Motor Racing from England: Shell Oils Grand Prix of Europe from Brands Hatch

Horse Racing from France: The Trust House Forte Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe a Longchamp
Sagace, 'une machine a galloper', ran away with it for France last time and hasn't been headed so far this season. Shernazar prepared at Newmarket, with Swinburn W. up, beat Cauthen, Slip Anchor, and the course record, at Kempton last month. Should be one or the other. Helpful huh? The second leg from Julian Wilson.

On the Verge of Life
Hemmed in, buffeted, flattened or deafened by the passing traffic, you might think motorways are not a home for wildlife. Would it surprise you, then, to learn that in less than 30 years these concrete corridors have become one of Britain's largest nature reserves?
Forbidden to people, their verges conceal a world where animals and plants flourish: hedgehogs and weasels; voles and mice and their arch-enemy, the kestrel; butterflies and bees; vivid carpets of cowslips, bluebells and poppies, even a rare orchid. Amazingly, all these and more thrive within a few paces of thundering vehicles. Narrated by Martin Jarvis Photographedby
