Title: BHA vote to go ahead with racing on Good Friday. Post by: gouty on September 05, 2013, 06:22:49 PM There was opposition from nearly all quarters in racing for this and they just ignore it and go ahead.
Pretty poor show I think. Does anyone like this? Title: Re: BHA vote to go ahead with racing on Good Friday.

Post by: Marky147 on September 05, 2013, 07:24:37 PM I listened to some discussion on this early, and some of what was said made sense. Can't remember the name of the bloke, he said that he felt there was more than enough racing already, and wasn't against it for any religious reasons.

Post by: horseplayer on September 05, 2013, 07:26:00 PM why are people in racing against it?? seems to be mainly because the lesters are on the night before (big piss up) quite simple really start with 2 meetings if nobody enters any horses then it will stop. They will though Title: Re: BHA vote to go ahead with racing on Good Friday. Post by: Chompy on September 05, 2013, 07:27:55 PM Never made sense to have no racing on Good Friday. Everyone is off work for one.

To me it just seems unfair to ignore the industry feedback though. It's also a very busy betting weekend anyway so the turnover and attendances will only be diluted if that makes sense. On a brighter note if anyone has a nice trier for Chepstow tomorrow please advise as we are on the piss there tomorrow. |
