I grew up near Epsom and as a treat in my teens had winter rides on the Downs. 1957. I own a wonderful book on TB racing in America America, The Jockey Club’s History of the Thoroughbred, bought when we visited Newmarket, but nothing on Epsom. So please educate me.
Note. I am a current hacker but not on a TB
Welcome to the forum. I know zilch about racehorse training at Epsom, but as you can see others do.
Is it you who are the retired hacker, or do you have a horse who is a retired hacker? <g>
