"Just a thought.

Nothing to do with the beach or protests all to do with more testing. Cases do not matter, that does not equate to deaths.

392 patients have died (this year) at Leicester hospitals, who have tested positive for COVID-19

"Seven of those deaths have been announced since last Wednesday (17 June). The ages of the patients range between those in their 60s to those in their 90s.

Nobody in the country died under the age of 40 in this time.

https://www.england.nhs.uk/…/statist…/covid-19-daily-deaths/

In the ENTIRE COUNTRY, in NHS "care??" there were 15 in mid 40's,110 aged 60-79,and 165 over 80.

Only 87 of these 290 were in the Mildlands area, meaning 80 deaths were not even in Leicester!

I wonder why horseracing seems to get favourable treatment. The last sport out... Cheltenham and the first one back.. Why?

Even the deniers know that social gatherings spread diseases.. So why take the chance? And say in the same breath

.. We need to get a grip of this local spike so need to lockdown again.. And at the same time.. We think it makes perfect sense to have a gathering of approx 1000 people from all over the country...

Was listening to the BBC news: apparently the coty’ Mayor wasn’t given the figures he’d been requesting ....... for a week ! It wasn’t even him that asked for the lockdown.

From what I can guess he was informed and treated like a bit of an afterthought

Shhhhh... it’s all young fit healthy people dying because they dared defy Boris and went to the beach. Leicester is famous for its beaches btw, we often go sea fishing there , not now of course , we never go out , not even to put the bin out on Tuesday unless Boris says we can.

But.. Behind closed doors, does not mean, without a large gathering of people..

TV, radio, journalist and camera crews, roadies and operators. Stewards, security, course management, first aid, vets, medical Centre staff, transport, drivers, jockeys, lads, grooms, owners, trainers, bookies spies, jockey club blazers and so on... A lot of people to make the event happen behind closed doors.

Over 100 runners tonight...I guess it has been thoroughly thought through..some of the stall handlers have refused to work... It is outdoors with a lot of space and social distancing going on...As a non contact sport,its record is good..Just watched the opening race and it looks OK.

Cheltenham was, with hindsight not such a good idea, but as you know it was pre lockdown.

Because it rakes in money from bookies, and the cruel bastards woukd only send the redundant horses to slaughter just like tgey shoot them when injured, as theyre not going to pay for upkeep if not earning them anything back

This the same mayor who did a cummings at least 3 times that we know of?

The one who went down the Trump line of "there are only more cases because we are testing more" ( implying that with less testing they would have less cases...so no problem?).

Their police and crime commissioner was asked on sky news (as others have suggested) if it was to do with the "illegal garment manufacturers" who never closed down at all.....

Dont need beaches and mass protest gatherings if that is the case.

It is strictly controlled and regulated. Just as much as football is.

All sports are adhering to Goverment and PHE guidelines.

Probably 300 to 500 people maximium at an outdoors racecourse. All observing strict rules. Compare that to how many unregulated people pass through an indoor supermarket in an hour.

"Just a thought.

Given that Leicester is literally smack bang in the middle of the uk

And its coastline

And is over 120 miles away from London and the majority or protests that where in the south (E.g Bristol)

I'd say statistically speaking probably a lot less than other cities in the uk.

But hey pull opinions out your arse get answers out of thin air

Horse racing brings in an average £80 billion revenue ! ! That’s probably it’s given the go ahead ?

All those logistically involved you guys listed, plus all those race courses need regular up keeping, stable hands feeding mucking out & exercising horses daily needed even in lockdown.

They’re not cheap to have stood around not earning ? Maybe look at investors names of ownership too ?

Racing has restarted, and by pure coincidence not only does Matt Hancock have a major racecourse in his constituency, but also they and the Jockey Club are donors to him...

What has borris done recently

Other than defend 3 of his advisors and mps from major scandals

And waive Timtams around a say who needs the EU. We are signing a free trade deal with Australia worth 1% of trade deal with the EU.

Borris hasn't put out a coherent message at any point of the pandemic other than at the start.

Which was continue shaking hands with people and have a stiff upper lip.

How did that work out for him... Oh yeah he nearly died from the virus.

Who would want to listen to him? Is the more worrying question

Leicester ethnic community is predominantly hindu Asian.

There are open air celebritons every year in vicky Park for eid.

I believe these where limited this year and social distancing was in place
