Waiting for the runners
Looking along Salisbury Racecourse and waiting for the horses and riders to appear from the start away in the distance, see also

Situated high on the Downs just outside Salisbury and with fine views over the city, Salisbury Racecourse has been holding meetings since the 16th century. The course is partly straight with a pear shaped loop, the bends are tight and the finishing straight is up an incline. Races of less than one mile are run on the straight, over one mile and they follow the loop. For a couple of years now the racecourse has run a very popular free race day in October, allowing regulars and 'newbies' a chance to have a fun day at the races without having to pay admission.
