Re: Horse Racing
START SWITCH AMONG NATIONAL CHANGES.

Quote:
Aintree and the British Horseracing Authority have announced a number of changes that will be implemented for the 2013 John Smith's Grand National.
One of the key measures is moving the position of the start for the world's most famous steeplechase forward 90 yards, away from the crowds and grandstands, among other changes to the starting procedure.
This means the distance of the race will now be around four miles and three and a half furlongs, reduced from the previous distance of four and a half miles.
