I'd rather think about this than Cheltenham 2024 at the moment!

Some good horses travelling over for this. Rebels Romance is 8/1 with Buick riding for the Sheema Classic. This seems a big price but I am not sure about him on dirt. He is a turf horse, surely?

Finally, are ITV showing the meeting on one of their channels? Why do I have it in my head that they have covered the meeting in years gone by?

Looks like its on ITV4 for an hour after racing on Saturday - so probably just the big race I'd imagine.

Sheema is on the turf! Won't matter as the fav Equinox wins it
 
ITV showing three races from this meeting including the Sheema Classic.

I'll be rooting for Rebels Romance each way. I can't desert him after that last win at the Breeders Cup.

Deeply impressive.

Terrific run from Westover considering the state he was in beforehand.

As an aside, it it possible there is a marginal gain to be made from whatever material the winner's 'silks' are made from? They look kind of plasticky. (Not that it mattered a bit.)

The Japanese are definitely getting a lot right on the breeding and training front.
