Race Track Expansion
As a means of funding the reserve, and serve racing enthusisiasts, the reserve has added a racetrack extension, which serves as the site of the yearly Brobdingnag Prix. The extension is clearly visible from Gardyloo, and backed by a high, spring-loaded, enchanted retaining wall, which protects the adjacent Yarborough from crashes.
Brobdingnag is a fictional land, which is occupied by giants, in Jonathan Swift's 1726 satirical novel Gulliver's Travels. The story's main character, Lemuel Gulliver, visits the land after the ship on which he is travelling is blown off course. As a result, he becomes separated from a party exploring the unknown land. In the second preface to the book, in 1727, Gulliver laments that the publisher misspelled the land's name, which Gulliver asserts is actually called Brobdingrag. The adjective "Brobdingnagian" has come to describe anything of colossal size.
