KEVIN LANDS AYR FEATURE ON FULLANDBY


FullandbyA healthy crowd enjoyed some great racing at Ayr on Monday highlighted by a win for Fullandby in the feature event - the Giles Insurance 40th Anniversary Heritage Handicap.

Ridden by Kevin Darley for trainer Tim Etherington, the five year old gelding was sent off 5/1 second favourite and travelled well to lead inside the final furlong and win by. three quarters of a length with Gallery Girl (20/1) back in second place.

One of the biggest cheers of the day was reserved for Merchant Of Dubai (11/4 fav) winner of the opening race, the EBF Join WBX.Com Maiden Stakes. Ridden by champion jockey Jamie Spencer the horse is owned by a 19 strong syndicate Highland Racing and several of the owners are from Ayrshire. Merchant of Dubai responded to a power packed Spencer ride to win by a neck from Atabaas Pride (3/1).

Spencer also rode River Thames to win the Giles Insurance Corporate Handicap at odds of 6/1 and another leading rider Seb Sanders won the Giles Insurance Premier Handicap on Artless (13/8 fav).

Jockey PJ McDonald earned plaudits back in April for his ride on Hot Weld, winner of the Coral Scottish Grand National. On Monday he steered Nota Liberata (9/1) home for trainer George Moore in the Join WBX. Com Handicap to record his seventh flat win of the season.

Other winners were Equuleus Pictor (12/1) for trainer John Spearing and jockey Franny Norton in the Giles Insurance Handicap over six furlongs and Northern Dare (11/4 fav) for Dandy Nicholls and Silvestre De Sousa in the Betrescue antepostmag.com Handicap.
