With the scorching weather making the carnival racenight hotter than Rio it resulted in smaller fields, with seven runners being withdrawn overall and it was clearly a night for the favourites with them winning three races and being placed in every race. The Beverley carnival racenight is fun for all, with lots to do and see from the samba girls, glitter face paint and stilt walkers and most importantly, not forgetting, the live brass band. It was a great day of racing for an early meeting in the go racing in Yorkshire festival.
In the 6:30 Cheerupmylove started to lead the race being closely followed by the favourite Queen Jo Jo, Ginvincible and Royal Destiny who veered right at the start of the race. At two furlongs out the lead changed to Ginvincible but when Queen Jo Jo was switched to give a clear run she made quick headway, the short falls came from Cheerupmylove and Angel Sarah who were easily overtaken. Over one furlong out Queen Jo Jo was very keen to go to the front challenging Gininvicible for the lead. Royal Destiny, Angel Sarah and Lady Rouda were ridden along whilst Cheerupmylove weakened, but Farol made excellent headway. Eventually Queen Jo Jo kept on gamely to win, second was Ginvincible who managed to keep on yet not just catching the winner. Third was the one paced Royal Destiny.
The fifth race was only going to go one way with Three Saints Bay absolutely dominating the field and having control over every horse in the race, whilst being chased closely by Roaring Forties and Proud Archi. However Jessinamillion dwelt at the back and Theodorico was held up in the rear. Three Saints Bay was unstoppable, easily quickening away and was pretty much unchallenged throughout the race going on to win by EIGHT lengths, second place was Proud Archi who despite being ridden along well and kept on nicely did not have a chance at competing for the win. Third place was the one paced Ingenuity.
