Get rid of the Fred Winter.

Aw racing also contributed to the race becoming less competitive

And it was responsible for ending that other great annual classic, namely, is it 4 places the placepot in the Triumph

There is even a need for a consolation race for the Fred Winter. If British racing is shortsighted about the glorious festival it is, then a new formate is completely needed. With more bonus races elsewhere. Definitely make the meeting six days and have ladies finals, military finals, amateur finals, conditional finals, culminating in 18 grade one races on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday. That will transform the sport and filter down to the courses, trainers, owners, jockeys, stable staff and betting pools. Or just have one day, with a champion hurdle, a gold cup, a champion novice hurdle, a champion novice chase, a stayers hurdle and a champion chase. Go large or go home for the festival.
