Racing Hopes Dashed
Posted
Following the theme of this year’s Theme Dinner, horse racing fever hit Denton again recently. Listeners to the Radio 4 breakfast show “Today” were excited when on 22nd June the programme’s racing expert tipped a horse called Denton, trained by James Gask and ridden by Claire Lindop, running in the 4.45 at Lingfield Park. Local bookies reported a lot of interest but, alas, hopes were dashed when the horse was withdrawn just before the start and all bets were off.
