Take
On The Tracks- updated June 14th 2011
The 2011 round of updates to the Take On The Tracks page,
the Roy Waterhouse Steeplechasing guide to Britain's National
Hunt racecourses, has been completed, so click the link to read the updated
page.
The
latest PLOG (Punters' Blog), June 6th: 'Now
THAT is what you ride to' The welcome return of the PLOG. On Derby Day I
had nothing better to do, so I watched the Derby, and like most people
wondered what the hell the winning rider was doing at the end; so what
about a uniform, standard-appearance for the winning post at all British
racetracks,
so
that jockeys know what to look for, win celebrations happen AFTER the line,
not before?
