what a massive crowd at cheltenham today . it was bigger than kempton on boxing day and twice as big as the likes of ascot and sandown get for better meetings. whats their secret to sucess?
Seemed very busy today – more so than the Open Saturday, although that may in part have been because the enclosures weren’t divided today.
