REPORT:
A good crowd attended the Exeter Race Meeting on the 2nd July
2005, one of the main highlights being Pierre Deymonaz riding
his 100th winner on DANJANI in the MIDNITE DREAM CLASSIFIED
STAKES, a race sponsored by well known arab racehorse trainer
Carol Legg who was celebrating her birthday at Exeter.
The opening race went the way of the well bred favourite DANSEUR
MONDAIN (FR) who won very easily for owner H H Sheik Hamdan
Bin R Al Maktoum, trained by Mrs Gill Duffield and ridden by
stylish Phil Collington.
MELLWAY GOLD CHARM returned to form providing young jockey
Mr Bryan Adams with a deserved first success when winning the
Town & Country Farms Novice Rider Stakes at 2.30. Trained,
owned and bred by Mrs Jackie Hutchings, Mellway Gold Charm
won a thrilling finish to the delight of her connections (see
attached photograph). Anther popular winner was SPYROS, the
first leg of a double for jockey David Turner, who is setting
a hot pace at the top of the leading jockeys table with Phil
Collington and reigning champion Simon Walker, both only one
winner behind at the end of the days racing. SPYROS, trained
by Tony Brunton for owners Mrs M Calvert (also the breeder)
and Mrs G Moore, ran out a very easy winner of the Jebel Ali
(Series Qualifier) Handicap at 3.30.
The Champion Anglo L'ESCALOU, continued his winning ways in
the 4.00 race, The Penn Challenge Handicap Stakes, generously
sponsored by Stuart Shefras, winning his 11th race from 14
starts, owned and trained by Bill Smith and ridden by Simon
Walker. This superb bay gelding gave upwards of two stones
to his three rivals to record a game win over runner-up PRIDE
OF JAMES.
The closing race of the afternoon gave David Turner his second
success of the day on CS PATRIARCH, a five year old who showed
he is still on the upgrade by defeating two other top class
performers in DJELDOR DE BOZOULS (FR) and SHAHNGALI.
