3 Newmarket?
4 Kelso?
5 Windsor?

 

Come on lads, you local lads will know...put me out of my misery.

 

3. Aintree

 

5. Goodwood

 

4 can't be Kelso though wrong way around. It's a northern track though I think.

 

Is 8 Yarmouth Ronaldo?

 

8 Hamilton

We got Sandown too didn't we? Numero 6

 

Is 4 york

 

Southwell number 9

 

Yes, sorry. Tried to change it before you noticed

 

Close

 

No

 

3 is York

 

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.
