broadcast tonight on RTÉ 2FM as part of Game On and is available to binge on podcast now ahead of this Cheltenham Festival season.
The story of Tiger Roll is one of hope and success, of an unlikely champion and a horse who has captured the hearts of the nation.
Tiger’s story is that of the ultimate underdog. From his birth in March 2010, RTÉ Documentary on One follows the young Tiger Roll through each stage of his life and career. Broadcasting every weeknight as part of Game On on RTÉ2FM, this is the ultimate build up to Tiger Roll’s final race at Cheltenham on Wednesday March 16th.
At the age of 3, he was sold for £10,000 because he was considered a failure, his career nearly over before it ever began. That was until Michael O’Leary took a chance on buying him and trainer Gordon Elliott began to build his confidence; this series reveals his struggles and triumphs on and off the track telling the story of his journey into the world of jump racing.
Available to listen on RTÉ 2FM as part of Game On every weeknight from 6pm tonight.
Tiger Roll: The People’s Horse (RTE)
A millionaire’s horse.
I can’t wait to find out more about this horse.
…oh dear…the week before Cheltenham…sad old trope about horses that are good at running round in circles and jumping ever things…please…the price money at Meydan for one mediocre race would beat Cheltenham for a full day…
Riveting stuff. Will surely top the ratings.
What do you call a horse with only one leg?
Clip!
Gorgeous!
Ugh! You’re all such a [collective noun] of equine philistines*!
… until ye win on the gee gees then it’s partaaaaay like Teflon Bertie :P
*with the exception of White Dove obviously.
You’ll always have the neigh sayers
Reign it in Mad and don’t try to stirrup trouble.
…and, definitely, don’t allow yourself to be photographed sitting on top of it when it dies – while on your phone and giving the victory salute.
Why can’t her?
BB, I would never do such a thing.
I can, however, reverse the ‘victory salute’ with ease right backatcha.
A pinker in the middle would be rarer.
Dream on.
Does your head hurt?
Thinking does that.
BB – thinking? Not in your case anyway.
Although, if you’re into Karmic or Tantric sex then you’d better get a move on – particularly if you’re obsessing over me and trying to get the last word.
Either way, I’m not going to waste my youth mucking about endeavouring to saddle a colt* on BS.
*young ass or young camel are alternatives.
