This week we're taking a whistlestop tour round British racecourses both big and small. How many can you name?

No cheating <laugh>

1 Let's start with an easy one. Can you name this most celebrated of racecourses?

I am glad that STH went first as he named four of the six that I knew for definite.

Number 3 is YORK and Number 5 is an old picture of GOODWOOD.

Just to put STH out of his misery, Kelso is a Northern track as it is in Scotland. With the Stobart sponsorship, I wonder if 4 is CARLISLE, although I have never been there.
