The Cheltenham Festival is not a charity | Weighed-In

The Weighed In team are back to cover all the action from the Ayr Gold Cup meeting and Newbury’s Saturday card that saw a superb renewal of the feature race on Saturday with Karl Burke landing a 40,000/1 tricast. The panel also touched on some of the best performances from elsewhere in Europe this week with Rebel’s Romance regaining his crown in the Preis von Europa in Cologne and Archie Watson winning the Group 3 Prix Eclipse at Chantilly with Electrolyte. In addition to that, news stories took up plenty of the team’s time this week with City Of Troy’s sparkling Southwell gallop delved into, the changes that will be coming to the 2025 Cheltenham Festival schedule and the retirement of Franny Norton after a superb 36-year career, finishing off with a treble at his beloved Chester. Finally, The Irish Champions Festival has been a big talking point in the media this week and the panel gave their views on the two-day meeting and expressed their positiveness compared to the negative words that have been shouted in the aftermath of the great weekend of racing in Ireland.
