The late 70's into the 80's and then into the 90's we were blessed with the best trainers and the best jockeys. Hence we have the dip in quality as we have now.
Just out of curiosity I checked the cost of a room for Cheltenham Festival week at Queens hotel in the town against the cost for a non Festival booking. Worked out about 450% difference. Supply and demand in a free economy?
80 00 tatts. Gosh, I'd have an 80.00 win on evens shot in bookies in town. Then pay 80.00 to get in ,( go next day meeting) if evens shot beat. Don't go. You may have more winners in that day as well. Swings n roundabouts
Imagine referring to Stout as a knight of the realm, but omitting the same courtesy to Sir Henry Cecil. I recall the former was "held" at a Customs checkpoint with a suitcase full of cash ! Yeah,, really ...!!
and cecil knocked 2 elderly people down on a crossing while drunk....and when asked about it made a flippant remark about having to employ a chauffeur................
Letting the public see a dead horse is nothing compared to killing healthy horses just because they're too slow to win, which happens hundreds of times a year in Ireland. I'd love Hanlon to explain how the following horses of his died - Fast Medicine, Its Lady Kingston, Whiskey Rose and Buddy's Choice. Perhaps they suffered the same fate as the dead horse in question and mysteriously died in their sleep!
It is the dark part of this industry that we all must accept exists. Something needs to be done about it, otherwise eventually this sport will get banned.
Hotels are ripping the public off. First year in last 30 that I haven't stayed in York for Ebor Festival. Chain hotels charging obscene prices that ordinary racing people can't afford.
Very churlish to diss Starmer going to the St Leger. No need for fawning praise, but Starmer and his wife going is a good thing. Could very easily have had a new PM who has no interest or actively doesn't like our sport.
Only 36% voted for Brexit but didn't hear any of that. Labour returned half a dozen labour MPs in co Durham with 97% white British in red wall seats. That is clearly nonsense. @@kevinkenny6975

Sir Mark great man and trainer so much knowledge great trainer and care for horses in general.
tells a good story
Main reason Cheltenham will keep getting low crowds is the prices of some tickets so keep it as it is and see what happens.
There's footage of Starmer getting booed and being called a ⚓️ by Racegoers at Doncaster.
sir mark is extremely astute
Railway tickets and hotels. Putting prices up due to demand. Are Oasis playing Cheltenham next year ?
Absolute state of Channing
toss up between him and yates who is the biggest waste of space
Love him. Great judge. Not just of racing.

The prime ministers and mps go racing for freebies they should pay like everyone else does.
Everything about Cheltenham festival has become a problem. £80 for Tatts ticket. Nearly £8 pint Guinness plus travelling. And now rubbish small feilds

Who’s your man with the t shirt on the end of the couch. Is he meant to be there. ?
A bit surprised Starmer's getting it in the neck when every single Government minister has been schmoozed for the last 20 years.

I don't blame Briony Frost great place to work and fide the gallop and training establishments in the world.
Good luck 🤞

Premier Inn in Cirencester c400% of usual price
Yet babs fully booked. Ebor week York.
@@colinboden641yes,but Cirencester is a bus ride away from Cheltenham. Money grabbing.

Starmer must have got a freebie. Horrible pm . Corrupted, evil , lier. Not a good image for racing. 🤔
2 billionaires own arc/doncaster.
Landslide victory
@@PaulMcDonagh-ww5kv only without proportional representation. Only 30 % voted Labour and they are mainly Muslim
On the contrary it's brilliant that we have a p.m who goes racing. First PM to go to the leger since Churchill in 1953.
