    Not sure whether we have had this one before, apologies if so.

    There are only 4 British racecourses whose names do NOT contain at least one of the letters R-A-C-E. Can you name them?

    OK Let's try a few variations

    There are only 3 British racecourses whose names do NOT contain at least one of the letters C-A-R-D. Can you name them?

    Another one. Which letter appears, at least once, in the most number of British racecourses (for example the letter "f" appears in 8 racecourses)

    Correct. It appears in 39 British race course names. Followed by "e" (37) then "t" (36). Not a lot of people knew that
