New Racecourse opening in Yorkshire. BHA H4C exercising their authority yet again.
Clearly, no thought for the owners, trainers, jockeys, stable staff and indeed horses that were targeted at this fixture on Good Friday affected by the short notice cancellation.
Then the racecourse staff, hospitably, cleaners, chefs all affected, bet they would have been getting double time for this day.
"It's not like it is their livelihood, I am sure this is just a hobby to most of them, get's them out for an hour."
It's bad enough when you lose a fixture in this country to the weather, but when you have the choice to make a controlled decision, it is not like safety would have been an issue.
You may have shelled out money on hotels, travel none of which are obliged to give any refunds. Again more losses with the knock on effect.
Crazy decision by very blinkered powers that be at the BHA.
Plus, I am not even a lover of this course, can never back a winner there but can appreciate their losses and positions.
