Re: Horse Racing
CHELTENHAM WELL COVERED UP.

Quote:
All frost covers were in place at Cheltenham by 2pm on Sunday ahead of the four-day Festival fixture.
The operation on the Old Course, where racing takes place for the first two days of the meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday, was completed on Saturday afternoon, along with vulnerable areas on the cross country course, used on Tuesday only.
The New Course, used for racing on Thursday and Friday, was covered on Sunday.
In total, the area protected by the covers is 65 acres, or the equivalent of 45 football pitches, and has involved 630 individual covers.
"All the frost covers are now down," said clerk of the course Simon Claisse.
