He's just gone for a spin out the back there hasn't he. Can't be retiring on the back of that!

Yep. Never put into race. Dan did say not to expect much. He wasn't wrong.
 
….more winners for Skelton yesterday, that 14-1 with Lads to break Pipe’s most winners in a season record must be under threat.

Steve from smoking cheltenham won't be regaling us with his thoughts on antepost bets this season.
Which is a shame as he was one of the more astute of the punters putting up stuff on Youtube. 👏
And I'll miss the sound of his breathing and how his rambles could help me to snooze sometimes.
His Mrs is unwell so all the best to her and him. (y)

No mate. Couldn't make it up 😂 I emailed royal mail yesterday telling them I need my mail delivering as a matter of urgency as I have missed a hospital appointment (I haven't) but even that says it could take up to 7 days for a response 😄 their whole system needs shutting down. Had no mail here for 3 weeks and I know the lovely TV Licensing people are desperate to have a chat, they have been for about 20 years 😂

Cheltenham have cancelled the Glenfarclas Cross Country Chase at The November Meeting because the ground is currently unraceable.

The track have been unable to water the Cross Country Course with all resources focused on ensuring safe ground for the Showcase Meeting next Friday and Saturday and officials say the weather forecast suggests that dry conditions are likely to continue, with insufficient rainfall expected to achieve safe conditions on the Cross Country course in time for November.

The Glenfarclas Cross Country Chase will now be rescheduled for Festival Trials Day on Saturday 30th January, creating an eight-race card.
 
Not a biggie , but I thought they don't , or can't water the cross country course . ??.
Just rely on mother nature . ?.
Unless it's to do with the drainage work that's been done this year.
