Crowd control problems at auctions
102 people (and one lama) were arrested and five injured at this weekend’s Raceclub’s auctions. The first of the new season the auctions attracted owners from far and wide with hundreds of horses up for sale. Experts were predicting that some G1 challengers would transfer for very large sums of money but at the time of going to print the list of top transfers has yet to be published. In recent days the auctions and claims thread has been inundated with owners advertising their offerings and one owner who was present at the auction told me it was one of the busiest for years. Police asked all owners to have their horse’s tts ready for inspection and a shotgun_mike was questioned by anti-terrorism police because of his possession of a firearm in his name!
