SUNDAY 6TH APRIL 2025
WELCOME
Welcome to Plumpton – Sussex Day
Welcome to Plumpton’s very own Sussex Day and we are excited to see you all on what is set to be a tremendous day.
We are proud to be part of the Sussex community, and this day aims to showcase many of the things that makes the county so great with a whole host of activities, demonstrations, and entertainment from the local area to accompany an exciting six-race card.
I would like to thank our Partners; BetGoodwin and Southern Cranes and Access Ltd for their tremendous support throughout the 2024/25 Season, along with today’s sponsors, Henner’s Vineyard, Weatherbys, Crystal Services, Goodoaks Homecare and Friends and Family of Derek Ogden. We wish you all have a tremendous day.
We have a cracking card for punters to get their teeth into today, with 39 runners declared across 6 races worth over £52,000 of prize money. Our feature on the track today is The Henner’s Vineyard Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Steeple Chase. This race looks to be very competitive with a select field of 4 and we wish all the owners, trainers and horses the very best of luck across the card.
To add to the excitement, we are adding an extra race this year - our charity mascot race! Watch as some of the finest local charity mascots go head-to-head to be crowned Champion of Plumpton.
Featuring the counties finest produce, from artisanal food and drink to handmade crafts. With Morris Dancers, Richie & Dan providing some amazing tunes in our Paddock Bar, and some weird and wonderful animals from the Wildlife Displays team to get up close and personal with, it’s a day to celebrate!
Our next fixture is the highly anticipated Easter Festival, taking place on Sunday, April 20th, and Monday, April 21st. Booking now will ensure you secure the best ticket prices, as this is one of the most popular racing weekends of the year. Both tickets and hospitality options are always in high demand, so early reservations are highly recommended. Secure your place by visiting www.plumptonracecourse.co.uk

WALKS LIKE THE MAN won over C&D in February but was unable to follow up at Sandown next time, having been sent off as favourite. The seven-year-old is expected to bounce back eased in class, although recent Hereford scorer The Dream Goes On switches her attentions to fences for the first time and may well provide strong resistance. Brother Boris can chase the pair home.

Eliza Dolittle hasn’t been able to build on December’s C&D triumph, but she is just 1lb above that winning mark now and must be respected in a race of this nature. A chance can be taken on MELLERAY HILL, who might not have shown a great deal in novice/maiden company but it would come as no surprise were she to step forward now sent handicapping. Time For Tea is also noted.
totewin: Melleray Hill
toteeachway: Eliza Dolittle
3 Anthony Honeyball and Rex Dingle have been amongst the winners lately and Public Enemy, who shaped with promise on his UK/stable debut in February, must feature prominently in calculations. Wild Goose has shown ability in a couple of bumpers but it is GOD OF FIRE who shades preference. Officially rated 85 on the level, he will be difficult to beat if taking to this new discipline. He’s a half-brother to a hurdles winner.
totewin: God Of Fire
toteeachway: Public Enemy
4 DESPEREAUX found only a subsequent winner too strong over C&D last month and compensation could be on the cards. A 3lb higher mark looks fair for Jane Williams’ six-year-old and he can confirm his superiority over the reopposing third Warranty. The Authorized gelding isn’t taken lightly on 4lb better terms with the selection, while Shared isn’t easily dismissed in this heat either.
totewin: Despereaux
toteeachway: Warranty
Having finished second at Sedgefield on Thursday, Tara Iti must enter calculations racing off an unchanged mark. However, those exertions may have left their mark and preference is for ARENAS DEL TIEMPO. The daughter of Footstepsinthesand offered plenty of encouragement when runner-up at Fakenham last month and she’s open to improvement on just her fifth appearance in this sphere. Hardy Buck is the pick of the remainder.
totewin: Arenas Del Tiempo
toteeachway: Tara Iti
There was plenty of encouragement to be taken from AJ’S DIAMOND’s debut second at Warwick 44 days ago and she sets a good standard. Nicky Henderson has a fine record with his bumper horses at this venue (5-13), so Rules debutant Girlfromtheglen merits respect. Jack N Jones is well bred and the six-year-old warrants a check in the market for a shrewd yard.

DESPEREAUX would have likely landed his third win of the season had it not been for a final flight blunder over C&D last month. He can make amends and confirm his superiority over Warranty, who should run well receiving a pull at the weights. Jubilant is feared if first-time cheekpieces have a positive impact.
