Long long run in at Cheltenham hurdle races this year.

In a not insignificant change to the modern Cheltenham Festival norm, races over hurdles will have a noticeably longer run-in, with the final flight on both courses moved to in between the final two fences, having been located after the final fence in recent years.

It's due to an area of ground that became particularly wet during the rain in the build-up to the festival apparently

Jockeys will be have to be more careful with the Whip with a longer run in

wonder how all the bedwetting shrewdies about the positioning of the last hurdle are getting on,backing EL CARIO and THE NEW LION
