Pupils glimpse behind the scene at Goodwood
Led by the Judith Allen and Vince Slattery of the British Horse Racing Education and Standards Trust, the pupils, and those from three other schools, were talked through the wide variety of job opportunities in the racing industry.
For an appetiser, professional jockey Vince Slattery gave the students a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the weighing room and jockeys changing rooms, before discussing the handicapping system, and its use as a practical application of the students Maths studies.
BHEST's Judith Allen went on to talk about racehorse physiology as well as safety limitations in the parade ring, before offering an insight into how racing markets itself as a leisure industry.
