First turf runners tomorrow
Saturday, April 1, 2017
LONGSIDE and SANDY COVE will hopefully be our first runners of the new turf season at Doncaster tomorrow providing they don't get any heavy showers there this afternoon. The 2 horses have very similar profiles as they are bred on similar lines and like the same conditions and trip. SANDY COVE has the edge on fitness as he has run recently on the all weather but LONGSIDE has the better draw. It is a race confined to Amateur riders so James Smith, who works in the yard, will ride SANDY COVE and Alex Ferguson, who caught the eye at Cheltenham, rides LONGSIDE. We hope both riders will enjoy it and that everyone comes back in one piece.
