I am not renewing my membership, nor my TBA ..no point if can't go for foreseeable.
A friend who has no computer/mobile has borrowed my email in case but I have had nothing so will need to check if they let her renew without!
Not sure how having to leave a pub by 10 is going to help though. In the bookies today to watch a race, signs on door saying must wear face mask...2 guys walked in during course of race I was watching without. Staff said nothing. I guarantee one had no exemption card.
Vote Alfie!!!!
Totally agree with you. In a shop when it had just been introduced, young guy at the door with clipboard , saying hello if had a mask etc...one guy came in without one, the young guy said 'excuse me sir, are you aware it is now mandatory to ….' , the guy launched at him, swearing his head off. The young guy didn't go to say you can't come in, was just trying to politely remind him. Supermarkets full of people not wearing them and I would bet a multi pack of curly wurlies that 90% at least have no exemption reason not to do so.

The Novice Handicap Chase has been dropped for the new Mares Chase: https://www.britishhorseracing.com/p...-the-festival/
Little disappointed as enjoyed the novice race as both a spectacle & punting opportunity and cannot imagine there will be runners that would have otherwise missed the festival. Plus side is the RSA and Marsh should be stronger for it
Also, the “Mrs Paddy Power…” is an awful name!
I saw that, not impressed either. Could easily have binned the awful Mares Novice Race or the Boodles.
Does give us a more diverse festival. Surely they should think about having a black horses only race.
Fred Winter should have gone in my opinion but the biggest worry is that the supporting card on "Gold Cup day" is now utter pony.
We have the spud race, foxhunters, conditional jockey's and mares chase all on the same day. Why not just swap the cross country for the County and I can save a day's holiday from work
Alcohol, because no good story ever started with "I was eating this salad..."
Might be controversial but the race they really need at Cheltenham is an open Championship race over 2 1/2 miles.
Out of curiosity, how keen are racing fans generally on having the mares' races at the festival?

Load of shite.
I know a few people that made a tidy profit off the Imperial Aura and Simply The Betts double.
Guessing games again. Benie being one of them. How many Mares taken out could contest other significant races but will instead race in this shite.
Is it a handicap? Can’t be assed reading the article. Won’t be punting on it anyway
Why couldn’t they have put the mares race at Sandown and left the novice handicap alone. Doubt the Irish novices will come over the weekend before the festival

Racing Post and RSA end sponsorship at the Festival

Be strange not calling it the RSA or Sun Alliance
I suspect we will still be calling it that for a good few years whoever the new sponsor is. I still can't stop calling the whatever it's called now the Hennessy as one example above others!
After losing Hennessy I wonder if Sun Alliance were the next longest sponsor of a big race?
