I’ve heard a few rumours tonight that England is going into lockdown for a month next week. It’s been leaked to the press apparently. Not sure what impact it will have on sport and racing, hopefully they’ll continue to allow professional sport to continue

Posted about this in the behind closed doors thread.

Personally find it very difficult to see how sport can continue when everything else is shut down. It's not just the athletes (most of whom are being tested very regularly). You've still got to have people working there in other roles, all of which is for non-essential work. Wouldn't be surprised if there was a month pause on the sports.

To "save" Christmas?

They'd have to do something within the next two weeks?

I can see why the rumours are about

What a lovely piece of commentry on RTV during this race..... listing their best results while going through the field. Loved that.

Found a really good youtube channel -
It's got a weird name but it has Full day TV coverage of all sorts of race meetings including many Cheltenham festival Days in Full.

Some are labelled up badly.
For example the Super Thursday of 2019 is labelled as Ryanair 2019, but has all four/five races

Yeah it is good, she has mashed together ITV and RTV so it's quite long but best of both worlds. I watched Day 3 back last night.

As ever an interesting piece from Mr Rowlands, still casting the doubts over Cyrname stamina.

Makes what Nicholls said straight after even more silly.
Not quick enough for a Ryanair my arse.
Like he'd just witnessed a supreme staying performance.
It does show how bad the others were in comparison, if the timings are to be taken very seriously vs the handicapper.

Warning all....make sure you get the spelling of Fiston Des Issards correct when searching on google and DO NOT leave the laptop on full view until you’ve got the horse you’re looking for as you might have a bit of a shock!!!

I went for a wee not paying any attention to the search list and my wife asked why I was searching for Horse Pussy Fisting - Extreme Porn....that was an awkward conversation

Yeah hadn't clocked the comparative time tbh and the way he cruised up did look suspiciously easy given potential stamina doubts, apart from Vinns horrendous round of jumping the rest don't cover them selves in glory considering the splits and not seeing the race out all things considered.
