Did anyone see that Muppet starter for the 3:00 race? The horses and jockeys had been ready for ages and it was 1m30s beyond post time. I'm not sure who ran fastest toward the tape - the starter or the horses. The buffoon
virtually fell up the steps of the rostrum to start the race....you would have thought it a Carry On film rather than a NH race. 
I am sure I could hear him saying "Steady on old boy I was just having a quick snifter there!"
