Ruby pretty good at duffing it at the last.
Unbelievable how he lost that one.

Some punters are pissed.........
decked the best horse again.
The "Always lay Ruby at the last" system still alive and well.
absolute fkin steering job floored, will be blaming low sun again no doubt.
That list of last-flight Ruby errors is a very, very long one.
Why did he ask her for the most enormous jump? Completely unnecessary.
because he's fkin finished.
u/l slippy but its worth it to see that smug gloating has been on the deck again.

A PLUS TARD........better late than never!

What happens if todays PA is a carry over, does it get carried over to tomorrow's PA pool?

GOOD MAN PAT (WIN)

The Story/Announcement was made this Morning ...

The second day of the Cheltenham Festival is now under threat, with the racecourse predicting Wednesday's racing will hinge on at least one morning inspection.

Eleven years on from the cancellation of the festival's day two programme due to strong winds, the same fate could befall a card that is due to feature the Betway Queen Mother Champion Chase.

Should Wednesday's meeting be abandoned, the afternoon's races will be staged on Saturday.

Clerk of the course Simon Claisse had on Sunday played down the threat caused by Storm Gareth. However, the expectation is now that wind speeds of around 50 miles per hour could place temporary structures in jeopardy.

Should it not be possible to give a green light to racing at the point of the first inspection, Cheltenham has not ruled out the possibility of pushing back the time at which racegoers are allowed to enter the racecourse.

Speaking on the Cheltenham Twitter account on Tuesday, Claisse said: "We wanted to give you an early insight into conditions for tomorrow as the forecast is looking challenging, with strong gusting winds throughout the day.

"We are continually monitoring the situation and will keep racegoers informed as the conditions present themselves."

Yes durbs, big possibility that it will be cancelled tomorrow as there is a huge storm coming tonight and into tomorrow with 90mph winds, at this stage it looks bad for trees, washing on the line and horse racing.

All she had to do was sit on it.

Thanks for update
