Cheltenham Races

[Monkety Tonkety]

Used to watch a lot of horse racing but only because my dad and grandad were obsessed with it to the point of even owning a horse at one time. Dad was from the countryside so he loved all that shite.

Didn't mind going to the races (Chepstow was fun, and Jersey), but was bored senseless watching it on TV.

I tend not to bet on it now because I just don't trust the sport. Fixing seems rife.

I enjoy the jump racing but the flat bores me to tears. Cheltenham's the cream with top quality fields every day

going to the track is different.

Been to the track on many occassion with the wife and previously with pub day outs. A gamble few pints big feed etc, grand day out.

mother in law watches the racing channel constantly and dont gamble , mainly cos she loves horses, now iI like animals but to me thats just demented

Same, can't see why anyone would want to go and watch flat racing.

Cheltenham's not known as the punter's graveyard for nothing. The crafty paddys slip a horse in with no chance and make a killing

It is a poorer spectacle, but with the jump racing, I've always been uncomfortable with the fact that horses should have to die for our own entertainment. Some of those fences at the Grand National are brutal.

Could have some effect on the ground.

Too many days lost to weather in the past and too much revenue lost to risk again.

Same as everywhere else in Britain, fucking freezing in Cheltenham. Going to need those covers to work if racing is to ahead.

[M H]

The covers will soften the ground and not favour Rock on Ruby tomorrow!

[D & B]

Strong wind as well, hope they've got them tied down well.

[M H]

If the wind's too strong tomorrow it will be unsafe to race mate

Fucking hope not as the town will be infested all day with cunts in tweed.

Brace yourself!

Oche observing that it's on, there.

Fucking freezing, will be even colder at the racecourse.

Loads of cunts strolling around early doors this moring some were making their way to the course before 9, fuck all up at the racecourse to hold your attention for 4 hours.

The corporate hostility tents will probably be serving from about 10:00 so they'll all be shitface before the first race.

Heaving in town, had to pick my kid up from school. Going to be a mess in the morning.

[D & B]

Chucking it down here, going to be a wet Gold cup.

[D & B]

It'll be fight night tonight as the locals hit the town along with the race goers.

I shall be enjoying the spectacle, though I'm sure it won't reach the heights of the riots at the PL last night.
