Dear BHA
If anybody happens to be on here and read this then please please will you consider running the Peterborough Chase next Saturday at Haydock Park.
Not only is it a Jockey Club Racecourse like Huntingdon but it will be on C4 on what is an average card so will be a welcome boost for racing but will be for the greater good of the sport.
Whilst it is doubtful the Henry VII Novices Chase will not be run this race is important for the 2m4f performers and it must be run so please move it to Haydock as it will be most welcome by all those in the sport.
Thank you i hope.

Good idea! I’m going to Haydock next week so that would be a more than welcome change. A word of warning though: I was planning to go to Haydock for this meeting last year too but it was frozen off.
To be honest, I think they should’ve moved the whole Huntigdon card to Cheltenham today. Cheltenham evidently have frost covers that actually work.
I know, i was in the members bar at the time but thankfully managed to get to a local football match albeit dressed in my clothing for going racing in, dont know if you have ever been to a match in a tweed overcoat but i did.
Should be ok this year i hope, just hope they can get the Peterborough and maybe even rename it the Manchester Chase for one year only.
Having seen the forecast for the week ahead which suggests winter is set to return with a vengeance I think it’s a case of cram as much NH in as you can before Friday
The goodish card at Exeter on Thursday would be a sorta-suitable afternoon for the Peterborough, though in truth the race seems a lost cause now
Bad luck Huntingdon. Top marks for trying
looks like both Bangor and Newbury have offered to take it on according to the Cornelius Lysaght twitter

18 FSL16 A BPWell done Paul. It’s definitely a race worth saving, and being on Wednesday gives it every chance of beating the return of arctic conditions.
Newbury, in my view, is an excellent track and is an eminently suitable venue.
Bad luck to Huntingdon thoughPersonally, I will be there at Newbury, if it is on. So good for me. But normally I’d be against it. I am sure there’s another race every runner could go for over the Christmas period. So it will take horses away from other races?
However, it might be the only days racing we will see before feb.
Value Is EverythingI know, i was in the members bar at the time but thankfully managed to get to a local football match albeit dressed in my clothing for going racing in, dont know if you have ever been to a match in a tweed overcoat but i did.
Should be ok this year i hope, just hope they can get the Peterborough and maybe even rename it the Manchester Chase for one year only.
Even though it had been on The Morning Line that morning that Haydock was on, I made a last minute switch at the station & went to Wolverhampton instead.
In my best ‘County Enclosure’ suit & I’ve never been so cold in my life.
Drone is spot on:
Well I may or not have been spot on weather-wise, time will tell; but was spot off track-wise as for reasons unknown
I managed to overlook Newbury as a suitable venue for the Peterborough. Much as I like the upwardly mobile Exeter, running a Grade 2 on a Grade 1 track near Lambourn does seem rather more logicalWell done BHA and Newbury
