HAVE A RACE IN YOUR VERY OWN NAME!!!

Did you know you could celebrate a special occasion with a race named after a friend or relative – for example

‘The John and Joan 40th Wedding Anniversary Maiden Stakes’ or ‘The John Smith 30th Birthday Handicap Stakes’.

It’s a great way to enjoy a day out with brilliant memories and you can combine it with hospitality in a private suite or a meal in the restaurant. You can come down to the Parade Ring and choose the ‘Best Turned Out’ horse and also present a prize to the winning owner before enjoying a post-race glass of bubbly. The package also includes photographs of your day and a mention in the racecard and on the big screen.

For more details, please email General Manager Kevin Hire –khire@arenaracingcompany.co.uk

LONGEST TRAVELLER: TOLLARD ROYAL trained by G Boughey, Newmarket, 271 miles.

MERLIN THE WIZARD confirmed the promise of his first 2 starts when opening his account at Kempton 18 days ago, sealing matters with a sharp turn of foot, and he can continue his progress to make a successful handicap debut. Tollard Royal could fare better having had a wind op and with the hood back on, so he is feared most ahead of Baileysgutfeeling

LONGEST TRAVELLER: SYMPATHISE trained by V Dartnall, Barnstaple, 178 miles.

SYMPATHISE is thriving under the tutelage of Victor Dartnall and a 5lb rise for her comfortable Chepstow success is unilkely to prevent this improving mare from completing a hat-trick In-form pair Griggy and Tranquility appeal as the pick of the remainder and can chase home the selection in that order

LONGEST TRAVELLER: RED ROYALIST trained by M Murphy & M Keady, Westoning, 228 miles.

LUSAKA produced his best effort for a while when scoring at Chepstow last time and, in a weak affair, he’s worth a chance to follow up Shibuya Song is likely to come on for her stable debut, so she’s regarded as a threat, while Red Royalist is worth considering on the back of a solid start for his current yard. 1-2-3: 1.LUSAKA (IRE) 2.SHIBUYA SONG 3.RED ROYALIST
