Like a showjumper going over the water jump
I must say I’d my views on mares races and what race honeysuckle should run but you know what Henry, Rachel and De Bromhead family deserved that.
Honeysuckle and Rachel were bright lights for racing in dark times and I can’t imagine what Henry has gone through for the last few months. They deserved their moment in the sunshine and I’d happy to say i got it all wrong. Racing fans owe them a lot for the last few years.

Like Tony Keenan, the missus asked me at breakfast was Honeysuckle running and I said yes and was she going to back her. ‘I wouldn’t know how to do it - will you do it for me’
‘Sure’
Totally forgot - didn’t stop her looking for her return
Some craic yesterday people watching and sogging pints (Guinness was class) But fuck me it’s Chav central, wall to wall gaudy suits and brown shoes. A “sport” followed by largely jumped up knackers. Cunts
Yes! Looking forward to tomorrow already

Well if they did you and your brother wouldn’t have gotten in.

If anybody is travelling over post racing if you walk on towards the bus car park past the cabbage patch there’s a row of huge town houses with ever green type bushes blocking their view of the course. One of them has a hole in it and if you go through there’s a tented pub thrown up and usually good Irish tunes or something going. You can get grub too.
I always go there and let the traffic off. You could meet anybody in there too.

As suspected from the TV pictures, the crowd was way back this year. Gold Cup day was the only day they hit the new 68,000 cap.
2023 Cheltenham crowd figures
2022 number in brackets
Tuesday: 60,284 (68,567)
Wednesday: 50,387 (64,431)
Thursday: 62,429 (73,754)
Might put a knife in the 5 day festival for a while.
Last year was dangerous
Very easy to move around over there on the Thursday. Even with the bad weather and more people indoors, I was never waiting more than 3 or 4 mins at the bar. Handy to get a spot in the stands to watch the racing too.
