We still need one more apparently and I reckon there is one in SA - that midweek skychannel meeting that's broadcast - a very long straight.




PS Sha Tin is in Hong Kong - that would be the Northern hemisphere ................

Ran in the Agua Caliente Hcp. At the time the richest race in the northern hemisphere (probably the world). Seabiscuit also won teh race.

"Prohibition and Sunday racing restrictions made Caliente a popular place for Hollywood glitterati." They could drink and bet because it was south of the US border, Tijuana, Mexico, and no prohibition, that why bob?
