I see the Horse Racing memorial twitter page has put up this note “Would Like to Apologise to
PHOTOGRAPHERS of the Racecourses for any Photos I use on my Page without Permission.I will in future be asking” so clearly some petty-minded imbecile has been having a go.
They only place I’ve had any problems (so far) has been an England football match and, even then, the bloke on the gate just told me not to be too obvious about it “because they can get a bit sniffy about it”. It was a rubbish match anyway, barely worth bothering to photograph. They were much more laid back at the rugby.
As Crepello says, just one more effort to alienate the race-going public. A woman at Plumpton told me they’d even taken a bar of chocolate off her at the gate at Newbury.
