AYR'S NEW YEAR FIXTURE LOOKING GOOD

Tuesday January 1, 2008
AYR'S FIRST FOOT MEETING LOOKING GOOD
AYR Racecourse's traditional First Foot Raceday on Wednesday January 2 should provide punters with the chance to see some good competitive racing.
Highlight of the seven race card is the Happy New Year From Ayr Handicap Chase over two miles four furlongs at 2.45 pm where Lucinda Russell's Master Sebastian attempts to win the race for the third year running with Peter Buchanan in the saddle.
But the hat trick seeker won't have it all his own way with Howard Johnson's Akilak, Lampion Du Bost owned by former Rangers players Billy Dodds and Craig Moore and trained by Jim Goldie and Lenny Lungo's Villon all in with chances.
Another interesting contest is EBF Robert Dunn Plant Hire Novices Hurdle over two miles four furlongs at 1.40 pm with 16 runners going to post including three from the Nicky Richards yard including recent course winner Viking Rebel ridden by Tony Dobbin. Look too for a big run from Howard Johnson's Calin Royal with Denis O'Regan in the plate.
Clerk of the Course Katherine Self said last night : "The going is currently heavy but there are no problems expected with the course and no inspections planned."
Bars and restaurants open at 11.00 am, the first race is at 12.40 pm with the final race under starter's orders at 3.40 pm.
The first meeting of the New Year in Scotland will have a great party atmosphere and there will be a disco starting immediately after racing and lasting for three hours. For more information go online at www.ayr-racecourse.co.uk or call 0870-8505666.
