That was a really good read, thanks for posting it! I was unaware of Lord Bentinck and his contributions to the game. Admiral Rous I had heard of thanks to this tour of Newmarket by Sir Mark Prescott. Admiral Rous discussion starts at 23:20... TW |

A really good read! Interesting how people get into racing, too. Robert Bagot, the civil engineer, who wasn't even into horse racing, but had brilliant design gifts to make the racecourse into something special.
