Old ITV programme The Racing Game where was "Seabury" racecourse?

Sid Halley was played by Mike Gwilym in a six episode television series, The Racing Game. The series was produced by Yorkshire Television and aired between November 1979 and January 1980. The first episode was a brief adaptation of Odds Against; the other episodes were original stories created for the series by various writers. In his autobiography, The Sport of Queens, Dick Francis says he owes the existence of Whip Hand to Mike Gwilym's performance. The actor so closely matched Francis's concept of Halley that he became interested in writing a second book about the same man. It was filmed mainly in Yorkshire at the Pontefract, York and Wetherby racecourses predominantly. The first episode featured a young John Collings Snr as a member of the crowd.

I still have a copy of the book "Odds Against" at home.

I think I have every single Dick Francis thriller; read them as a teenager.

wasnt there a story a few years ago that his wife was actually the author & they used dicks name because he was well known in racing

pretty sure one was filmed at catterick bridge i seem to remember the reflection of a car mirror throwing him off a horse, catterick would be the only course in yorkshire where a main road runs along [close]the home straight.

Yes, Francis's wife actually wrote the books. And very good they were too.

His son Felix has carried on the writing with the same racing theme.

Inspired by this thread, I've bought the DVDs and watched the first programme. I'm beginning to understand why there was no second series.

Started watching this yesterday, haven't seen it since it was originally shown on TV.

The same at Beverley foxy, main road right along the 5f strip
