Do we need a new race?

[Relkeel]

I'd like to see a cross-country chase for greys only.

 

[Bar the Bull]

Veteran greys, I say.

 

[LUKE]

Mares or geldings?.

It should probably also be restricted to AQPS-bred winners-of-one.

The Irish ones don't count. They're afterthoughts...

The others are hardly festivals. They're two/three day meetings with one or two serious races.

The Chester and York meetings in May are very hit and miss quality wise. And honestly, most year's you can stick the July meeting where the sun don't shine. Bastards.

There's really no point in having any race meetings outside of Cheltenham in March.
Everything else is an afterthought.

I'd make it more like Punchestown and let the Cotswold Vale Farmers run their Hunt race as the opener on the Wednesday

A few years ago watching the 4 miler looked like that anyway . The amateurs are , however, much improved .
