Club and royal family central to Oxford Street racing plan

The streets of London are apparently paved with gold. Soon enough, one of those streets could also be layered with palettes covered with a sand-based surface on which extremely fast thoroughbreds will race. As ideas go, it's certainly innovative. The identity of the innovators is certainly interesting as well.

It was at the end of January this publication carried a story on the news that not one but two companies want to bring horseracing to the heart of London.

Less is known about the bid proposed by one of the organisations, GAG 403, whose name presumably makes sense to someone. According to Companies House, the business, with a registered office not far from Newmarket, changed its identity to City Horse Racing in July 2015 before reverting to GAG 403 in January. That potentially was not a progressive move.
