<p>PICK 6 punters have two carryover pools to look forward to this Easter weekend. At Turffontein on Satutrday, the pool is expected to grow to R1,8 million before the running of Race 4 at 2pm, after R265,269 was carried over from the Vaal on Thursday. The estimated Pick 6 pool for Clairwood Sunday is R2 millon, boosted by a healthy R425,729 not won at last Wednesday&rsquo;s Scottsville meeting.<br />

And what a feast is in store as Inglis Drever goes for a famous third victory in the Ladbrokes World Hurdle. However, it may be worth taking him on with My Way De Solzen.<br />

LONDON – We talk about the Derby as &quot;the Blue Riband of the turf&quot;, Royal Ascot as &quot;the best Flat racemeeting in the calendar&quot;, and the Grand National as &quot;the greatest jumping race in the world&quot;, but to many racing aficionadas there is nothing quite like four days at the Cheltenham Festival, which will attract more than 220,000 people this week for a totally unique experience.<br />
