Runners Today . . .
We have three runners this afternoon. ROYAL ACQUISITION and SIR PEDRO take each other on in the 7.35pm, 5f Handicap at Lingfield Park on the turf. SIR PEDRO runs off the back of his win at Lingfield a week and a half ago. It was a very easy assignment for him that day in selling company and he won that event by some margin. This race today will of course be tougher for him, however he liked the track last time and we hope he will run well again today . . . ROYAL ACQUISITION is very lightly tried on the grass. Each time he has raced on it he has not made any sort of mark, however they were on quite undulating tracks. Lingfield’s more even surface should suit him and he is very speedy for the straight five furlongs there this evening . . . We then have SPEED HAWK making the very short journey up to the July Course in Newmarket. He will race in the 4.40pm, Class 2, 5f three-year-old only handicap. He ran a very good race on début last month, coming second to a highly rated horse on that occasion. He want to Chester last week with a very bad draw, he broke slowly and the race was all but over for him the moment the stalls opened. We will put a line through that and hope today he can give a good account of himself back on a straight track. He has Silvestre De Sousa in the saddle for Mr Khalifa Dasmal . . .
