With good to soft, good in places ground, and a whole day of changeable weather it was a challenging meeting. Unfortunately Ayr didn't have its usual ice cream van. ( it was a bit of a pain I couldn't get an ice cream, I always enjoy it)!!!!
In the 3 O'clock race it was a tight bunch of the field, and in the closing stages many horses had to chase. Character Onesie was prominent and the favourite Tadaany ridden by Daniel Tudhope led and in the end was driven clear by 3/4 of a length, Character Onesie in the end finished second. The horse in third Mustaqbal, a Michael Dods trained four year old after being slowly away took a while to get its stride, if he hadn't of continuously got boxed and got a clearer run maybe the race would have had a different outcome.
The last race on the card had a great ride by apprentice Ger O'Neill (read his interview) on Miningrocks for boss Declan Carroll, he led the whole way round not ever being contested by the rest of the field, in the final furlong it had him drifting a fair amount also him jinxing a bit. However Ger easily managed to keep Miningrocks on to win by 1 3/4 lengths. This takes Ger's win total to 5 out of 33 runs. The favourite Dea Dia that travelled from Ireland finished 3rd.
