Towcester Racecourse successfully bid for an additional National Hunt fixture on the 10th of November 2016. The weather forecast looked to have potential, and I couldn't resist heading over with my camera. The concluding race on the card was an 8-runner Class 5 Maiden Open National Hunt Flat Race. The ground was described as 'Good'.
A free day last Thursday saw me revisit an old stomping ground for the first time in a good few years and for a rather different reason to those previous visits. I’m talking about Towcester Racecourse, located in my home county of Northamptonshire and about eight miles south-west of Northampton.
