Name the racecourse – I have no idea, I did see online that the video may have featured on a Dutch TV music programme BUT that’s no guarantee t is in Holland.
February 1, 2025 at 18:08 #1719507The “Resultats” and “Pari Mutuel” shots in the video would suggest that it’s in France, but I have no idea what racecourse it is.
February 1, 2025 at 18:51 #1719516It could be Groenendaal in Belgium, the opening racecourse shots look like the Royal Lodge there.
February 1, 2025 at 19:05 #1719521Might be an easier one
February 1, 2025 at 19:48 #1719523Brighton…, 14th June 1999.
February 2, 2025 at 00:39 #1719546Robnorth – You nailed it. It is Groenendaal. Been there many times when I lived in Belgium.
February 2, 2025 at 09:45 #1719561Yes, it was the Royal Lodge that was the big clue. The old stands were demolished in 1985 and replaced with modern ones, but the course closed sometime in the early 2000s with those stands demolished in 2011 leaving only a refurbished Royal Lodge.
I enjoy the detective work required for this sort of thread! I got the date of the Brighton meeting from looking at the horse names on the bookmakers’ boards and checking them on the RP database.
