Seems a strange track to show. Must have been at the time ITV had rights to some tracks and BBC others.

Well yes its that one, its just not a very important racecourse even now. Think their biggest race of the season was downgraded this year.

22nd April 1984.

Captain Hobo will be enthralled as we find "Australian Cinema" season in a snooker sandwich on BBC2. A word in there hasn't aged too well.
