Good to see this comp running again Nath. Cheers.
I’m 99% sure I saw that there’s a 1:15 race on the Tuesday. Is that deliberately not in the comp or just an error?
Thanks MOM
Looks like it’s an added race European Breeders’ Fund Fillies’ Maiden Stakes div 1 with div 2 at 4.45Gaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026
Racing was originally due to start at 1.50 but there were 36 runners at the time so tbey split it and added another division. So now 8 races starting at 1.15pm.
They do this a lot through the season with lots of entries for the maiden races so best to keep an eye on Wednesday and Thursday.Looking forward to this Nathan and thanks for doing it.
Will be there for the first 2 days, can’t wait, so have to get my picks in early Monday night..Jac
