Anyone know why Champion Hurdle market suspended?

Binocular

antepost finished, now will go to 48hr decs

Markets still active on other races Tuesday Sugarfoot.

48 hrs decs this time last year I felt like I had been hit with a hammer.Binocular

they don't close them all at the same time for reasons that are not at all clear to me.  for instance, the Champion Chase antepst closes tomorrow, a day ahead of the other Wed races.  on thursday the World Hurdle and Ryanair are a day earlier, and on friday the Gold Cup.  I don't know why it is, presumably there is a very good reason of which I am ignorant, but the important thing is that there is no cause for alarm

Cheers Sugarfoot

looks like olofi and thousand stars taken out everything else stands.

Decs: Binocular, Brampour,Celestial Halo,Hurricane Fly,Kalann,Oscars Well, Overturn, Rock On Ruby, Zarkandar and Zaidpour

someone was laying thousand stars for the World Hurdle like a mad thing about half an hour ago - looks like engines in reverse now.  very strange

@sugarfoot -- Grade One races have 48-hour decs. The rest don't.

Supreme / Arkle are Grade 1s though?

@Stake & Chips: good point. It is only non-novice Grade 1s that have 48-hour decs.

Here is the rule:
Declarations to run and declarations of Riders for all Grade 1 non Novice Steeple Chases and hurdle races and non Juvenile hurdle races will take place 2 days before running. In addition, Grade 3 steeple chases and hurdleraces, and such other races as the Authority may specify, MAY have 48 hour declarations, at the option of the Racecourse Managing Executive.

The Grand National also has 48-hour decs, for instance, under that last exception.
