The first race was the organizers members race for novice riders, won by a jockey on zero winners, and certainly no four faults, ex showjumper Tim Gredley on Silvergrove.

Making most of the runner,getting a breather into the nine year old Decade Player half way round Tabatha Worsley made the race look simple.
