What a week

[FinalFurlong91]

If you haven’t enjoyed this then you dont like horse racing

Some serious equine performances
Some brilliant rides
Some brilliant training performances

They say the night is darkest before the dawn and that has definitely been the case with the elliot scandal leading up to the festival

Racing badly needed to fill the headlines with good stories

And Rachel blackmore, tiger roll et a have very much done that

[Mike007]

Ditto all of that.

[He Didnt Like Ground]

Agree but I can’t wait to see the crowd back next year

Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026

Yes it was such a shame there was no crowd

Imagine the scenes when tiger roll came swinging on the bridle turning for home

[Mike007]

Ireland won 23-5.

Quite close then.

[HanLucinda]

Didn’t have much luck today but thoroughly enjoyed all the racing and can’t wait to hopefully be back next year! 🤞

[Gladiateur]

“Ireland won 23-5.”

Let’s hope that the rugby is closer tomorrow.

I thought it was a brilliant meeting. It just missed the roars for Tiger and Rachael, not to mention the mass groan when Envoi hit the deck.

Well said FF. Tremendous Festival, banishing the negative storylines of recent times to history & prompting numerous feel-good stories. Rachael, HDB, Honeysuckle, victories for small yards, Tiger Roll roared again, Minella Indo and umpteen new stars.

Irish dominance a slight concern and hopefully a kick in the arse for British racing to make radical but necessary changes to the programme.

Couldn’t agree more, the racing has been phenomenal and some great stories along the way. Look forward to being back there next yr after this forced absence as I’m sure we all are.
