JUMPS RACING RETURNS

TODAY

Today sees the start of our winter jumps campaign which spans 14 meetings and culminates with the Coral Scottish Grand National Festival on April 21 and 22 next year. The Coral Raceday this afternoon has attracted a good number of runners and many of the leading stables in the north are represented including those of Nick Alexander, Lucinda Russell, Sandy Thomson, Nicky Richards, Martin Todhunter and Mike Smith. It is also interesting to note that David Pipe sends Sizing Pottsie on the 860 mile round trip from his Somerset yard to run in the Watch Racing Online Free With Coral Novices’ Hurdle. Brian Hughes who is setting a hot pace as he attempts to win his third Jockeys’ Championship in four seasons has a strong book of rides today and other top riders in action include Tom Scudamore, Sean Quinlan, Conor O’Farrell and Derek Fox. We have our last Saturday meeting of 2022 this weekend with the Marine & Lawn Hotels & Resorts Raceday which features seven competitive races with the feature contests the Marine & Lawn Handicap Chase over 2m 4f 110y and the Marine Troon Hotel & Spa Handicap Chase over two miles and half a furlong. In addition to quality racing on Saturday we also have live entertainment for three hours after the last race featuring top covers band The Kuil.
