the Exeter Racecourse hosted the Clydesdale racing charity fundraiser last week, for the Devon air ambulance. How that's connected, helicopter to horse racing, I don't know. But racing draft horses is a beautiful thing to see


seems that there isn't a lot of work for horses anymore, and a lot of draft horses are now into competitions, even dressage. http://www.horsenation.com/2014/10/09/5-clydesdales-who-are-letting-their-feathered-freak-flags-fly/ for videos on barrel racing, dressage, etc

Devon Air Ambulance Trust owns and operates two Air Ambulances in the county of Devon. They respond to over 1,000 incidents a year. Proud to be independent of Government and National Lottery funding, the Charity relies on public generosity to keep its helicopters flying

Sophia Floersch - with 'Dare to be Different' on the side of her vehicle goes over Sho Tsuboi while flying off the track at 172 mph 'Sophia was really close to Jehan, so when Jehan braked early she had no time to react. 'She hit Jehan's right-rear, and that spun her around straight into Lisboa, and she flew into the other car. I just hope she's OK.' The initial crash that sent Floersch into the barrier also led to damage that rendered her brakes useless as she hurtled towards the following right hand turn. Once at the turn she was catapulted into the air by a curb, that is designed to stop drivers cutting the corner and looking to gain an advantage. above are many camera angles, real time and slo mo Below, a single slow mo https://fox8.com/2018/11/19/17-year-old-sophia-floersch-survives-airborne-crash-at-macau-grand-prix/ https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-6406211/The-incredible-pictures-doctors-rush-172-MPH-crash-Sophia-Floersch.html
