Profitable festival but probably my least enjoyable from a racing perspective.
Tuesday and Wednesday (my favourite two days and usually the best 2 days), we're pretty dull.
Have to start referring to State Man as Allan Wells! Champion chase (my favourite race), was a damp squib too.
Thursday and Friday saved it in many ways, Gold Cup in particular.
Enjoyed the raceday experience, managed to get a table in the members bar each day.
Regarding the parking issues leaving on Tuesday,, what did they expect? I meet friends every day of the meeting who drive in, and they don't park at the course. Plenty of places to park within walking distance at a fraction of the price if you plan it properly.
