Easy to miss decimal points and commas just have to look at the profit loss statements on here to see how easy it’s done . |

shows where Jockey Clubs position lies - if it has to be run behind closed doors then it wont be happening....
 Sod the trainers and owners then that have planned all year for the event but if we cant take the eyes out of the general paying public then it wont be happening #pricelessbutsaysitall |

By:
It'll go ahead make no mistake
They wont cancel this or the Euros |

Monday, get Boris on the podium and get him to tell us all the airports are closing for the next week, Chelthenham is off and the Premier League is suspended for the next 2 weeks...
Nope, we'll get no handshaking in public |
|
By:
Boris will tell everyone to crack on, and shoot off to Barbados until Easter
|
|
By:
If the market was “Will the public be allowed to attend?” then the prices are probably slightly under but close. But surely cancellation should be about 7/1? Who wants it cancelled rather than closed doors? Postponement won’t work (situation will get worse in short term). Bookies will want it to go ahead and what bookies want bookies get. They can compensate the racetrack.

France want to ban gatherings of over 5000 people at sporting/orher events, listened to one of our MP's on the radio saying we have to follow their lead.
When the press go into overdrive nothing would surprise me. |

Coronavirus: France bans large indoors gatherings in bid to curb virus
last time i watched Cheltenham was outdoors. |
|
By:
Geoff M -but a lot of the people stay in their private boxes or the bar and never venture outside.
|
|
By:
Better ban people going in pubs and restaurants then?
|
|
By:
Ribero1 was just having a dig at those who go racing but spend all day in the bar. You might have a point though -how about closing all supermarkets and banning bus and train travel? And you never know who has been in a cab before you...
|
|
By:
Apologies Geoff you are correct
I do wonder though if it makes that much difference if inside or out when so many people are packed in together. |

By:
No prob manoleeds,just watching Nicky Henderson on Luck on sunday,looking remarkably well for a sunday morning.

If necessary in order not to facilitate further spreading of the virus cancel the Festival altogether or adopt the next best alternative ie hold it behind closed doors (if possible) - it's the only prudent option available. It's only a sport at the end of the day, and if the health and/or safety of participants and racegoers are at risk cancel it.
The timing and nature could be against the sport (for this year). |

By:
wasnt specifically directed @ you The Dealer just a general observation.
im knee deep having laid it not to go ahead!! |

The term "mass gatherings" appears to have become popular in u k all of a sudden. Didnt yhink you lot attended mass ?

“Due to rapidly escalating health concerns relating to the spread of the coronavirus disease (Covid-19), the 2020 APS March Meeting in Denver, Colorado, has been canceled. Please do not travel to Denver to attend the March Meeting.”
Around 10,000 physicists and scientists from around the world were due to attend the conference this week, and the late cancellation has caught many overseas delegates in the middle of travelling. |

a dog contracted the coronavirus this week but they are still going ahead with crufts, some of these owners even have them licking they faces.
why pick on cheltenham, it's either all or nothing. |

By:
I could see the centaur been closed as a gesture.
|
|
By:
not a good start to day when hanncock talking about possibility of uk cities being shut down like china
looks very like decisions have been already made to combat spread and we are being prepared , im sure he wouldn't have said anything as drastic unless told to sport could be least of our worries |
|
By:
I thought the interview on the Andrew marr show was pretty positive.
|
|
By:
he didnt say it he was backed into a corner,responding to a question by marr,what do you want him to say no we wont lock cities down,he basically said we,re doing nothing ,planning to do nothing but are willing ,preparing to do anything and everything
|
|
By:
you get loons like atr banging on about when would they run it, spoiling Aintree etc,if it doesn't go ahead it wont be chelt all of racing will stop for weeks,months etc,aintree wont be on
its probably the biggest factor in its favour ,cancel events,school,s,work,transport etc for 23 cases in round about 3 weeks/month.thats 6 a week ,you,d have to have zero cases for a weeks on end before everything was restarted again |
|
By:
prices now
1/2 on 2/1 off 'off' has certainly drifted over past 24 hours |
|
By:
apologies I didn't see interview just reading independent online
just bough 300 tins of tomato soup for nothing then |
|
By:
gov team meet tomorrow, they'll take some immediate action and have some further measures, whether the limits similar to france get imposed will determine whether it still has a chance of going ahead
i'd imagine that as the french have acted boris can't be seen to do nothing, he may hold off from limits initially but may say it's to come if we get more cases that said, limiting gatherings isn't going to make much difference if business, schools, transport etc carry on as normal, it will still spread so expect other measures too with the media hype at full throttle and the nhs falling over we'll not hear the end of this for months |
|
By:
if they cancel or run it behind closed doors,whats to stop people travelling to cheltenham and having a p-up or watch it in the pubs especially if you cant get money back for trains,hotels,flights ect
