Fontwell races who goes???

[tictactim]

Hi all, iv recently moved to Portsmouth and intent to go fontwell races as often as possible to win a few quid from my friends the bookies!!!!

however currently i’ll be plodding along on my own like an out of sorts nag.Im 25 and "easy going" thought id take a Punt on here at trying to find a few people to go with or meet at the meetings to share my expert knowledge with. happy betting folks and good luck

I go to Fontwell a few times a year, there’s a two-day meeting at the end of the month I might attend if the quality of the racing is good enough, unfortunately its normally pretty poor.

Planning on going both days. Nice little course. Top tip is to go watch a chase from the middle of the course as you can stand opposite a couple of the fences and really get close to the action.

You get a better view of the racing from the middle of the course than their awful new grandstand. Another reason I don’t go there so often.

There’s a tempting 0-145 class 2 handicap hurdle being staged on the 1st October which might pesuade me to go

I will be going to Fontwell tomorrow (Fri 30th), if anyone wants to catch up.

Potentially some decent races, an £18k class 2 chase, & a couple of class 3 hurdles. Just hope the sun doesn’t dry up the ground too much, & ruin the field sizes.

Early on, I’ll be upstairs in the old Kerman stand at some corporate do, but will be around during the all of the racing.

Drop me a PM if you intend to be there. I’ll look in during tomorrow morning.

Maybe its me but it doesn’t look a classy card to me at Fontwell on Friday. Yes the grade 2 hurdle has attracted a good field but the meeting starts with a distinctly average novice hurdle, probably full of horses who can’t jump, and that’s followed by a race where Paul Nicholls runs a 4/9 shot.

That’s not my idea of "come racing"

[Colin Little]

Maybe it’s because I’m going Phil, but I think the class 2 chase is a cracking race.

It has the makings of a real burn-up, particularly on this ground, with a several of them normally racing up with the pace. You’ve got class horses like Safari journey & Rippling Ring (who could be different class off 128 if he if is the same horse as he was in 2009), against some solid progressive chasers who are happy in this class, like Oceana Gold, Exulto & Zorro de la Vega.
