Thanks for doing this only just seen it.
JacThings turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Will give it a bash, Nathan
You've got to accentuate the positive.
Eliminate the negative.
Latch on to the affirmative.
Don't mess with mister in between.I know it might make it tricky Nath but just a pre warning I will be putting two reserves in most race because of the ground but otherwise am looking forward to it

As the IHB seem more flexible than the BHA for last minute events, maybe if postponed, they will roll everything back 24 hours. Then have Saturdays Racing Sunday and Sundays racing on Monday, or a mix and match of the races tomorrow and Sunday of some format.
