“Faugh-A-Ballagh”

THE first five horses home were disqualified for taking the wrong course in an amateur riders’ race at Towcester yesterday and the £2,555 prize was awarded to the sixth horse to finish.

Young Devereaux can make up for lost time with victory in the £120,000 (€183,000) Victor Chandler Chase over two miles at Ascot tomorrow.

Bryan Smart’s move to Hambleton, near Thirsk, from Lambourn in early November is really paying dividends.
