SUNDAY RACING AT ROYAL WINDSOR RACECOURSE

A morning downpour may have softened the ground, but the racing was not washed away by the Berkshire weather.
With the attendance not as packed as the previous day, Windsor still offered Severn quality contests.
The Hughes and Hannon Windsor roadshow back in attendance, most thought that the maiden two year old Al Nofor would come up trumps. But 8-1 shot Rosslare ridden by William Buick fresh from his previous days win at The Curragh in the Irish Derby continued the jockeys good fortune.

Marco Botti claimed the second race of the afternoon with Kassbaan.

Then the Hughes and Hannon team came up with the goods with Watdoiwanthatfor, which rang out very popular with the small crown in attendance.

Trainer Ralph Beckett made it a viable afternoon for his team, with two winners on the card Oisin Murphy fresh from his win on the first day of the three day festival and Richard Kingscote were the jockeys selected, 5-2 shot Argus winning the third race on the card and Hard to Handle at    11-4 winning the fifth.

 Not to be outdone, Buick again puts one in the Winners enclosure, with Secret Art.

The last race of the rather relaxed Sunday afternoon at Windsor went to little known trainer Miss S  West, and Well Painted ridden by a jockey well talked about at present Edward Greatrex.
