    You would think a bit of professionalism would dictate they might liase with each other. Though it seems as Cheltenhem can’t seem to jump on time. Here one venue would almost certainly wait for the completion of the other.

    One track has to overlap yesterday it was Punchestown & Uttoxeter.

    Though I am sure someone could use their brains and yesterday have had Lingfield before Punchestown.

    It doesn’t take a scientist to work out that a jump race takes about 4 and a half mins minimum and set apart.

    Luckily now most British courses wait for the other to finish.

    But as Cheltenham is stand alone on RUK today and Channel 4 dictate the times it gave ATR the best option with 10 minute gaps.

    I never understand when you have a 5f sprint then next race is 15 mins after and its a 3m race and the next race is 5 mins after.

    Someone must realise that it doesn’t quite work.
