    Yet another stupid and unnecessary race title change for today:

    The Gr.1 Scilly Isles Novices’ Chase is now…

    The Gr.1 totesport.com Challengers Novices’ Chase.

    :roll: :x

    As far as I know, this race has been named the ‘Scilly Isles’ for at least the past 15 to 20 years (as long as I’ve been betting on horses), so why change it now – especially with it being a Grade 1 race? Why couldn’t it simply be named:

    The Gr.1 totesport.com Scilly Isles Novices’ Chase

    :?:

    Bunch of idiots! :evil:

    The Scilly Isles Novice Chase – the only Grade 1 race named after a roundabout!

    The Scilly Isles is the local name for the junction just down the road from the 2M start.

    If I ever get on Mastermind, my specialist subject will be ‘totally useless information’.
