    Only positive is that we wont see a five day festival any time soon, Tuesdays card is the worst in living memory.

    Think Kevin blake's view of 5 races per day over 4 days is worth considering with 40mins between each race. Low fields are very present over the last few seasons

    That’s a terrible idea I think. We need more races and shorter gaps between them, not the opposite way around. It’s boring during at meetings when between races. Look the Festivals are a bit different and there’s more going on but 5 races per day would be an awful spectacle.

    They should drop the festival back to 3 days with 8 races per day and drop 4 of the poorer races. What you take out is another argument.

    Will never happen. The festival is so diluted now that we will end up with the Dublin Racing Festival very quickly overtaking Cheltenham in terms of quality. Nobody to blame but themselves.

    Tuesdays card look really good to me. All it's missing to make it great would be another decent horse in the Supreme and Energumene in the Arkle. Can't Wait!!!!

    With good reason, because they can't compete. For top horses facing off against each other Cheltenham is no longer the place its gonna happen. Replacing the novice handicap with a bloody mares novice sums up what they have done in terms of dilution.

    If you're watching on tele yeah but at the track you want more space between the races to move around the course

    Youmdor's run against Teahupoo is good enough to win the boodles. Not sure what happened him at the DRF but even off top weight, the quality he is capable of is worth better than 20/1.

    Think the Morans horse is rightful favourite, looks very useful and the weight wound bother me. The price is gone on the ones at the very top of the market. If I was to have my first bet on it this week I'd side for Monte Cristo who is still a nice price and could have a tonne of untapped potential under him. Very young and inexperienced horse but I like him.

    Put the fiver free PP bet on Ballyadam

    Three e/w punts thereafter:

    14.30: Alnadam- decent form, although up in trip.
    15.05: Sharjah. I know there are stronger claims in the field, but never discount Mullins.
    16.15: Youmdor. Saw him name-checked here, and no real stand-outs in the race anyway.

    Well I wouldn't be looking in the Irish Times for information on horse racing! The Sun's your man plus a bit of gossip on megan and ginger.
