The only way to revive the festival is to go back to three days , this tinkering with certain races will make no difference.

I think a handicap profits the bookies the public punters don’t get the benefit

Cheltenham extremely expensive Accommodation and hospitality

Johnny doesnt seem to appreciate we have a different attitude to fatalities over here. You'll have 7 fatalities in Listowel and no one bats an eyelid. 1 or 2 at Cheltenham would be all over the daily mail website.

Flooring Porter in the Grand National will be fun while it lasts

apart from the cost of going there for punters,accommodation,food,drinks are extortionate prices purely and simply because of the irish coming in their droves,the other factor and most galling for those who run the festival is the fact that the irish are cleaning up most of the races and prize money,so I’d say there are many English trainers and owners plus bookies who are pissed off with Ireland winning so many races every year.
