racing coverage hits a NEW LOW

and then just to make sure it causes maximum irritation, the car drives along the rail as the horses reach the final furlong, thereby obscuring the view of those who have paid!

Did you 2 ever race against each other??

Not sure! I shall, for the sake of having nothing else to do, see if I can find out. My suspicion is yes as we were both decent 2m hurdlers at or around the same time.

at a minimum, they both ran in the 1982 champion hurdle.

Had a very large bet on Broadsword in the early 80s at Newbury in a 4 horse race, he got beat by a hurdler called Ra Tapu.Went to Newbury thinking it was a cert, Ra Tapu made all the running,not a good day out.
