Off to epsom races on friday, been before and couldnt find cycle racks, but below is a statement on their website. So emailed expecting had improved. Sadly they havent and there is no cycle parking, so the jockey club dont care about sustainable travel but want to pretend they do

It does seem strange to me considering number of games you have seen , probably approaching 2000, that you believe in the absence of seriously inclement weather that the referee might call a halt before the end of ninety minutes play.
