The ban on British-trained runners in Ireland has been lifted with immediate effectComment

Surely a return to racing in the UK is imminent then, BHA would look rather silly if Ireland were allowing UK runners to run over there and they can't run over here, right?Originally posted by Geordieboy83 View PostComment

You would think so, surely tonight’s news will be positive. Can’t see any reason not to be after this newsOriginally posted by ComplyOrDie View PostComment

Common sense at lastComment

It looks like I'm the only one on here who thinks the BHA have done exactly the right thing throughout this incident.Comment

Whilst I've not posted much on here - I agree with you FM.Originally posted by Faugheen_Machine View Post
Given that (for me) the Festival is the be-all-and-end-all - the action that they have taken has given the best possible chance of the Festival going ahead.
I get where the trainers are coming from - but from a punters perspective (which is the only angle I can have a proper opinion on) - they have done the right thing.Comment

They are in the living definition of stuck between a rock and hard place. Take too many precautions and they are blamed for overreacting, take a lighter approach and they potentially jeopardise Cheltenham and the backlash that would bring.Originally posted by Faugheen_Machine View PostComment

Exactly how I see it Leman. If there's a safety incident where I work, operations are stopped, an investigation takes place to find the root cause and then corrective actions are put in place to stop it happening again.Originally posted by Leman14 View Post
It seems to me that the BHA are doing just that.Comment

Im with you FM. I think they have done exactly the right thing. Even if they have over reacted, I think it made total sense to err on the side of caution whilst they tried to understand the situation fully. No guessing or knee jerk reactions, just a more in depth investigation.
Assuming we are back to normal on Wednesday, nothing will have been lost as all the major races will be rescheduled.Comment

Originally posted by Leman14 View PostI've taken comfort in the "over reaction" angle when trainers have said it... and I agree with you both that they've done the right thing.Originally posted by Faugheen_Machine View Post
The only mistake being betting on it
I also agree with CoD.... the news about Ireland allowing British horses to compete SURELY means racing continues in the UK from Wednesday, and for Saturday at the latest?!
Circa 10:30pm we'll know?Comment
