Had a look through last years novice hurdles. Only two horses turned up in the 3 novice races having not run until the new year. They were both in the Albert Bartlett and they both pulled up.

Off the top of my head, Western Warhorse never made his chase debut until the New Year...

Bit cryptic!

But here, i dont follow him alot but wasnt his bet of the season Facile Vega for Arkle, near sure seen it more than once in articles, but yet he was backing against it here?
 
Doesn't sound positive does it for his Festival chances. A boost for Marine,Vega, Policeman and co though as he is or was a big Arkle fancy.
 
Very slow for me still, went on last night around 1am to see if footfall had anything to do with it but was ,if anything, worse.

Best Christmas present I've got is managing to persuade 3 of my best mates(non racing fans) to spend 4 days in Tenerife during Cheltenham week for only ?240 each. Same lads from my first lads holiday abroad over 30 years ago!

Merry Christmas everyone and a prosperous Cheltenham Festival!

Hello all

Sorry for the delay.... now got it agreed for an upgrade and optimisation fix that should have us back up and running properly within 2 days

The advice we've been given is that we should move away from vbulletin and on to a new forum type but that's too much change for now.... will re-visit it in April

Big thank you to the patrons that mean we can afford to fix it! Will be in touch about any big decision like that before we make it
 
Cheers Kev appreciate the work you're putting in, merry Xmas to all fat jockeys and hopefully some good bookie bashing over this period
