Despite the name, gents are very much welcome at Ladies Day on Tuesday 27 June, and with the latest addition of another top prize, there’s even more reason to dress to impress next week!
Join us at Newton Abbot Racecourse this Saturday for the return of our Antiques and Collectables Fair for the last time before the short summer break.
Favourite Noahthirtytwored, trained at Epsom by Adam West, won for the second time over fences when beating top-weight Light N Strike to land Newton Abbot’s feature £25,000 Peninsula Finance PLC Handicap Chase.
Light N Strike, raised to a career-high rating of 143 following his win at Warwick last time and set to carry 12-0 here, made a bold effort to defy top weight, still holding a length lead at the final fence. However, an awkward jump and stumble on landing handed the advantage to Noahthirtytwored, who quickly went clear on the short run-in to give this season’s leading jockey Sean Bowen his 29th winner.
Despite having top weight of 12-0 to carry, Light N Strike can follow up his Warwick win last month and land Newton Abbot’s feature £25,000 Peninsula Finance PLC Handicap Chase for trainer Emma Lavelle
