NO YOKE CRACKED FOR THE INNUARGRAL HIGH EASTER RACING CLUB. SERIOUS RACING

Remarkable Man
Six quality races on fresh good, good to firm ground for the first of two meetings at the High Easter racecourse, usually set for one.

As most in the weighing room mentioned, people love sending horses, and riding horses at the venue that would put to the test a few professional courses dotted about the country.

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.

The Ladies open, another quality race saw the area specialists The Morgans take the race in a confident front running style.

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.
Well that was until the last fence anyway.
A little bit of taking the eye off the game, caused a blunder at the last

A little bit of taking the eye off the game, caused a blunder at the last, but enough was in hand to see the Kelly Morgan Trained chestnut take the spoils.
Listen to the trainer chat about the horse and where it goes to next.
