maybe reopened noms for tom meeting

with the meeting having been moved by a whole 7 days and just looking at the feature fields there are a lot of top horses missing from the feature races ..the meeting if held last week was 3 weeks from july day and an extra week if the noms were reopened and acceptances done again could have seen better quality fields ..the champions cup has only 2 3yos in and with due respect they aint the leading lights amongst the 3yo crop ..the 2 juvenile features also see plenty better 2yos missing in action and so it goes on ..that extra week recovery means a lot to a horse especially coming at the end of a tough season so any thoughts on this?

You have a point , but maybe a tad unfair to the connections already entered and happy ?

Pirates, if only we all had that crystal ball, but I can only imagine the logistical/admin nightmare that would cause.

its very unusual in fact in my life unprecedented to move a major meeting with so many group races out by a full week ,,the thing is we talking group racing we talking the effect it has on the stud book etc ..for the benefit of the sport and the betting public you want the best possible fields on such a big day ..
