GOOD ENTRIES AT AYR FOR MIDWEEK CARD
AYR Racecourse's last August fixture of the year tomorrow (Wednesday) has attracted a healthy 74 entries on a card that carries almost £45,000 in prizemoney.
And for the first time this season horses will be running on the traditional flat track after the first batch of flat fixtures were run on the hurdles course in the back straight due to drainage work being carried out.
The fresh ground was given the thumbs up on Friday after local trainer Linda Perratt galloped two horses and as a result seven furlong and one mile two furlong races will be run for the first time this season.
The seven race card is sponsored by drinks company Wallaces Express and the first race is a competitive looking maiden - the Coke Zero Stakes over seven furlongs and Mark Johnston is double handed here with Terracos Do Pinhal (Paul Mulrennan) and Pearl Trader (Greg Fairley).
The feature race is the Morgans Spiced Rum Handicap Stakes over one mile two furlongs with £6855 going to the winner and recent course winners Neil's Legacy, trained by Linda Perratt and ridden by Greg Fairley and the Peter Monteith trained Hawkit (Dale Gibson) clash.
The next fixture after this week at Ayr is the totesport Gold Cup Festival which runs from Thursday September 20 until Saturday September 22 and there are great bargains to be had if booking tickets in advance.
There is 10 % discount for single bookings or 20 % for parties of 20 or more. Both offers are subject to bookings being made seven or more days in advance and you can book online at www.ayr-racecourse.co.uk or by calling 0870-8505666
