Quite a bit of blue on oddschecker for Midnight River in the Coral GC…….clearly hoping the Skelton bandwagon continues rolling I suppose
5lbs lower than last year, when fell…..and a different approach to getting race fit this year with having a run in a handicap over 2m 3f at Wetherby rather than running again in the Charlie Hall

IET "not quite right" this morning so won't go in the John Durkan. I've cashed my King George bet on that basis. I am not sure Willie would send him over FTO.Comment

Judging by the way bookie accounts favour casino games over horse racing they must have followed suit!Originally posted by HoldenTheReins View PostComment

Rare column in RP from JP about the field sizes for handicaps at the festival.
Think he has a very fair point.
In fact this idea throughout the season in other high graded handicaps would help to slightly increase the fields in some of the slightly lower grade handicaps that struggle to make double figures.
It's kind of less races (options) really !!
Reducing to 18 runners Max would definitely make it more competitive to get your horses a place in the field.
Which for the Cheltenham festival it should really be for the best animals.
Using the county as an example
The lower rated 120's and 130 rated horses should really earn their way into the festival handicaps with wins or big runs in other big handicaps during the season or their career.
And those rated in the late 130's, low 140's should really be sweating (and maybe running more) than they do these days.

Reminds me (embarrassingly so) of years gone by. I’ve been a Cheltenham member for close on 50 years. I thought I knew the lay out etc. Me and a mate always went into the Sovereign Bar. But it used to get pretty hectic in there even though the views from the stand is excellent. Anyway we would often look at the Insurance bar stand and wonder how much extra you would need to pay to get in there. After many years we asked the question and were amazed to find we had been entitled to go in there for years! Talk about red faces!Originally posted by OverTheLast View Post
