Martingale Chase
Martingale Chase
Looking along this fairly new cul-de-sac towards the junction with the A4; it is only permitted to turn left onto this busy road.

'Martingale' is a word of various meanings, among them: a betting system which guarantees a profit for a gambler of inexhaustible wealth if there no limit on stake size; and a piece of tack which limits how far a horse may raise its head. As the road is not far from Newbury racecourse, the latter meaning is probably the origin of its name.
