 Herefordshire
Horse Steps Into The Limelight
When one Herefordshire
horse disappoints, another steps into his place.
At least that's the way it
turned out in last weekend's big betting race at Haydock
Park.
Venetia Williams's The
Outlier was strongly fancied for the Red Square Vodka Gold
Cup but it wasn't to be his day. So in came Heltornic,
racing out of the handicap, from Michael Scudamore's yard at
Bromsash and ridden by the trainer's grandson Tom, to claim
a famous victory.a
It really was a
tremendous, heart-warming run in heavy going by the mare
which will now be put up substantially in the
ratings.
Compensation for the Kings
Caple stables came in the form of Mon Mome which ran on into
third place, taking the seven-year-old gelding's career
earnings past the £100,000 mark.
Both those Herefordshire
yards are likely to be represented at Hereford Racecourse's
next fixture on Monday.
The whole afternoon is
sponsored by the new betting exchange wbx.com, with the
feature race being the £12,000 handicap hurdle over
three and a quarter mile.
Add on a £10,000
handicap chase and a £9,000 novices' chase too, and
there should be decent horses in action.
In all, there are three
steeplechases and two hurdle races, with a bumper to round
off the day.
Congratulations to our
Clerk of the Course Gemma Charrington who has landed a new
position as clerk and operations manager at Windsor
Racecourse.
We'll all be sad to see
Gemma go when she starts her new job next month. She wasn't
looking to move but jumped at the opportunity of the
promotion when approached.
After training as a clerk
at Sedgefield Racecourse in County Durham, she joined
Hereford Racecourse in 2005, and going to Windsor gives her
the first chance to oversee a Flat racing track.
Before Gemma leaves,
she'll be in charge of the track here on both Monday 26
February and Monday 5 March. At the second fixture, there
will be a free “Festival Fever” Cheltenham preview
in the Winning Post pub before racing starts.
