| SURREY UNION MEET AT PEPER HAROW THE LAST SOUTH EAST AREA MEET OF 2017 |
The final
meeting in the South-east area was supplied by the surrey Union Hunt meet at
Peper Harow's unique twisting track that gave way to six quality races.
My first trip to the course
that caused me some confusion with its layout to start, but by the end of the
meet won me over with its degree of difficulty not found on may other pointing
tracks.
The first race for novice and
veteran riders saw a local winner with Strollawaynow under Benedict Saw take
the race.
We caught up to chat with
Owner/trainer Mr A Wates after the race to talk about this horse
reinventing himself at 10 years of age.

The next, a Restricted, and it was not long before the leading
lady Gina Andrews took to the stage with a win on Nigel Padfields Knockedaboutloaded.
As
always, we had a word with Gina about the 9 year old winner for a race series
sponsored by Subaru throughout the season.
