BOLLINGER SERIES 2010
11-09-2010
What a week with no less than 3 Bollinger races for amateur gentlemen riders! With Aragall playing up in the stalls and having to be withdrawn, Miles Seston could only watch his grip on the series slip away as the remaining field of 8 enjoyed Goodwood on Tuesday. Many congratulations to Jake Hodson winning on Switched On for Ian Williams and enjoying his first ever winning ride under Rules.
Entries and decs were so plentiful for Friday’s Chester meeting that the race was divided, giving us a welcome extra race for this years series to now total 9 races.
Another of our members, 16 year old Rob Williams, enjoyed his first ever winning ride under Rules in Chester’s second division on Mr Udagawa who is owned and trained by his grandfather Bernard Llewellyn. Congratulations to Rob!
The first division was won smoothly by 4-times series winner Simon Walker on tail swishing Clumber Park for trainer Richard Guest and the Clumber Park Syndicate. Simon’s second place in the second division on Dazeen earned him enough points to take him into the lead for this year’s finale which takes place at Ascot’s Autumn Festival meeting on Friday next 24th September. Miles Seston remains the only threat to Simon to take this year’s Bollinger Championship.
