This afternoon.
Cheltenham Racecourse, Gloucestershire, England.
Meanwhile…
Cheltenham Festival has been branded a ‘ticking timebomb’ and after bosses made the decision to go ahead with the four day event despite the coronavirus outbreak.
Up to 70,000 spectators are expected to attend the first day of the annual horse racing festival with fans travelling from across Britain to the Gloucestershire course

Selfish, braindead, reckless f-wits! They should all be left there for 2 weeks. Happy for these idiots to get what they deserve, but it’s the people they might spread it to I feel sorry for, but sure ‘the craic’ is more important than people’s health.
People who enjoy the abuse of animals for sport aren’t going to give a flying F about you or anyone else’s health and wellbeing.
Hi Cian + Clampers
I’m looking forward to hearing your sage opinion on this matter?
are none of them infected? is it like some sort of “Lambay Island rule”? arra what harm shure we couldn’t stop them (or god forbid Cheltenham)?
but shur€ it’ll be great to have them back in Ireland all the same after the few days on the lash and with the few quid in their pockets, won’t it? welcome home lads LOL
hm?
No loss.
Whatever about the sensibility of this event going ahead, I must admit the picture behind the dispensers is very good. Possibly deliberate, possibly not, but it is reminiscent of the very first moving pictures, taken by a series of cameras triggered by a horse, proving that horses at a gallop did have all their hooves off the ground at certain points in their gait.

It is just some horses feet during a race. The first moving images were animations created about 50 years before Muybridge took his first sequential photographs.
The gloves are off!
Did all our wonderful wealthy Irish trainers decide not to travel for good of the Irish public? No? Maybe we can stop talking about them as though they are heroes and realise they are just rich men indulging themselves.
Are you confusing the trainers with the owners?
Trainers are hardworking taxpayers. Owners are rich (wo)men indulging themselves (and have teams of accountants to minimise their tax).
It it bumps off the likes of the fans of the Walshes and their feckin’ subsidized industry bring it on. Most of them are over-65. Ladies day mehole.
