Grandad’s Race – 8th Aug 2022
Fabulous when a plan comes together! We got a great draw on the stands rail and Jimmy did a prefect job of not letting the runner up get accross him and take his pitch but without doing any more than necessary. Foreseeable stayed on really well to take Grandad’s race by a length and a quarter.
Fantastic to win this race for a second time for the yard in Grandad’s memory.
All the family were at Ripon so a fun family evening was had by all!
Thanks to Louise Pollardand Angela Clarkfor the brilliant images.
