THE ONLY WAY IS ESSEX & SUFFOLK HUNT RACING AT HIGHAM

THE ESSEX &SUFFOLK HUNT MEETING AT HIGAM

Six Races for the Easter Saturday Essex and Suffolk Hunt meeting at Higham. sixty entries with twenty eight of those declaring at a meting that had certainly bought a bumper crowd out to support and start the  Easter weekend celebrations.

The Turner family, Ed, Ben , Rosie and Mum, who are certainly well known around the East Angelia area, farmers by trade had a superb double the weekend previous at High Easter. On a high they came well handed at Higham,
The going good/good to firm had been given the best attention possible by the supporters of the course to get the ground watered and safe for racing. In fact a small reservoir had been emptied on the course and it showed after the first when on examination though the going remained true to is classification the horses were making a good,safe imprint into the ground.
The ground may have stopped the Turners bringing more of their horses in good form for but the few they did resulted in another double, four winners in seven days.
The first of the winners Sa Kaldoun ridden by Rosie Turner. in the mixed open.
