Hi everyone

The National Hunt season is creeping ever closer (yippee!) so before resident guest Blogger Phil Boyle fully settles down to what could be a very exciting 2nd season hurdling (or Novice Chasing maybe...?) for his very own OSCARA DARA he wants to take us back to that monumental day at the Punchestown Festival. 

You know the day I'm on about, the one where OSCARA DARA barely came off the bridle to record a cosy 3 1/2 length victory at one of the big end of season festivals. Magnificent stuff!

>>>Step into Phil's shoes for a day! 

It is fantastic to have these exclusive insights from Phil as Oscara Dara could well be a big player for the Nicky Henderson yard this term and in some way we can all feel part of the Oscar Dara fanclub :D

Catch up on the last in this excellent 'in my shoes' series of exclusive NTF articles HERE.

Happy Punting guys!
