This Forum should be up. I love going to Listowel every year. It's a brilliant festival and the racing is far than Galway. The track is far more accessible and is only a 10 minute walk from the town square. The people there are very friendly and the atmosphere gets better as the week goes on. There will be great banter there this year with Kerry playing Dublin in the All Ireland Final on the Sunday after.
I seen some people giving out about €20 in on the Monday for bad racing. Look, they have priced every day at €20 which imo is very reasonable in comparison to other festivals.
It could be the first year that we have genuine soft ground for most of the fixture. That could tempt some of the better horses out.
Wednesday will be my first day which is this day week. Roll on!
Make ure you get your frrebys from your local publican. I have got my two already!

Uponthe Hoof certainly takes the eye amongst the entries for the bumper at Listowel next Monday as the Tom Taaffe-trained four-year-old is owned by star golfer Lee Westwood, his manager Andrew 'Chubby' Chandler and Northern Ireland man Graham Keys.
Chandler also mentioned on Twitter: "Apparently he's (Uponthe Hoof) decent and I love to have a runner or two. I'm afraid I can't be there (at Listowel on Monday)."
Apparently depending on decent ground Uponthe Hoof is an intended runner at Listowel and he is described as promising.
