What a difference a day makes.
Yesterday Cheltenham was abuzz with excitement and there was an interesting days racing.
Definitely a bookies day.
A killer day for me with only one winner and two placed horses. Mixed feelings for the Carberry family A big hug for Nina, not only because she is pretty, but for the great ride to win the cross country. However a kick in the nuts for brother Paul for screwing up a big straight forecast bet I had in the last. I thought Ashkazar to beat Grand Schlem was the best bet of the afternoon. (Pleased for Emma Lavelle though) C'est la vie
Today, well what a difference?
Racing abandoned due to high winds. The course is like a ghost town, albeit a very windy one. Many people are complaining but to me it is a “no brainer”. Conditions are potentially dangerous and no sensible person could take the risk.
As the saying says “every cloud has a silver lining”.
Wednesdays races are going to be rescheduled over the remaining two days.
This means on Thursday we have ten races and Friday we have nine.
Heaven help me – I was knackered after six yesterday.
Tomorrows capacity has been increased from 55,000 to 65,000 – going home will be fun.
Last night it took me 1½ hours to get out of the car park.
