Past the bushes

[Refuse To Bend]

I can’t remember the last time I heard a television commentator stating “past the bushes”. I seem to recall it was quoted all the time.

The more I know the less I understand.

I don’t the bushes exist anymore, RTB.

Well I did think this but I’m sure I saw them today, maybe different bushes

‘As they past The Bushes 2 and a half to go’ was always a regularly common comment made by the TV race commentator calling the races when I was growing up watching the sport.

I do remember back in the day they were quite a large prominent feature that you could always see on the TV but I also do seem to recall that they were nearly lost altogether after suffering from some kind of disease.

To me they are just as iconic as the The Dip and should always be referred to by any race commentator during a race

They were removed when the clerk of the course caught Ginger camping in them and doing his own wind direction tests

Classic Nathan.
Still say I saw bushes will be watching tomorrow don’t care about a Town In Troy.

The more I know the less I understand.

I”ll have a good look for you on Sunday RTB and report back.
The Bushes were reportedly where King Charles 11 would stand to watch the racing so obviously no winning post in those days otherwise he’d need a decent pair of binoculars from there.

Great Meme Nathan 🤣

At Punchestown they have removed the approach that brings them towards the entrance of the straight.

On the Opening Show this morning Jason Weaver referenced the bushes when talking about a race.

I’ll also be there Sunday so I’ll see you in the bushes looking for Gingertipster.

He called past the bushes in the 1.45
Paused play and there they were.

The more I know the less I understand.

I think I prefer “approaching the bushes” to “past the bushes”
then we get “into the dip” before “hitting the rising ground”

It was more a defensive push than hitting the rising ground with COT
