The last Sandown meeting the fences looked lower than ever,and the horses were just skimming over them,now Haydock has produced the lowest fences I have ever seen there.What are the courses up to?No animal rights replies please,or RSPCA.

there is a drought in england and the fences are not growing as well as they should.
i think they should put more water on them.
i think they should put more water on them.
They were,National trial and other races ,was always a good test for a horse.Now it is no real test.
i had a conversation on the phone with kirkland tellwright 5 years ago when they did away with the big drop fences and brought in portable ones the first year they were a joke since then they appear a bit stiffer but not like the old days i've never thought sandowns were over stiff cant remember last time i saw a faller at the pond fence none of us want to see fatalities just a true test of national hunt horses ability
in 10 years time,the brush hurdles will be the fences.
boy wonder,the pond was never a stiff fence,but the ones down the back straight,apart from the water,are hardly recognisable.I don't want to see fallers either,but I do want to see true tests of jumping ability at speed.
