Happy 80th Birthday – Viv Scammell

Viv, known as ‘Scam’ by all his friends, recently celebrated his 80th birthday. Despite his inappropriate nickname, he is one of the most honest and genuine people you could meet.

Scam has lived all his life in nearby Coombe Bissett, and since his retirement, has regularly enjoyed an afternoon at the races. He would be the first to admit that he is no expert on the form book or paddock inspection, but Scam does enjoy a flutter and often backs horses trained by Richard Hannon or Ralph Beckett. His visits to the track are as much about meeting up with old and new friends. In his early days, Scam enjoyed the odd refreshment with Richard Hannon Snr, and was once advised by the great man to make an investment on Mon Fils (which had previously won at Salisbury) for the 2000 Guineas in 1973. The horse won at 50-1. Scam was also on the mark when the Hannon trained Anna Nerium won the Dick Poole Stakes in 2017 at odds of 40-1. Scam is celebrating his landmark birthday with friends today, and we hope that he manages to find a winner or two.

Stewards Note:

VEGAS JACK: Following its run on 16/6/2023 it was reported that the horse jumped awkwardly from the stalls

COMMISSION: Following its run on 9/6/2023 it was reported that the horse ran too freely to post.

Betting Forecast: 7-2 Perfect Gentleman (IRE), 4-1 Vegas Jack (GB), Racing Demon (GB), 8-1 Goodwood Vision (GB), 9-1 Guiteau (IRE), 10-1 Fariba (IRE), 16-1 Lunar Landscape (GB), 22-1 Commission (GB)

Race Summary: PERFECT GENTLEMAN is generally progressive and stayed on nicely to finish second at Yarmouth last time, so he’s fancied to get back to winning ways. Vegas Jack is in good form and could pose the main threat, although

Goodwood Vision is a likely improver on handicap debut
