Cheltenham Festival 2024

[Michael5482]

Looks like a nightmare festival for Nicky Henderson with some type of virus sweeping his yard, Shiskin and Jonbon both non-runners now.

Cheltenham gone woke today and cancelled ladies day and gone gender neutral. I can't wait until a gelding runs in a 3 mile mares only chase as a tranny horse.

Talking about woke ITV News last night had a brief bulletin of the horse that died yesterday at Cheltenham, National news honestly.

They want to go up the road from me to the Abattoir and see real slaughter, newsreaders probably don't complain when they are picking their Sunday joint out of the supermarket.

Henderson pulling out horse left right and centre. No Shiskin on Friday.

Yeah saw that, any theories as to why?

Based on performances so far, I guess they think there is a problem in the yard.

There has been some type of horsey virus that has swept the yard, he's scoped all his Cheltenham horses early this week. Probably expect more Henderson non-runners and those that do run won't be fancied I'd imagine.

Looks like we might have a few bot free last 10-20 mins in some of the earlier races. Be interesting to see if the market still goes mental 2 mins out too (think it will)

Took the words out of my mouth. As I often say: -

A five minute delay keeps the bots away

Will also be interesting to see what this does to Betfair volume. They must be panicking as they've even put out a post detailing new off-times on the developer forum.

I'm recording per minute volume on all the races at Cheltenham this week. So I'll report back tomorrow morning.

Not getting this 'Style Wednesday', should be called 'Woke Wednesday'

Why spoil a traditional like Ladies day? I'm sure even Trans folk would enjoy turning up on Ladies day and wouldn't object to the title?

[jamesedwards]

Bit early to call, but 'worst Cheltenham ever' label is waiting in the wings.

Weather, ground, deaths, missing big names, illness, rescheduling, cancelled XC, woke wednesday.

Close to £5m matched in the first race
