This from today’s racecard from Fontwell Park.
It’s a nice little racecourse in West Sussex, if you have nothing to do one Monday in the winter. I once saw Beech Road romp home there a month before he went on to win the Champion Hurdle, but anyway, I digress.
The point is, what is improverished Fulham doing chucking around seven grand or so on sponsoring a horse race?
3.20 Fulham Fc ‘Europe Here We Come’ Beginners’ Chase
£6500 added, 5yo plus, 2m 6f, penalty £4381, 8 runners.
The result:
7 Tikram A P Mccoy 4-6 Fav
3 Go White Lightning M Batchelor 14-1
8 Under The Sand R Johnson 11-1
8 ran.
