Just bumper races?

Post by Andrea Bouwkamp »

So there are only bumper races for 3yo chasers now? Is this a new thing?

Since they started with bumper races a few years ago it has run thru week 5...Starting week 6 there is a mixture of bumper and regular chase races....I think its always has been like that

Chasers used to start mid season with their first races, so the bumpers mean we can race them straight away as they turn three, which is a nice thing. They are a common feature of National Hunt cards.
