Rebecca Davies, executive director of Hereford racecourse, tells us how she has guided my favourite English track from the oblivion of closure to that rarity, a sports arena that re-opened and is now looking forward to its fifth season back. She speaks optimistically but realistically about the future of smaller racing venues like Hereford - and indeed nearby Worcester which she also runs - in a (post) Covid age, and about their importance to the local community and economy. I hope you enjoy it, and if you haven't been to Hereford, when crowds are re-admitted I'd recommend you give it a whirl.
