Appearance:
This character would be dressed in a suit and tie with a smart shoes and a white shirt. They also would have a walking stick that becomes the racetrack barrier and they would be smoking a cigarette.

Favourite Song:
"Gold finger" by Shirley Bassey in 1964. This is their song as it talks about a very strong and dangerous man just like the course itself. Also they are very swerve and classy like James Bond.

Based On:

The character of the Course is also involved in an ensemble piece where she is also portrayed as Woman 3 (Janet) and Jockey 6.


  • Woman 3 is called Janet and she is a teenager who has gone to the Derby with some friends and is their for a good time. Her favourite song is "She la la la lee" which was written by Small Faces in 1966. The song is about a girl who goes out with a boy to have a fun night out.



  • Jockey 6 is called GĂ©rard Dubroeucq and he is a french horse rider in the Derby. his favourite song is "la mer" which was written in 1968 by Charles Trenet. It is his favourite song as he is feeling patriotic as he has had to travel across the sea to be apart of the Epsom Derby.
