Saturday Racing, 27th April: Sandown Park (1st race at 1.50pm)

[1964white]

No interest in the Festival
Nothing to touch it for me. Definitely not in horse racing anyway. Love Ascot & Goodwood but Chelters is the business.

Aintree GN meeting is tasty too!

Cheltenham Festival is my favourite sporting event of the year.

Not been to the National meeting. It’s a one race festival for me.
Been to Glorious Goodwood, Royal Ascot, The Arc in Paris & the Galway festival but Cheltenham is the greatest. Not even close for me.

Yes, it's the best & most compelling meeting of the racing calendar.

No, not really, Foxy. I reckon I've probably only ever watched the Gold Cup on TV once, maybe twice.

Found you! Am I registered for the Cheltenham contest now? If not, how to do it? I’m in Madeira at the moment so a bit distracted. Luckily the match is on locally!

No need to register BdB. If you'd like to take part just make sure you read the rules (as currently set out on the Racing News thread, but I'll also copy them over onto this thread as well next week) and post your Day 1 selections here before the first race is off on Tuesday.

Good luck.

Are we advertising next week's Cheltenham Festival, Cat?

There is a post from last year's festival somewhere in the dungeons.

Unfortunately, I am literally all over the place for the next month or so. Will opt out of the festival this time. Enjoy
