Haven't received an e-mail back yet understandably as it must be mayhem but would you just go there tomorrow and take a chance? If they say no we need the purchase holder present then fair enough just have to accept that's the regulations, will there be a TV to watch the event outside?

I have to pick the tickets up Lizzie. I was gutted when reading online when the purchaser has to be present, bring I.D and the card they paid with. Was really looking forward to tomorrow :(

I've just realised the purchaser of the tickets has to be present on the day and given that the jumping tomorrow was a present from someone who can't attend due to chronic illness. Does anyone know how I can re-sell the tickets? just to give people a warning on here if you want them, they are...

Thanks Lizzie! I understand you can't get near the horses but at Cheltenham in the morning you can touch them when they come of the lorries before they go on the sand. Kauto Star would have loved the XC I agree and it would have been fitting to have him compete this year but have you heard...

Would have been nice to see Denman or Kauto Star do some jumping for Olympics this year.

Fair enough i'll just wait for Newmarket open day to pat some horses. Do GB have a good chance of winning? whose our best rider?

Someone bought me tickets for the Jumping tomorrow! I have no clue what its like but can you touch the horses at any point? Does the horse get the gold medal or the rider?

Horse Racing trainers then charge £20,000+ P/A to get them fit? Are you seriously telling me that's ethical when work riders and grooms are on minimum wage?

Hi there, I wanted to ask how much it costs to keep a healthy thoroughbred day in day out? Take this down to the bare basics, strip all the training costs, insurances and give me the details on how you could keep a young thoroughbred happy and healthy for 12 months. What would be there...

I love horses but one thing that gets me is that they can never offer you that companionship or responsiveness like a dog can! it's the only down thing with horses, they just don't give you enough love or feedback a dog can and always seems like a 1 way relationship.

Hi, Does anyone know how receptive Coolmore Ireland or Ballydoyle are to people wanting tours of their establishments? I was going to write to them but wasn't sure if they would accept a random person viewing their stables unless you had like an illness or raising money for charity. Thansk

Good evening, I was looking into the possibility of leasing a thoroughbred mare to race two or three times for my University Society during the winter months on the All Weather. I would be interested in a breakdown on a rough financial quote to get this underway and any contact information...

He's a good sire at best although I think he could sire a precocious sprinter within the next couple of years if he gets the right mare. My personal fav son of his has been Pastoral Player who has bags of potential but has been held back by his temperament and reluctantly gelded. Most of them...

Hi there, I was interested in whether there would be a market for advice on thoroughbred breeding advice aimed at those who are currently in the sport with mares or looking to buy a mare to breed with? From what I can see online it seems to be that this sort of industry is very privatized...
