Paul, as always thanks for updates ,
looks like a silly decision to go ahead
cheers

This is starting to get rather farcical and suggests that the course authorities are wildly at odds with connections. It doesn’t do the sport a huge amount of good.
Disgrace – ran one race so they don’t have to refund racegoers money, stacks of NR’s and the jockeys don’t like the look of it.

They know more than us, horse and jockey welfare is imperative and rates higher than racegoers welfare.
Tramore late off.
Hello,
Surely there now MUST be an independant assessor to determine the going prospects the day before or early morning.
It is quite embarrassing getting thousands of people, customers, horse connections and employees to a place in the "hope" an event takes place..and possibly the paying customers get nowt back!! FARCE!!regards,

Agree safety is paramount – but the question still is should they have raced at all?

they want to give it every chance..
i need it to go a head my phones been buzzin with a lay that is guna hava job to jump the first flight..
hes tipped down the page so i should clean up?A silly question perhaps but, given that a lot of people will have travelled to Cheltenham expecting a few drinks and perhaps a meal, if racing had been cancelled would they still have been able to stay at the course and perhaps watched racing from other places on the screens? As all the food etc would have been prepared, could the racegoers have been given their money back but money would still have been made from the catering etc.
There was a very telling comment from Andy Clifton on Five Live at 10:11 this morning.
"… even if racing is off the bars will be open for the customers to use."

They should open the paddocks to the public so they can go and touch the horses, like a stable tour with the bars still open etc.
