Tform article on SL website re Cheltenham

Found it an interesting read especially re the starts and "as a spin-off question, whether they’re doing enough to enforce Rules 37.1 and 37.2 which state that jockeys must “ask their horse for timely, real and substantial efforts to achieve the best possible position” and “take all other reasonable and permissible measures throughout the race to ensure the horse is given a full opportunity to achieve the best possible position”.

Indeed, the plethora of well-fancied runners at the 2026 Cheltenham Festival who came into the meeting on the back of what could be politely described as “quiet” runs arguably isn’t the greatest advert for the sport."
