JOHN SMITH'S RACEDAY BRINGS DOWN CURTAIN ON FLAT SEASON
AYR Racecourse stages its

Raceday features seven races. 
The main race on the card is The John Smith's Extra Smooth
Handicap over a mile at 2.30 pm with £12,000 in prize money.
Some decent sorts will contest this on ground described earlier in
the week as 'heavy'.
The John Smith's Extra Cold Handicap over one mile one furlong
at 1.55 pm will see Vicious Warrior, a winner on Friday try to land
a quick double under jockey Dean McKeown.
Linda Perratt will be keen to finish the flat season at her home

Mandarin Rocket and Oeuf A La Neige entered.
Bars and restaurants open at 10.55 am with the first race, The John

another comfortable win on Spinning (17/2) in the WBX. Com £25
