Equine Flu Outbreak

They are putting on extra “festival trial” races on the 23rd Feb; how many trainers will want their horses prep to be that close to Cheltenham? I know Mullins (who knows a thing or two about a Cheltenham winner) has said you want a 4+ week gap

Will do wonders for the trends/stats if horses start winning at the festival having raced so close to it prior

Awesome.

Making the 4 hour trip down, so glad it's almost certain to be a world class card!

I was very looking forward to go Saturday, but now I'm over the moon! Going with someone who is a fan but doesn't follow the sport. Should be an interesting day. Best of luck to you.
