    Gaelic Warrior would be on for a hattrick of Gold Cups now if he was trained by Sandy

    Charles Darwin to conquer the World

    No Sandy would have realised earlier he’s not top drawer and placed him accordingly , prob similar to the end of last season , miss the festival and then easier options at Aintree and Sandown

    Flights and hotel this time for £650!

    it’s never going to be £2 for a bottle of beer.

    I don’t have to pay £650 to get somewhere that shows racing and sells £7 beers. I’m sure there’s a Viz Top Tip in there somewhere.

    it’s never going to be 23/24 degrees in Cheltenham in March

    Cheltenham’s record March temperature is 22.2 degrees and the world is getting hotter so never say never.

    I’ve done Gran Canaria and Lanzarote for Royal Ascot. Temperatures in the 30’s.

    You've got to accentuate the positive.
    Eliminate the negative.
    Latch on to the affirmative.
    Don't mess with mister in between.

    Given all we* know about climate change, all air travel should be made illegal and anyone who boards a plane should be charged with a criminal offence. Pollution affects not just us but, even more so, all future generations.

    * “we” means anyone with two brain cells to rub together, not RWNJ

    By that reasoning then, what about people in cars. Which cause more harm. :good:

    Nobody should drive, either.

    Unless you drive electric. But you’re still charging it via a power station. Horse is the best way. Then run another 4.5 miles like the olden days in the Grand National :whistle:

    You could get there by balloon that’s carbon neutral I’m sure some on here can supply the hot air. But not naming names. B-)

    “Unless you drive electric.”

    Nah – electric vehicles still pollute in terms of manufacture, transportation and microparticles (especially tyre residue).

    It’s one of the great marketing myths that an electric vehicle is environmentally friendly – it isn’t.

    They don’t fly.

    Pigs might, though.

    racing for rewards or whatever its called seem to have stopped turning betting points into pounds so this could be my last year in attandance as I won’t be paying the ticket price out of my own pocket the way they treated me a few years ago and on another occassion
    I’ll be wearing my Kopek Des Bordes cap…

    Nathan, this is news to me, have they put out an announcement? I’ve been getting
    2 tickets for the Guinness stand and parking. I’m still getting emails that my points
    have been added. That would be a real blow :negative:

    Cows might not fly but they can’t half fart.

    Cows may not fly, but one did jump over the moon so I’m told.
