Unused / unissued material - date and locations unclear or unknown. Somewhere in Britain. Various shots of the crowd at a wartime horse race. Seems to be in a large sports field rather than a regular track. Bookies take bets. Jockeys mill about before mounting their horses. Low angle shots of the horse race. Children dressed in pantomime horse go by. A man dressed as Adolf Hitler seems to be collection money. He stands with a man in German general’s uniform and a man dressed as a monkey. Horses are paraded before the crowd. Jockeys make their way to their horses and ride to starting point. More shots of a race. Panning shot across jockeys on horses. Jockeys seem to be signing autographs. Man drops white flag (as winner crosses line?). FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ. EXPLORE OUR ONLINE CHANNEL, BRITISH PATHÉ TV.
