Inaugural running of Carlisle’s ladies race eagerly awaited

22-07-2010

Watch out this weekend girls!  The weekend ahead is a busy one for amateurs with the gentlemen looking forward to Salisbury’s historic Carnarvon Cup on Saturday whilst the ladies travel to Ascot for their historic fixture there which is nowadays generously sponsored by Longines.

The following day Carlisle then welcomes the inaugural running of The Stobart Group Lady Riders’ Northern Derby Bowl where a Pequignet watch will be presented to the winning lady rider and the winning owner receiving a perpetual trophy – the Stobart Ladies Northern Derby Bowl.  The race is eagerly awaited having been welcomed as our second most valuable race in the amateur lady riders’ calendar after York’s Queen Mother’s Cup.
