Talking Horses: where was the security on St Leger day at Doncaster?


Video of prolonged tomfoolery on Saturday suggests security presence was inadequate for a busy and prestigious raceday

Twitter users who take an interest in racing will probably, by now, have seen a video of some bad behaviour by a particular racegoer at Doncaster on St Leger day. Apparently efforts are being made to identify her but that’s not what concerns me (which is why I’m not linking to the video). What concerns me is how she was allowed to behave in that way without being stopped by security.
