    Backing two runners is the relentless pursuit of value. Backing each way is a shortcut to the poor house. Only 7% make a long term profit.

    I remember a field at Brighton being attacked by a flock of seagulls back in the 80’s.

    (or was it by

    The Teardrop Explodes

    ..???)

    Title needs changing as it was the horses who hit the swans, leaving one dead I think. There were 3, but RUK only showed 2 walking around when they looked back at the incident.

    I would have thought someone at the course would have made sure the swans were cleared out of the way before the race started.

    Having stopped on the Oxford ring-road one day and tried to move a couple of swans off the road, I can assure you it is no easy task!
