[@edwardstanley8751]

Ken miles had won the initial triple crown but was robbed due to technicality that because he slowed down for the other two Bruce McCabe quote on quote drove further so instead of miles he won

Ken Miles might not be the greatest of all time, but he might just be the most honoured of all time.

This company should not be trading - booked tickets through these clowns 5 months ago and they emailed three weeks before event to say they could not provide tickets - DO NOT USE!!!!
