Re: Something Odd at the races
I sound's like the article explained it - however, can anyone trust mainstream media (said lightly). It would be interesting to hear updates regarding investigations and/or findings.

Re: Something Odd at the races
I Found another post this time from sporting life with quotes from witnesses and there is another from the BBC that says the Electric company said there were no damaged cables etc.

It is still under investigation and like you say if they rule out utility causes then what next?
in light of other things winding up dead ( birds etc ) could be an interesting incident.
