Stupid Questions

When Willie brings 30 odd horses over for Cheltenham where do they stay: do they rent stables or own one over here for use when they come over in numbers?

Pretty sure they are all housed at the course, Cheltenham have extensive facilities these days including accommodation for travelling stable staff....

Believe the Irish horses are on a conveyor belt back and forward. Tuesday horses come over during the weekend and head back on the Tuesday night, Wednesday morning and that's continuous over race week. So not all of Willie's are there for the entire week. Ditto Gordon.

That makes sense. So do they stay at Cheltenham for those few days In temp stables?

I've got Lossiemouth staying on the bottom bunk in my daughters room. It will be a bit if a squeeze but we'll make it work. I'm hoping she'll love the unicorn decor.

I think someone posted already that there are stables at or near the racecourse and then those that race on Tuesday leave later that night to be replaced by those on Wednesday, Thursday and so forth
