Although this was going to be about Might Bite (who I love - so gorgeous!). And Native River (who doesn't love a chestnut with a blaze) or Bristol de Mai (you can't beat a grey) I have actually just finished watching yesterdays racing and the number of fallers at Haydock was distressing. Even the experienced handicappers had a terrible time. It seems odd to me that there is no standard set for height/slope/density of the fences. A lot of those horses from Saturday are going to need some work to get them jumping nicely again.
I don't want pathetic fences either, they have to jump them, but horses seemed to be making a really poor shape over these and they were totally unforgiving of any errors. Sad.
