Brodie totally agree with your comment . It must be the same for all . The problem with N I Amateurs , the fields are a wrought . S I are fine , as the have good numbers . N I at Cambridge , horses are scratched the very next day the fields come with no intention ever to run . In any sport you give whatever ,every chance , as close as possible to the time to compete . Conditions outside those advertised at nomination time are made , just to get a horse into the field , then something else will scratch, with , as I said no intention to run . They say otherwise ,but people know it .Just a wrought.
