Which race do you irrationally dislike?

A bad mistake at the third last put paid to mine.

Mike if you want to put summer jumps into a one race summary then the Summer National, although Gray really sums it up with the going being too hard to jump on

For the avoidance of doubt, RedRum, can I perhaps gently point out that that was actually the opposite of what I was saying.

I’m a fierce advocate of summer jumping, Summer Cup and all (the Summer National hasn’t existed for a while now, either by name (since 2012) or race distance (since 2009)), and with few concerns regarding the veracity of its surfaces on account of the watering requirements mentioned previously.

Hard ground hasn’t existed as an entity in summer jumping at any stage of its now 25-year existence, nor firm ground for the vast majority of that. Wincanton or Taunton or Exeter, however…
