PLAY SMARTER

It’s hard to escape the claims ofZOUKSTER, who has really clicked since switched to handicaps and the way he went about his business at Goodwood last week suggests that there is more to come. He escapes a penalty for that and is confidently expected to complete the hat-trick. Senesi is also going the right way and she is next on the list ahead of Hat Toss. There wasn’t much between Taritino and Hello Arthur at Yarmouth recently and they are live each-way candidates, too.

PLAY SMARTER

TROOPER BISDEE has the look ofyet another Sir Mark Prescott-trained 3-y-o who will run up a sequence in staying handicaps. Indeed, he stll looked raw when making a successful reappearance at Yarmouth and this further step up in trip is pretty much guaranteed to be the catalyst for further improvement. Lady Rascal also shapes as though this stiffer test will be in her favour and she is second choice ahead of Fair Dinkum.

24th November 1934 – 8th September 2021 is race commemorate life of our dear

This race is to commemorate the life of our dear Dad, Grandad, Great Grandad, Brother and friend to many.

Leslie passed on the 8th Sept 2021 at the grand age of 86, he is very much missed. The family decided to name this race in his honour as dear Les loved sport, he was not a man of many possessions however loved his family, horse racing, Chelsea football club, a good pint of Guinness or nice glass of red wine!

Les spent his last few years near his family in Horley, his favourite race course was Sandown Park and many of us over the years have spent a good racing day here with him. We will spend the day remembering dear Les in one of his favourite places with a pint of Guinness and hopefully a winner or two.
