Alternative racecourse meanings
Yarmouth
Yarmouth is a oral disease that causes the jaw to drop when a short priced favourite is beaten at the races. Newton Abbot is an effective cure, but chasing is the most used cure for Yarmouth.

Musselburgh
Caused by a mind-controlling parasite that resides inside mussels at the wrong time of year. Sufferers typically feel the need to flex their 'mussels' by dropping bombs on various Betfair markets and adopt and anti-value approach. Thus the victim slowly runs out of money, before the parasite, now fully grown erupts from it's now-deceased human host and starts a career in pop music.
