But really just a documentary of 30 unspectacular seconds for the audience. Early on, we get a look at the empty track and the people sitting below the one doing the filming. At seven seconds into the film the fastest horses and riders enter the picture. They keep coming for another few seconds and after the last one went by, the crowd leave the stands and run on the track just the way it happens occasionally after a big football game when one team managed to win and plays one league higher next year and everybody from the audience runs down on the grass. Not really an interesting short film though and I'm positive that Birt Acres has done better work in his other films.
