Bank Holiday Sherlockian Horse Racing.

“I glanced at the card to see the entries.”

The 3 o’clock, this Bank Holiday Monday (3 May 2010), at Kempton Park is being sponsored by The Sherlock Holmes Society of London.  The Silver Blaze Wessex Cup is a first for the Society and probably the first ever Sherlockian event of this type in the UK.  To view the race card on the Racing Post website look here http://www.racingpost.com/horses2/cards/home.sd?r_date=2010-05-03.

Sherlock’s a Marathon Man!

Ian Young, who ran the Virgin London Marathon (on Sunday 25 April 2010) as Sherlock Holmes, completed the course in 4 hours, 1 minute, 47 seconds, setting the record as the fastest book character.  The fastest TV character was Paul Franks, as a Dalek.  He did it in 4 hours, 1 minute, 46 seconds!  It’s still not too late to support the Sparks charity which Ian is trying to raise money for –  http://www.justgiving.com/ian-young0.
