SHANE Chalmers is a brave man. To take charge of Royal Ascot in York with the first race under starter's orders in four months' time is not a task for the faint hearted.
It is his role to ensure York rises to the challenge, by staging an ambitious programme of events without causing traffic chaos.
Few of those organising London's Olympic bid would fancy swapping with Shane. We urge the city to rally round him to make this difficult job as easy and enjoyable as possible.
