last hurdle at taunton...

i cant for the life of me think why you would leave a gap inbetween fence and rail.what is the reasoning behind it anyone ?

Didn't this happen twice at one meeting here a few years back ?

Ludicrous, its happened before apparently.

its such a easy fix though,just run the fence up to the rail.problem solved.

Presumably it is to let loose horses get through without interfering with the runners? Jockeys might try to keep to the inner half of the flight in future.

the last hurdle used to be in the middle of the track with a big gap to the rail,the cretins have moved it towards the rail but still left a gap,beyond belief.still silver lining i was on bach on tow.
