Penny Richardson

    Last-drawn Tim Stockdale produced a crowd-pleasing round on Fresh Direct Corlato, but one extra stride to the last left him in second place.

    “I am very pleased because Katchina has little experience,” said Patrice.

    Mark Armstrong had earlier taken the speed horse of the year title with a stirring performance on Rex. They reduced the standard set by Ellen Whitaker and Cortaflex Kanselier by a fraction.
