    Ireland have very strict lockdown restrictions and have made racing exempt, so hopefully the authorities here agree.

    Football and racing should keep on going ahead so people have things to enjoy during lockdown - both have proven to be perfectly safe so I don't see why they cannot continue
    Completely agree providing all involved follow strict guidelines in their respective sports.

    Teams in Scotland were a shambles at the start


    Got to give us something to watch, working and paying taxes to sit around and watch friends for the 400th time!

                  Just been out for my last drink for a.while, and was full of trepidation to find out whats happened to racing. I'm.so relieved, its on still; really helps my mental health, and discussing with my mates and hopefully members on here is a real blessing.

                  • I suppose in way, a 4 week lockdown now does lift the chances, a little, of a brighter world by mid-March.

                      The fact racing goes ahead does not lift hopes for March a little, it's a massive juicy fat indicator that racing will be going ahead regardless of lockdown status.

                            I think we'll be ok. Lockdown will bring numbers down dramatically. Vaccine on its way which was always the icing on the cake.

                              Lockdown will bring numbers down in time for Christmas. Ready for us all to go and spend our money in shops, restaurants and pubs in December, just to be in the same time come January. Rinse and repeat.

                                The difference is if the Vaccine is available, which sounds positive, then we really can move forward positively. Fingers and toes crossed.
