THE LOOKERS AUDI GLASGOW/HAMILTON BOTHWELL CASTLE FILLIES’ HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 5)
RACE DESCRIPTION
This is a one mile handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards fillies’ and mares’, which have been rated from 51 to 70. To qualify for a handicap rating horses must have run at least three times in a Flat race in Britain, or have run in no more than two Flat races run in Britain and won at least one of them.
