Thank you for posting this guide. The Daily Post seems to be the only publication covering these races, and your work is comprehensive. Sad that the other papers have withered away but I’m glad to see the Post is on the story.
I haven’t seen a printed copy of the Weekly in years. The Post is the paper everybody grabs.
