Day 2 at the Donkey Jumping

Right off the bat, Dan Skelton notches up another home winner, but you can't keep Mr. Mullins down for long as he follows up with the next one only for Dan Skelton to notch another in the third race. Gavin Cromwell snags the 4th race for the Emerald Isle, then it's the big race of the day - The Champion Chase. Another one for the home chaps in the guise of Nicky Henderson. Dan Skelton notched up his 3rd winner of the day with Unexpected Party - how apt that name might be today, and finally Mr Mullins comes back again with Copacabana, the hottest spot north of Havana, to keep the Irish eyes smiling.

Ireland 3 - 4 The Field on the day,
Ireland 8 - 6 The Field running total.

Snoots, SCO and jjamez still have their heads above water.

After a quick meeting of the Schitzophrenic Committeeeehhhh - as this is the only prediction where you have to guess a number (other than the Town decider at the end), they've decided to tell me to let you know, nearest guess gets the point. Half-way through rule changes/ammendments/clarifications are never popular but me and me 3 mates aren't winning anyway.
