OPINION
BADMINTON will have a different feel this year with the Coronation also taking place over the weekend and consequently the change of dates to run dressage on Friday and Saturday, cross-country on Sunday and showjumping on Monday.
The event ran to this timetable over the 2010 and 2011 bank holiday weekends, driven by a BBC TV deal, because we still have to put the magazine to press on Monday despite the event not finishing until that day.
