Two clips have been brought to my notice.
They both report on the win of Meadow Court, bought just the day before by Bing.
The first is from British Pathe a firm that supplied newsreels to cinemas -
The second is from Universal Newsreel with an American commentator likening the start to the exit from an Irish pub at closing time! It is The Curragh, incidentally.

Thanks Richard. Nice footage! At the end of the race Meadow Court looks like he was talking to Bing.

The horse told (me) Bing, what did you think of that, mate.
