Anyone have an interest in this ? - I am getting next to bugger all done this week at work watching it on the lappy

No financial interest but I've been looking whimsically at the pictures.

No financial interest myself - very difficult to run a betting account from Canada now - I tried it last year by setting up a uk based paypal account to load it but they figured out it was dodgy and suspended it .

Still enjoyable to watch on the computer

What, pray, is the attraction in horse racing?

It has been called the sport of kings. Most kings are barking mad.

It's terrifying.

Something I followed within reason when I was in the UK - Cheltenham was always the highlight of the year

I thought Cheltenham was all about the drinking?

I'm in agreement with Souvy on this one. Maybe Cheltenham is different but Ascot seems to me to be a bunch of hello harry toffs drinking champers and acting like chavs with morning suits on....or do I have it all wrong.

When it comes down to it - almost everything is all about the drinking isnt it or do I need to start going to meetings ?

This year Cheltenham has it's very own Hollywood sign

No, but if you want company in your alcoholic depravity, I could be your man.

Sigh. I miss the horse racing.

Its probably for the best I dont gamble anymore as I was never any good at it, but yeah, Cheltenham was always a highlight!
