@MikeParcej @RacingPost @RacingTV @Racingwelfare @NARSnewsinfo @NTFnews @AtTheRaces @SkySportsRacing Happened to us at Caen a couple of years ago, they weren’t agressive and more resigned really but it was quite a shock to see them there!

@RacingPost @RacingTV @Racingwelfare @NARSnewsinfo @NTFnews @AtTheRaces @SkySportsRacing It happen with Hugo Palmer a couple of years ago

@RacingPost @RacingTV @Racingwelfare @NARSnewsinfo @NTFnews @AtTheRaces @SkySportsRacing When I worked at Folkestone RC I was made aware of how easy it was to get through without a passport by laying across the horse in the right place through the scanners. Not sure if that is still possible now though

@MikeParcej @RacingPost @RacingTV @Racingwelfare @NARSnewsinfo @NTFnews @AtTheRaces @SkySportsRacing Thankfully the French police were there to help them onto a boat...

@RacingPost @RacingTV @Racingwelfare @NARSnewsinfo @NTFnews @AtTheRaces @SkySportsRacing Pleased all ended well 👏

@RacingPost @RacingTV @Racingwelfare @NARSnewsinfo @NTFnews @AtTheRaces @SkySportsRacing OMG - scary moment. Glad all ended well

@RacingPost @RacingTV @Racingwelfare @NARSnewsinfo @NTFnews @AtTheRaces @SkySportsRacing Wow. Go steady!!

@MikeParcej @RacingPost @RacingTV @Racingwelfare @NARSnewsinfo @NTFnews @AtTheRaces @SkySportsRacing Sorry to hear this Amy! What next do racing staff have to carry personal alarms? Security around racehorses & staff on course is obviously paramount that’s part & parcel of entry conditions but in transit what else what on earth could these folk be in possession of? Unthinkable!
