Of course, that type of publicity is just what we need at the moment with all the new regulations that have just come meaning that Joe Public is now going to be more alert than they otherwise might have been to any drone flying activities 

I suppose we will never know what actually happened, if the Drone did crash as being reported in the UK press, to bring the story to the fore, or if it was brought down by one of these new systems designed to disable Drones. There is big money involved in lots of ways in the horse racing world.

I could imagine some scandal about a parts sponsor providing the top racer with faulty parts and then betting big against them cause they know they have faulty gear.


Also for some reason I have an image of a jockey sitting inside of a pod frame with his head poking out the camera hole.
