Two weeks have flown by, but surprisingly when I checked the website stats, it's actually been busier without SM links than with! Therefore I won't be posting daily links to the website, but it will still be updated daily. The Facebook group will remain. I actually hate social media!
Away for 2 weeks from tomorrow. The goingbehind.com website is set up to post daily racecards but there'll be no social media posts until I return.
Racing Mirror on Saturday 3 October 1981 covered a superb weekend including the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket and Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp. Chepstow, Towcester and Kelso jumpers were also in action, as well as a flat card at Haydock.
Sixty years ago today a very competitive card at Nottingham was the principal meeting. Monday October 4th 1965 also featured a card from the late, lamented Wye National Hunt course.
Perfect description...
Racing Mirror featuring Goodwood, Nottingham, Hamilton & Sedgefield cards from Tuesday 1 October 1985.
Not much in the way of interaction today, but the horses I was looking for were Indian Diva, Saucy Belle, Never Rock & Prime Justice who were all making their rules debuts before going on to finish last in the 76-79 Grand Nationals. Rough Silk (72) was also right.
