EBF RESTRICTED MAIDEN STAKES (CLASS 4) (FOR HORSES IN BANDS A, B, C AND D)(EBF QUALIFIER) (GBB RACE)

Race Description

This race is a six furlongs maiden stakes for two-year-olds. Maiden races provide a starting point for young horses that are yet to record a victory and most will be very lightly-raced or be making their racecourse debuts. Previous experience can count for a lot when searching for the winner but well-bred or precocious juveniles are more than capable of landing the prize at the first time of asking.
