Setting up a competition for the winter ahead...another The Racing Forum vs Talking Horses - much different to the previous one.

As you think of them could you put up each of the big race days during the jumps season (please include their date)....English and Irish weekend fixtures e.g Tingle Creek Meeting 5/12/2008. Major meetings that you think should be involved. More details later.

Cheers in advance.
 
Of course, every day is a 'big day' in the Jumps calendar, but to play..........

Ascot
Saturday 1st November (Wm Hill Handicap Hurdle)
Saturday 22nd November (Coral Ascot Hurdle)
Saturday 20th December (Long Walk Hurdle)

Cheltenham
Saturday 18th October (Day 2 - Shaowcase Meeting)
Saturday 15th November (Paddy Power Gold Cup)
Sunday 16th Novermber (Greatwood Hurdle)
Saturday 13th December (Boylesports Gold Cup)

Haydock
Saturday 22nd November (BetFair Chase - which I shall be attending, hurrah!)

Someone else can pick-up the slack.................

Pardon my French, but..................

FOOKING MAGIC!!!

The Flatties can poke their Arc and Breeders Cup up their communal rear-ends - the wait is almost over. :D
 
The Japan Cup and Hong Kong Vase? :D

Depressing stuff seeing that list of principal races for flat fanatics like myself!
 
And you've had Market-Rasen, Fontwell etc. to keep you happy this summer, but it hasn't stopped you fucking complaining has it!

How many days is it until the Craven anyway? :D
