Linda, Julie and Alan at the Double

20 July 2011

Trainers Linda Perratt and Alan Berry were toasting doubles at Ayr Racecourse's Glasgow Fair Festival Family Raceday on Monday and young jockey Julie Burke booted him two winners in front of a crowd of almost 4000.

Linda's double returned whopping odds of 286/1 courtesy of Sabratha (6/1), ridden by Julie Burke in the Polyflor Handicap and 40/1 shot Abernethy, the mount of Duran Fentiman,  in the Hamilton Advertiser Handicap.

Berry's winners were Wicked Wilma (5/1) under Paddy Mathers,in the Rutherglen Reformer Handicap and Royal Blade (9/1) for Julie Burke in the Paisley Daily Express Handicap.

Easiest winner of the afternoon came in the last when an enterprising ride from Freddie Tylicki saw the Michael Dods trained Spinatrix surge 9 lengths clear of Hardrock Diamond (11/2) to land the East Kilbride News Handicap .

The feature race of the afternoon, the British Stallion Studs Supporting British Racing EBF Maiden Stakes was won by Fresa (10/1) for jockey Stevie Donohoe and trainer Sir Mark Prescott.

Ayr next races on Monday July 25 - the Summer Sizzler Raceday with the first race, the Bodog Backs Ayr United Maiden Stakes due off at 2.20pm.

Gates open at 12.30 pm and the last race on the card is 5.30pm.
