Not sure where to post this so I'll stick it here. RMT Union plan on having a nationwide strike on Thursday March 16th. My knowledge of UK unions and who/how many workers they represent isn't the best but it sounds like there may be limited services for those traveling to/from Cheltenham by rail on that day.

Anyone know when hills refund NRNB bets? Got between waters backed and just wondered, I went on live chat and they told me the bet has lost because it’s antepost, which it isn’t as I placed on the 3rd of Jan, then tried messaging them on Twitter and they said entries aren’t yet out for that race (they are) and they will be settling bets after the race.

Not sure how they manage to employ people who know fuck all about betting.

…Tom Scudamore has announced his immediate retirement, I doubt it’s to give him more time to watch his beloved Everton.

I wish him well.

Horses have to have wind ops and headgear declared in the interest of transparency and possible improvement in performance. On this basis, does the fat jockey forum feel that female jockeys ought to declare a possible change in their performance related to their cycle? Perhaps a red blob on the racecard?
taken in an unbiased and totally tounge in cheek non misogynistic way of course

It originates from a loss of one of the Williams sisters, when long odds on. The rumour, was that the loss may have been attributed to the time of the month. And therefore , perhaps in the interest of punters should have been declared beforehand.
I know, it’s probably weird. The more I look at it, it’s probably just plain wrong.

And closes quite the family chapter as jockeys from his grandfather through to his father, passed down to him. Their book with the help of Chris Cook was a wonderful read.
