Horse racing sticks out like a sore thumb doesn't it. Given today is the start of the flat season has a lot to do with it I suppose. I do wish there was some responsible reporting by the media. We are continually filled with the admittedly tragic images of carcases being burnt in the fields and I am not for moment suggesting you've see one you've seen them all. what I am suggesting that news programmes could actually give us information on a local and national level which might assist us in making a judgement on which areas of the countryside are not accessible, if any and which are. It reminds me of the eclipse a year or so ago, when the media continually told us that the whole of Devon and Cornwall would be full and the roads one continual jam. what happened in reality is that it frightened everyone off and businesses lost a lot of money.
