Guy Mitchell will become the first person with one eye to ride in a race in Britain today onboard Double Legend at Newbury Racecourse in division two of the RacingTV Amateur Riders’ Handicap at 5.30pm. Guy has had a lifelong ambition to race ride, originally applying for his license aged sixteen. Nearly 30 years on, Guy has taken part in a series of assessments at the British Racing School and been examined by a Harley Street specialist before being awarded his amateur license this year. Guy has been riding out every morning at Coombelands and we are delighted that he will be partnering with Double Legend who is owned by our Head Lad, Dean Angell.
We also run Banksy’s Art who was purchased at the Tattersalls Ascot Sale a couple of weeks ago in the first division of the RacingTV Amateur Riders’ Handicap under Danielle Smith who is a full time member of staff at Coombelands. For Sale – Banksy’s Art
Lightening Dance runs in the AJC Premier Fillies’ Handicap under Jim Crowley in the last race at Newbury Racecourse and Inhale runs in the British EBF Premier Fillies’ Handicap under Graham Lee.
