There certainly are, but they are short-distance horses, which run mostly as two-year-olds and can get only five or six furlongs.
The first column, for example, should state "one mile,"three furlongs,"50 yards" or whatever it may be.
They will have to increase the number of two-year old five furlong races and other five furlong races.
The average cost of providing poles and wires in rural areas is about £40 per furlong.
I am told that thanks to the fact that the final three or four furlongs are slightly uphill, they especially like the course for two-year-olds.
Beyond this radius, we charge an additional yearly rental of £2 per furlong.
At the moment, because of the limitation of channels, all one gets on broadcasting are almost always edited highlights or the final furlongs.
The rental quoted covers a line measure two miles five furlongs.
