IT was a rather strange racing week, looking around the different tracks here and in Britain. Listowel got 25,700 racegoers in attendance on Wednesday. Perth Racecourse ended its season by tweeting on Thursday - Thank you, to you, our supporters, our loyal racegoers, catering, security, horsemen, and who make this magic happen at this little gem of a Racecourse.

Then Chelmsford didn’t want racegoers coming through the gates on Thursday, and the Curragh can’t get enough of them to come through its gates. Make sense of that!
