Where we get our winners from is not really the point. Like you, I don’t really care where they come from, but I do care about the future of British horse racing and its ability to compete with the best. If we didn’t have quality horses here, who is going to come to compete? Cheltenham may be the place to be at moment, but how long will that last? People are already looking to The DRF and if you fast forward fifty years I wouldn’t be surprised to see Cheltenham as a minor player attracting only second class horses. The complacency of the BHA and Cheltenham itself astounds me.
