Minus racing on the sand or whatever it is they race on over there
They do have grass tracks (oil buys a lot of water!), but they also have all weather tracks just as we do.

Flicked on Eurosport earlier
Snooker seems to be the way forward in regards to live sport!

Ironically it's going to be all these niche sports that are going to flourish I think BT was showing non-league football live earlier!

Horse racing is very uniquely placed to be able to carry on without an audience

I’m not sure other sports are

Looks like football could be back in a month or two

I suspect they are going to have a challenge to get it completed before the start of next season. The 'peak' is supposed to be in June/July, so they are only going to get it completed if they revert to 'behind closed doors'

I thought the peak was 8/9 weeks now cos it has ramped up so end of May beginning of june

they should be fine if everyone plays 8 matches a week.

I have just completed my profit accumulator free trial sign up offers and I have just heard that the last racing event for a while was yesterday, so now i am a little hesitant on if i should begin my premium membership now and if there will be much left for me too bet on? Anybody have any advice, would be much appreciate.

I think I would wait. Matched betting is going to be dead for the rest of this month and most of April.

Irish Racing was going ahead behind closed doors. If it does then expect to see some Irish meetings magically appear on a Saturday on ITV (not this week) .There is an evening meeting planned in Ireland on Friday so there may be an option for some betting there.

So what does that mean then

Can they just send over all the UK horses and sort of do the same BIG races but over there? Not sure they can actually if the track layout would be different!

With travel restrictions it may be difficult to get UK horses over to Ireland. But as you might have seen @ Chelts the Irish have a fair few horses to go around, so I think they will have enough to cover a few meetings a week easily.

Getting horses there isn't the problem, it's where we put the people who have to go with them! It's my job to organise that and it is a nightmare, I am sat here twiddling my thumbs! I doubt racing in Ireland will keep going now, UK racing is not.

Ok here comes stupid question of the day

Do horses travel on planes and if so how?

Horses do travel on planes (as freight - in special containers), but generally UK horses going to France or Ireland will travel in horse boxes via the normal (mostly ferry) routes
