Anyway, I went to the Cheltenham festival once in the mid 90's drove down from London. I didn't win anything and it was fucking freezing and windy and by the end I'd had enough and swore never to do it again.
In contrast, went to a flat race meeting in the summer at Sandown Park later that same year and it was a great day, helped by winning £385 or so on the penultimate race.
Never been racing anywhere since.
Summerville Boy goes in at 9/1.... Could be a VERY good day....
As for the comment above, if there are better treated animals in the world than racehorses, I have yet to hear of them. Best food, best vets, best digs, best personal attention at all times. And a horses instinct is to gallop.
