Does racing measure up in terms of its ethnic diversity?

Picture the last time you were at a racecourse. Ascot, Brighton, Carlisle, wherever. Consider the crowd, the jockeys and trainers, everyone. The age, the gender. The colour.

According to the last census in 2011, one in seven people in England and Wales were classified as non-white. But is that mix reflected in the numbers that go racing or who work in the sport?

We don’t know for certain because no-one has ever counted. But the anecdotal evidence is blinding.
