    The Cheltenham Festival 2025

    El Fabiolo disappointing there - looks a shadow of the horse he was on that form to not be able to go past Senecia.

    What wins the Cheltenham Festival handicaps?

    So the fact that they changed 2.2 lb to a kg which is correct conversion rate to 2 to 1 means Kopeck is rated 136 rather than 150 !

    What wins the Cheltenham Festival handicaps?

    I am a big fan of Woodhooh that seems very fair to me considering that not only Joyeuse won the Schweppes but the third and fourth have both won listed races since.

    What wins the Cheltenham Festival handicaps?

    I know about the fifth race nonsense - it wa smuch better when it was the third race , the fourth was bad enough and if you have a wet Cheltenham are they going to be running round after the mare's chase changing rail movements ? The Grand Annual should be on the Thursday or Friday end of...

    Champions Day and Pattern Changes

    Indeed , and one of the reasons why racing in this country loses touch with its customers . Consider for example the number of valuable handicaps with here today gone tomorrow names - do any of them attract the interest of the Stewards, Portland,Cambridgeshire, Lincoln etc ? I blame the late...

    Champions Day and Pattern Changes

    City of York Stakes to be a Group 1 Long Distance Cup also a G1 - ffs please give it a proper name rather than this . Commonwealth somehow escapes downgrade although it does not meet G1 criteria . Some meaningless new 2 year old race added to Champions Day no doubt because Newmarket and...

    Ascot Chase

    Pic d’Orhy the only question was whether he was the same horse at 10 - Corbetts Cross’s price over that trip was absurd . Running LHP seems to have backfired badly.
