On the adjustment to fences thing...
Listened to Mick Fitzgerald the other day, he said one of the problems has been caused by tinkering with fences, he singled out Beechers.
He said before the alterations, the jockeys spread out, because the course was sloped and the wider you took the jump the less the drop was, but now it was even all the way across which caused jockeys to bunch up to take the shortest route
