Anyone a follower of the races?

Looking forward to this years as normal, not going unfortunately this year however. St Andrews in the same week ruled it out...

Who's backing what?

Used to work in Gloucester so a short hop over there was virtually compulsory. Shame its got too big and is a magnet for borderline alcoholics rather than racegoers enjoying too much Guinness!

I'm somewhere in the middle! :D

Made a killing last year on the day I went so hoping for the same this year...

sadly this may be the worst festival in a while, the top races are now far too diluted and the horses spread too thinly across them. Add in several high profile withdrawals (horses and jockeys) and this may be the least interest (and certainly the smallest AP book) Ive had in a festival for 25 years (that said Ill most likely watch every race once it gets here!)

Usually go on the Tuesday but for the first time in a while we've decided not to. Was looking forward to seeing how thistlecrack would get on :(

Fancy Native River for it now I do. Very impressive a couple of weeks back.

Douvan & Altior the only bankers I could pick right now.
