Hannah was there because Larkfleet Homes sponsored one of the races, which was won by Top Garry (starting price 8/1), ridden by Paige Fuller. She won by 10 lengths.
Point-to-point racing is a traditional rural event attracting people from the immediate locality and enthusiasts from further afield. ‘Maiden’ races are for horses that have not previously won at an event.
The Cottesmore race day is run entirely by volunteers and is financed by race entry fees, admissions to the race course and by sponsorship – so Larkfleet’s contribution helped to keep this thriving tradition alive.
The Cottesmore is the season opener at Garthorpe point-to-point. We sponsored the final race of the day – the open maiden race. There were lots of unraced horses in this 32-horse line up, ranging considerably in age, so to win by such a margin was a great achievement for horse and jockey.
Pictured receiving the trophy from Hannah (left) is Pauline Harkin, the trainer, and with her are the other members of the Garland, Harkin and Milner Partnership.
The Larkfleet team would just like to say thanks to Garthorpe for having us and well done to all who took part in the racing, which provided everyone with an exciting day’s entertainment.
