Popularity of NH game starting to defy logic

I'LL tell you what Punchestown was last week: it was a savage success.

The popularity of this National Hunt game is starting to defy logic. I mean there were in excess of 29,000 at Punchestown on Friday and that is quite astonishing.

Friday is supposed to be a day when most people go to work for God's sake. But no the work was kicked aside, rightly so, and instead the enclosures at Punchestown were bursting.
