The declared rule is still in? This race seems to have nearly all entries declared for the other races and therefore withdrawn but are still quoted??
I am going through a phase of left field thinking, bear with.
Following previous festival form and with a year in hand over most I would have Allaho as the most likely GC winner. There seems never to have been any consideration of running him despite competitive finishes in the AB novice hurdle, RSA novice chase and winning the Ryanair. What ingredient is missing?
Thinking this was always going to be hypothetical, ABP is now under a cloud after latest, maybe Willie might have a rejig. Tornado Flyer going down to Ryanair?I have no medical views on this at all, but the Irish authority seem to have closed it all down. Whilst years past the British might have stayed shutdown and seen their horses travel abroad, I suggest they will stack on this now
Heard it mentioned on ATR over the weekend, his stable has 350 horses. Found hard to believe but could be some logistical nightmares here.
Saeed has just 150!!If you can bring your trip forward a month or so I can highly recommend the Brigadier Gerrard Stakes evening meeting at Sandown (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigadier_Gerard_Stakes).
Last year the weather was brilliant, the card contained some excellent racing (good 2yo race, good stayers race and decent handicaps in addition to the gp3) and all for 15 quid.
What’s more the size of the crowd was perfect – I could watch the horses in the parade ring and still comfortably find a space on the grandstand to take in the race (definitely couldn’t at Chelters last week!)
Thanks- that was the night I was hoping to catch, but I drive in from France just in time to miss the Sisters.
I’m not against music, I went to Yarmouth last August and saw a Madness tribute mob. That was a bonus to the racing.
Someone has got very confused in their thinking. Why not hold seperate events, cricket grounds do?I suppose for the big spectator events, not Wolves, it is a promotional issue. Whilst it is still possibly on, you don’t want to allow people to make alternative plans.
There could have been an unexpected rise in the temperature and if they managed it honestly you’d have lost 5,000 off tne gate. Moral to the story is 50-50 really means wing and a prayer
