I would like to disagree with the previous thread. When anyone go's racing they quickly realise that they cannot see a thing until the last couple of furlongs and so resort to watching it on TV at the track. In other words they pay £20 to do exactly what they could do for free on the high street. Now Ascot have come up with a brilliant and innovative solution to this. They have ensured that as the horses enter the last 2f you can only really see their hoofs flash past at an elevated position. This ensures that the visiting public are not really aware that they have seen nothing whilst they were out galloping in the country. It is really a quite brilliant idea, build up the levels of the straight with the dirt you are digging out from the main viewing pit.
