So many weird stories from the past three months are linked to Horse Racing.

I'm fairly surely none of this is libelous and I am only putting dots out there, not joining them up.

But something doesn't seem right 1/
Rose Paterson was tragically found dead in a wood this morning. She was chair of the Jockey Club which is responsible for Cheltenham Racecourse among others

Another board member of the Jockey Club is Dido Harding

Dido Harding of course awarded enormous T+T NHS contract 2/
Matt Hancock announced that Horse Racing was the first sport to return. He is the MP for ... Newmarket and receives £10,000s in donations from the industry.

Both Rose Paterson and Dido Harding married to Tory MPs. 3/
Mrs Paterson was also chair of Aintree, sponsored by Randox Health, 'advised' by her husband Owen Paterson MP, who were awarded a massive NHS contract. No other firms were allowed to bid for this contract?

The Jockey Club is currently embroiled in a scandal with Tory Minsiter Robert Jenrick who intervened to recover an appeal from the Club for a £1billion green belt development programme rejected by the local council.

What, and i cannot stress this enough, the fuck is going on? 5/
