Ruby Walsh: A new programme, but has anyone noticed?

Rascal ridden by jockey Jonathan Burke (third left) wins the Gamble Responsibly at Betmgm 'National Hunt' Maiden Hurdle at Doncaster Racecourse.
The new-look winter program hits full speed this weekend in Ireland, and I should be bouncing off the walls with the excitement of what lies in store today, but instead, I can't help wondering if no one has been paying attention.
National Hunt racing is not just a national sport, but it's not very international either. It's Ireland, England and France, but from a fan point of view, it's Ireland and England.
