Graham Cunningham on RTV yesterday said he thought it was down to TV coverage meaning that viewers missed nothing while being at the track meant you couldn't see everything. I've been to the Cheltenham Festival for one day and Aintree National meeting on the Thursday once but had no great desire to go back -crowded and expensive. Got tickets for the Saturday of the DRF next Feb to see what it is like in the flesh.

Know a group of guys age about 40 who go every year for a couple of days,this year they went to Dublin last week and watched the racing from there and doing the same next year,they can afford it but said it was the hotels taking the p1ss which decided it for them.

The probable answer there loui is that haydock also jcr was part dealing with the credit cards that week.
