The 2026 New Year's Day Racing Thread

[Ian_Davies]

As many of you will know, 2026 has already been declared: "The Year Of The YFUSA" in various countries and cultures around the world.

And, to commemorate this, YFUSA has decided to initiate a thread and may very possibly put up a Lucky 15 or some such to get 2026 off to a flier.

YFUSA has been looking at: Cheltenham, Musselburgh, Windsor, Southwell and Newcastle while consuming his favourite biscuits which, contrary to popular urban myth, aren't Hob Nobs or even Chocolate Hob Nobs, but are instead the produce of Lottie Shaw's.

With the Jocks claim Il Rodoto is chucked in at Cheltenham in the handicap chase. Seems regressive though + the 14s you could've got yesterday, has evaporated. No thanks at the moment.. Right pub time.

I think multiple pubs after that winner the other day, Robi.

Well done mate.

I have one tomorrow at a massive price. I'm trying to remember if you were all nice to me over the Xmas.

Well done mate.

He probably owns multiple pubs after THAT (BSP 147) winner the other day.

If I was, it was accidental.

Took 12s and 14s before decs. He may be regressive but the mark he's off with the claimer on is ridiculous .

Main bet is Eagle Fang in the novice chase. Regents Stroll has done frig all over fences and is ridiculously short.

Mustn't hold that against him, some of my best friends are 'vertically challenged'!

Having friends you can look down on has to be the way forward in 2026.

My New Year's Day Lucky 15 will be for short arses only - anyone 5' 10" or above won't be allowed to back them.
