So no need for vet to verify?

Correct. Although I initially spoke in jest, a horse self certifying is actually similar to someone phoning in sick to work. In a horse's case, the trainer can declare a non runner if they think it is unfit to run without a need for a vet, same way a person can phone in to work and not need a doctor's note for the first few days.

If that happens, the horse can't run anywhere else for a set period of days in order to prevent the self certifying process being abused by trainers.
 
Thanks TH. Very informative. :encouragement:

See there's cash out for Ash Tree Meadow in NHC for Bet365 if anyone has gone off the bet.

Thanking you! Gratefully taken.

I wonder if this is a one off or a trend for this year? They never reintroduced cash out unless the selection was removed and re added to the market.

I'm in Liverpool for the November Cheltenham meeting, can anyone recommend any city centre bars that will be good to watch the racing in ? Thanks.

….such a wide choice depending on your choice but racing is very popular and most boozers with a telly have it on as long as the footy doesn’t coincide. Suggest you find a pub you like, settle in & enjoy.

…..Queens Brook turned over at odds-on, maybe an over-reaction pushing her out to 14-1 for the Mares Hurdle given how difficult she is to train.

Was surprised to see her so short on seasonal debut. Is she the first of the ‘back after defeat FTO’ brigade?

She just ain't good enough imo. One that will always find one or two too good and downs tools. A sulker. She's a bad egg.
