VIRUS AT CAPE STABLES

I see that Vaugh Marshall and Andre Nel have scratched horses on Saturday due to virus or abnormal bloods.

I hope that this does not affect their runners on Met day!!

The Met looks like it has the potential to be a real lulu:

1.) Virus in certain yards. Scratchings?
2.) Likelihood of Tote & Internet crashes?
3.) Unfathomable form reversals attributable (after the fact) to virus.
4.) The usual tack & equipment malfunctions
5.) Interminable delays prompted by the various ceremonies
6.) How does Kenilworth Racing deal/respond to additional water restrictions imposed on 18/01.
7.) What if Markus Jooste shows up?
8.) Potential disruption if presence of Mayfair horses sparks protests?
9.) Larry assaults a racegoer. Again.

and

10.) Snaith yard accidentally does enter the stable cat and it wins?
11.) Julie's 'rack' bursts out of its harness whilst fawning over Usain Bolt

Suddenly the entrance price looks like good value given the entertainment potential of all of the above.
