Betfair hurdle

[Istabraq]

Past postponements were on grounds of weather and although I can't specifically remember each of them the snow of 2009 was immense (over a foot) and stuck around for a while so re-scheduling probably never an option.
I think they'll try to get this card run or if it's not possible for Newbury to host/run the entire I wouldn't be surprised if they took the big 3/4 races and transferred to next weeks Sandown (Friday) Ascot (Saturday) cards.
Plenty more light these days, could run 8 race cards comfortably....

The bookies will want the Betfair Hurdle but the Denman Chase should have a higher priority even if I wouldn't mind Native River and Clan Des Obeaux being mucked about.

Not sure connections would take up the Denman Chase a week later.... too close to the GC to be having a 3m1f slog around Chelt?

I imagine it wouldn't be an easy call. Depends if they're hung up on stats.

You joke but it probably would

Trainers can get horses fit doing interval training and race course gallops...

I'd fear for the quality of the Denman Chase... I suppose they'll still have around a month so perhaps I'm over thinking it
