A DRUG user who took �120-worth of cocaine to the Newmarket races, intending to share it with friends, has been ordered to carry out 130 hours of unpaid work.
Tony Wilson, 29, of Beaconsfield Road, Camden Town, was also given a two-month curfew order, keeping him indoors every night between 9pm and 7am.

The court heard how the class A drug - divided into 13 wraps - was discovered when Wilson was searched at the race course. He said the cash in his pocket was his winnings.
