Has the equine flu spread to South Africa? As if things weren't bad enough in the bookies shops, Fairview was abandoned today.

It mentioned five jockeys tested positive last year. Who are they do we know?

Just watching the main sports news bulletin on BBC Breakfast there - 4th or 5th item they mentioned the Fez starting today with a line about how "all eyes will be on horse welfare after 7 deaths last year". Not a word about the actual racing, who the favourites are etc

Feels like I have been reading and listening to nothing but Cheltenham previews and podcasts for about a month and i can honestly say i dont think I've heard a single word about horse welfare.

Really shows the disconnect between racing insiders and the wider public i thought. Probably a UK issue mainly though, dont think the Irish non racing/ general public are anywhere as "concerned" about the whip etc

No doubt some journalist has been working away on a pre written article and just needs to slot in the name of a misfortunate into their slanted article this week if he /she can get one. Hopefully all runners and riders get around safely this week

Virgin stop at 4.30 by the looks of things. I'd say Racing TV would be the only place

So many threads on here now have people taking things off topic or chipping in with their own fancies, then someone posts telling them to cop on, they get a load of thanks from everyone and within 10 posts it's back to where it was before, pretty sure it never used to be like this or maybe I'm getting old
