Jimmy’s Prediction: “Rosie” is phenomenally talented and brimming with personality. They surprised me last year by not finishing, and I am sure that with the benefit of an additional year’s work at this level, they will do well here this year. They will have a few time faults cross-country, but they will make the jumps look easy.
