PLAY SMARTER

ROOSTER GOGBURN was firmly back on the up when making all in good style at Market Rasen in July and, if left alone in front once more, he’ll be a hard nut to crack with the scope for better still. The consistent Tikkinthebox is likely to be thereabouts, while Casa Tall is one to be interested in back from a break with a tongue strap fitted.

David Luscombe

David was born in lpplepen, near Newton Abbot and brought up where he lived and farmed throughout his life there, in not a particularly horsey family, but one that always enjoyed racing, and many other sports too! Indeed, it was racing, and of course farming, which brought David and myself together 36 yrs ago. We married in 1989, and it was not long after that, we got involved with the Martin Pipe racing Club, which we hold many fond memories off, with several years of fun and enjoyment, until the club came to an end! After that, we were always looking for somewhere to be involved again, and it was one Saturday morning, when we called into Martin Hill, who trained just a couple of miles away from us, that once again we were involved in a club/syndicate. In that syndicate was a horse called Monda, who we fell In love with, purchased and started breeding racehorses of our own, and although David was happier watching on, and letting me deal with the day to day management and care of the horses, I know how proud he was of those horses! Meanwhile, David had a half share with Martin in Bold Perk, who gave us, and especially David very much enjoyment. How thrilled he was when dear Perky won a race. I remember Martin saying “never seen David run so fast as he did that day to greet Perky in the winners enclosure”. It gave David and I great pleasure in seeing our own horses run, and especially on the rare occasion we had a runner at our favourite local track, Newton Abbot, and I feel it is a very fitting tribute to sponsor a race here today in his memory, and I’m sure he will be looking over the racecourse and wishing everyone a successful day!
