  • Inevitable he'll be pulled. The race is late in the day so conditions will dry further.

    • I'm about to say what ever, but have to throw this one at it, Edwarestone and CH taken out due to the ground being too "good" ... but L'Homme is still running today - a horse that could do with Soft conditions

      .... what ever

            Still trading on betfair so assume CH still goes at this stage…

                  • It really is frustrating! All it does is give the folk that say racing is all about Cheltenham the chance to pipe up once again!

                    Horse ran on proper good ground at Cheltenham, the ground is perfectly safe but yet at one time of the year it’s ok to run but not another time of the year. It’s a complete joke!

                      Or the BHA...

                      But it seems to be common knowledge on Twitter.

                        • If it really is good to soft that is such a disappointing decision.

                          • You would wonder if the racecourses are asking Trainers to defer the announcement till last minute
                            Wait till everyone is on course
                            If it was announced yesterday it would cut attendance considerably

                              Absolutely this. Get a refund punters. Disgusting. Clearly the ground conditions are faster than they are advertising.

                                Yeah, can see that
                                Can see the going was swiftly switched to Good not long after CH was pulled out
