Serena Brotherton wins by a head at Ayr

The AM Media Group Handicap opened the evening card at Ayr on Friday 22nd June with 14 going to post for this race over 1m 2f.

Having got off the mark for the season less than 24 hours before at Ripon, Serena Brotherton enjoyed another success after biding her time aboard THORNTOUN CARE for Iain Jardine and making steady headway from 2f out to lead inside the final furlong.

Despite a determined challenge from Carol Bartley aboard last year’s winner HAYMARKET, the partnership held on by a head in a photo finish, with Catherine Walton a short head third.
