Beverley Races- family fun day

The going being good to soft resulted in a fair few non runners (8 to be exact). The Bark de Triomphe, a race for dogs owned by jockeys with two heats the first 3 dogs from each went to the final was a great success. Danielle Mooney's dog, Beau, was the winner.

In the second race Bridey's Lettuce was ridden clear followed closely by Cool Music, Moon Over Rio and Heaven Scent. The whole race was controlled by Bridey's Lettuce no others managed to get close. With two furlongs to go headway was made by Petrify who had previously dwelt, Cool Music,  and Taste The Wine. Moon Over Rio and Heaven Scent both weakened. In the final furlong Bridey's Lettuce drifted left whilst Cool Music kept on at the same pace and Petrify carried on well, Bridey's Lettuce was unstoppable going on to win by six lengths, second was Cool Music by 1/2 length, third was Petrify. This race was a selling handicap and the winner was auctioned off, bought by Adam Pogson for £7.5K.

The 3:45 race had Windforpower misbehaving in the parade ring having Ben Robinson off and running free down to the start before he was caught and put in the stalls. Tarboosh was quick away along with Robben Rainbow, tracked by the leader Foxy Boy. With two furlongs out Foxy Boy and Kody Ridge was ridden along, Musharrif moved up the field. There was challenge at one furlong out to Foxy Boy who was eventually headed by Windforpower and Tarboosh. Unfortunately Windforpower kept on at the same pace with nothing else to give but Tarboosh just quickened away eventually winning by 3 1/3 lengths, second Windforpower by 3/4 to Foxy Boy for third.
