True but it will be worth the extra fare to see some exciting racing rather than the turgid flat stuff.
Can't believe anyone would choose to go to Ascot rather than Cheltenham.

Frankel or an early season novice hurdle? There really is no comparison.
I find NH racing a million times more exciting than the flat. I only go flat racing when there is no jumps on.
I'm even glad when I have ticked off the flat only courses from my list as I know I don't have to return! I reckon I must go to 5 times as many jumps meetings as flat.

I always find it strange that others see it the other way round.
I've never quite pinpointed the reasons why that is the case. From my point of view I like the idea of horses staying in training for a number of years and getting to know how they are campaigned from year to year. Clearly that is much better in NH as they are around longer.

I always find flat racing to have more of a "calender" it has a nice Rhythm floating from the craven through to the breeders cup, it is imo like having a year of romance with a girl
The NH season feels like you are shut in a monastery for a few months then let out into a room of Brazilian Hookers, Columbias finest and a vat of beer for a week....
