Im looking forward to the festival starting tomorrow. Whos got any predictions? Who will you be cheering for?
The first couple of races look fairly predictable but the rest of the first day looks harder.

Your post brings back a few memories. I spent a year in Europe (1970/71), with about 5 months in the UK. Went to the 1971 Cheltenham Gold cup meeting and saw L'Escargot win the cup. If my memory serves me right, he won the previous year as well.

It will be a bit strange this year, with very few or no spectators.

Unfortunatly i never got round to ever visiting Cheltenham, Its on my list of things to do.
A number of years back i went with a group of work collegues to newmarket track on a vip trip, all in suits and dresses only for vip areas lol. The trip was great, on the bus we past homes in newmarket that were on sale for a 7 figure sum, i guess living near the home of horse racing does wonders for your house price lol.
