I thought there was a bit of a missed photo opportunity yesterday as Kempton hosted a large group of black and Asian children at the course cheering on the horses from the stands.
Aamilah could have been shown as a real role model to what can be achieved. The photo probably would have made most of mainstream media who are never slow to have a dig at the sport and show the negative side.
Even yesterday there were 2 animal ‘rights’ activists at the gate with a megaphone shouting at racegoers as they arrived going on about paying to watch horses break their necks and mentioning Kalif Du Berlais a horse they’d probably never heard of before the 10 Jan.
