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 !

Not so much fun on course DO. Racegoers should be presented with a balanced programme .

Not entered !

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.

Yes ,dry and sunny with temps up to 13 degrees . Fingers crossed.

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...

The BBC forecast is suggesting a long period of dry and sunny weather until the weekend before Cheltenham when it turns changeable . I suppose the question is how changeable but it would be great to have a good to soft ground Cheltenham this year .

I want to know what idiot does the race planning at Cheltenham - running the Grand Annual straight after the Champion Chase strikes me as ridiculous.

Yes that’s the point - there are no G1 races over 18f - not that I am saying there should be .

Aren’t they run over 16f - the Doncaster Cup is over 18f like the Cesarewitch .

York invested in it - Newbury didn’t

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...

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...

Too awful for words. RIP and condolences to family and friends.

Wonder if H de B’s Harry des Ongrais will turn up in the Jack Richards novice hcap after that impressive win at Gowran?

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.

Boothill out for the season too according to Chaparse.

Considering how badly he has run this year -albeit his AF recurred on his first run I am not quite sure why I fancy Captain Guinness sneaking in to the frame . Cheltenham record is excellent though . I think he was coming to win the Supreme when Asterion Forlobge took a number of horses out .

Fingers crossed - whenever infection suddenly worsens like this I am always reminded of the brilliant filly Chriselliam dying over winter after her Fillies Mile and Breeders Cup romps . Hope Sir Gino is rapidly on the mend.

Am I right that they are taking all the headgear off Bravemansgame ? Tends to suggest they have accepted that he in decline rather than not trying.
