I often wonder why the sport has interested me so much.

I often wonder why more people aren't interested...racing takes my breath away. Beauty, pagentry, history, excitement...

I once read a proposal for a book that someone was writing on another forum on Timely Writer and it was so interesting. I wasn't able to find much online, but I did find this, most of which is more of a history of Suffolk Downs. Some really interesting old photographs too.
