2.20pm race at cheltenham today

[footycard steve]

did anyone else watch the 2-20 at cheltenham race today? the first 7 horses taking the turn towards the final fence took the wrong course which gave the horses 8th-10th at the time the first 3 places so the horse that was 8th and never going to get in the places won ,it was quite amazing i'd imagine the stewards will be handing out bans and fines left right and center.

Riders Jo Coward & Adrian Heskin banned for 12 days after cross country race 'wrong course' drama, all other riders cleared.

Sky Bet are refunding single bets placed on the 7 horses who took the wrong course.

Never seen it mate but seen similar things happening through the years in horseracing. They call it the sport of kings but i call it the sport of amatuers.

i didnt realise 4 of the horses were taken back to the correct course to jump the final fence and complete the race,channel 4 didnt show that.

Dont know how you can say that it's not the first time that happened i've been going to the horse racing bang on 35years,,, it's a industry that employs thousands all over GB+ROI and it can be a great family outing
