In attendance Harley John, Tony Guest, Hellenic, Derek Boughton, Jim Squires, Tim Sage, Neil Astor and myself. Pictures will follow tomorrow.

More details will be published before each race day.
As well as the restricted final at the Stratford Hunter Chase evening, we are delighted that we have raised enough already to add Wincanton (25 February), Hexham (13 April) and can now add Leicester’s Dick Saunders on (12 February) to the racecourses we are sponsoring at. We…
