I still would like to know when do the BHA step in? Complete silence. This is a showpiece event and mainstream media will be waiting whichever way it goes.
Imagine if CH falls at the 1st or last and breaks his neck. The image will be plastered on the front & back pages of many newspapers and all over the TV news channels and not just in the UK. There will also be a social media frenzy & furore that horse racing has never seen the like before.
This isn’t just Hendo & Buckley’s decision. This is a racing industry decision.
And exactly what can Yogi do to replicate race conditions over padded hurdles with the noise of the crowd etc? Jumping over rails isn’t going to sort out the horses mental block.
