A huge thank you to everyone who supported the Welford Park Cricket Club Race Night on Saturday. There were around 70 attendees, who all seemed to appreciate the good food and the fun racing on the big screen. I would also like to thank everyone who contributed to the catering and to the Social Club for running a fantastic bar for us. Many thanks to everyone who became an owner of a horse or its jockey and, of course, to everyone who placed a bid in the final auction race of the night which raised £295. Finally, I would like to thank JSC Communications for their continued sponsorship of this evening together with the individual race sponsors listed below.

The evening started off with the James Barrett Stable again in fine form, winning the opening race of the night, making it 6 winners in a row over the last two race nights. He eventually ended up with 2 winners from his 5 horses but Upendra Deshpande also had two winners from his 3 horses running to end up as joint top owners. Alex Hutchinson ended up as top Jockey with 3 winners from his 4 rides. The results were as follows:-

The money raised will help to pay for essential new sight screens for the Club as the old ones have not survived another winter.

We hope to run a Race Night again in March 2018 and look forward to you joining us then.

Many thanks again to everyone who has supported our fund raising.
