did anyone go to the hand at the weekend...?

was it busy...cant believe they clashed with bicton...

Don't know if it was busy, going today though. A lot of people from up here don't go to Bicton

It was rather quiet which I guessed was because of Bicton. There were only two other competitors there at five to nine. Only just over 20 people in the BN I think.

The other thing is that their smallest open class was 1.15 on one day and 1.20 on the other. If they had had their normal classes with a 1.05 and a 1.10 I would have gone instead I'm going unafflicted today. They lost all the open horses that don't do 1.30s as their second class.

They also (theres more) changed their schedule, it was one thing on the paper version and different on the internet. So on Sunday the paper one was a 1m open then a 1.05 scope qualifier and the correct internet version was a BN/Disc.

[arkov]

[9cheese1]

Well neither really....a bit daft perhaps. Bad for the show centre that loses custom I guess!
