Does the farmer watch the races on TV? Hallelujah , well done Doriana, I'm amazed that this took so long for someone to guess
******************SPOILER********************
While indulging in my passion for horse racing from the confines of my sofa I was struck, while watching one race, that the TV cameras as they followed the each race afforded a view of the entirety of a field adjacent to the track . The field was on a slope so every blade of grass could be seen and there were about 50 sheep in the field. I remember thinking how easy it would be for the farmer to simply pause the channel and count his sheep each time the horses passed by. This got me thinking that I might be able to shoehorn this idea into a puzzle.
Not sure it worked too well but thanks for sticking with it.
