        I saw that a while back, fair play to them, don't see a whole lot of value from racecourses these days so it should be pointed out when then so and this looks to be a very good initiative from Lingfield...

          Yeah, be nice to see others doing something like that.
          Friday and Sunday are NH days with flat on the Saturday.
          Will be going Friday, watch at home Saturday with Ascot, then probably go Sunday.
          Just got to hope the weather don’t ruin it,Lingfield can struggle with the rain.

            I think I've had more wasted journeys to Lingfield (NH) than any other track, any heavy rain runs down the hill and end up in the straight, it gets bottomless there.
            Hope the weather plays ball for the meeting...

            • Quick note to all members to say the individual race threads will go up post DRF.
              It's been an emotive subject for a few years with some wanting them up very early and some wanting them up very late, once the DRF is out the way we should have a better idea of targets which will prevent some of the mass duplication we've had previously...

                    Entries close at 12.00 and you can usually find them on the site between 12.30 and 13.00.


                    This doesn't apply for early closing races like the DRF or the Thyestes where there is often a 'reveal' press conference.

                    • Noticed Davy Russell to ride a winner at the festival is priced up at 6/4 with Hills. Am I missing something? He’d be on delta work for starters wouldn’t he? And he’s 5/4.

                        I assume the risk is that he retires again before the festival if Jack is back or Gordon wants to give the young guns a shot?

                          Oh no. I feel like this might break my week.

                          That is ridiculously good odds isn't it?

                          What are we missing Him not turning up? Not having the ride on Delta Work?

                            Sky had 2 or more at 8s yesterday. This was before the news broke! Was also void if didn't run! Might look big now!

                              You've got to think him 'retiring' again is no chance or he wouldn't have come back,.... and if he fancied the young guns that much, would Davy BE back?

                                Suppose he isnt guranteed to be riding at the festival?? Jack might end up back in time yet?
