Today’s racing is the final card here at Ayr before the 3-day Gold Cup meeting next month and plenty of owners and trainers will be looking to get on the scoresheet ahead of the even tougher competition to come in September. Jackton based Linda Perratt’s team is usually doing very well at this stage of the season and Galston’s Mike Smith and Carrutherstown handler Iain Jardine are others who send plenty of horses to take advantage of the excellent turf conditions here in South Ayrshire.
