Charlie Hall Chase day at Wetherby

[BlazingWalker]

My camera work isn't great but here's a few pictures from the day.

Mr Crystal returns after winning the first.

Choc Thornton on Santia returning to the winners enclosure.

Barry gets the verbals and Fat Al gets his excuse!

Tamarinbleu enters the parade ring.

Deep Purple canters down.

Tamarinbleu also cantering down.

The gallant Ollie Magern returns.

The 2009 winners of the Charlie Hall - Deep Purple and Paul Moloney.

Lough Derg and Tom Scu head out to do battle.

The very impressive winner Fair Along heads to the winners circle.

Good stuff BW...looked like it was sparsley attended?

 

[BlazingWalker]

Now you see them.....

Now you don't

I just tried to avoid to many people shots Gal. It was well attended tbh,about an average crowd for CH day I'd say,the saddling and parade rings were packed before every race and the paddock enclosure was busy all the time. I didn't venture into the Bramham Hall as they were already standing outside so I assume that was packed too.

Is it me but why go to the racing and stay in the bar and watch it on TV??:blink:

The place looks deserted ..were they all in the bars?

That big glass building is the weighing room hence why there doesn't seem to be many people around. Also the pics where they are coming in/out are well away from the main public areas and only people wanting to take good pics will be there

The back ground of the Ollie Magern/ Deep Purple pic is the pre parade and Im assuming the reason there aren't a lot of people there is that the winner of the big race will at any moment be in the winners enclosure, which knowing Wetherby will have been packed.

I'm trying to work out if they are starting stalls in the background of Santia:blink: and I also spotted a friend of mine in Assistant trainer mode!!

Now you don't

Don't know what happened with these pics but they disappeared but here they are again. Further to my previous post, It was well attended tbh,about an average crowd for CH day I'd say,the saddling and parade rings were packed before every race and the paddock enclosure was busy all the time. I didn't venture into the Bramham Hall as they were already standing outside so I assume that was packed too.

Thanks for all the comments too
