With plenty of entertainment after the bucks fizz was given out on entry and a good level of racing the night meeting was soon in full swing, the Jazz band kept spirits high.
The first race was an amateur riders race had Aldreth taking charge for most of it, with Zamoyski and Russian Royale chasing him, the rest of the field not far behind apart from Neuf Des Coeurs however when it got to six furlongs out it started making headway as the five year old couldn't get a clear run jockey, Mr B Lynn had to switch him. Approaching the final furlong Neuf Des Coeurs managed to keep his lead, going on to win by 1 3/4 lengths, the second horse Cliff Face (the favourite) got hindered and boxed the whole way round, the outcome could have been different if he had given more in the final furlong.
The Oops A Daisy Florists Selling Stake had a tiny field of four horses because two runners were pulled before the meeting. This race had Smiley Riley leading but over three furlong out two horses, Bismarck The Flyer and Forster Square who had been tracking the leader soon battled, however Amy Gardener rallied in the final furlong resulting in a finish of a neck between first and second. The winner, Bismarck The Flyer has been in good form over his past few runs usually being placed. Amy Gardener was just unlucky in the race and was continuously prominent.
Next update will be on the family day at Pontefract on Sunday.
