Racing in Europe remains united ? but it's divided in coverage

Well, that's that. We've left the EU*. I say we, but it's the UK, unrelated to racing, unless you count the misnamed Racing UK. For racing governance, Ireland is intact and Britain is England, Scotland and Wales.

There will still be a welcome in the hillside, but what about a Valkommen till Bro Park? You'd hope so. Just as the UK was gracelessly becoming Europe's first country to leave, Bro was stylishly becoming its latest racecourse to arrive.

Scandinavian racing has been waving a big flag recently. It's a European success story, not something you can say about much. Just google it – Scandinavian racing!
