Cheltenham was covered in snow on Friday morning, just four days before the start of next week's festival, as ground conditions were eased to soft (from good to soft) following 12mm of wintry showers in the previous 24 hours.
Yes plenty of rain forecast which Willie Mullins will like ! Remember a couple of years ago all his hotpots got beat on the first day. He threw his toys out of the pram and said if you don't water it I'm taking all his horses home. Of course they watered the track next thing it rained and rained it become a bog ! So other trainers then had to suffer and pull out some of their horses which they had trained for the meeting. How do you think they their stable staff and owners felt. Mullins didn't give a toss and had winners . Is that fair play ?
