Catalano 951 Report post Posted July 16, 2021 So the hill is going, and I know it's progress, but I don't have to be happy about it. Why doesn't the club give the hill one last hurrah and program a summer (depends when they start demolishing I guess) flat race two times over the hill - 4500m, flag start, highweight. I reckon it'd be a great spectacle - and yes, the field would be full of slugs and jumpers, but it'd be a great betting race! skoota, Insider, Memphis3 and 4 others 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stodge 1,938 Report post Posted July 17, 2021 We had a 4000m race at Lingfield last Wednesday. The longest UK race is the Queen Alexandra over 4400m at Ascot - Pontefract has a couple of 4200m races. A 4500m race would be unusual and a real spectacle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
