Bangor..... both courses are feet from each other
---------

By his referring to the Bangor Point-to-Point course.

By similar 'rule bending' - and ignoring 'UK' in the the thread title - can I claim ...

WEXFORD - Right-Hand, and Left-Hand courses. Happy

Even closer than Cheltenham OLD and NEW courses.

You can clearly see Kempton from Sandown and,possibly,the corporate Stand at Sandown from Kempton.Not too sure on that one.There is something visible that could be it.

You can also see the Wembley Arch from Sandown,though that's obviously a lot further away.

The 4.33 miles from Sandown to Kempton quoted above looks about right.

Sorry just read opening post. Otherwise it's Newmarker.
Report iamajambo May 1, 2016 11:00 PM BST
Depends on how you define 'courses'.Howabout,Kempton or Southwell or Lingfield AW or Jumps?

If you're talking 'facilities' that makes it a different matter.
