It is a pleasure to return to Stratford Racecourse to sponsor a race in celebration of my sixtieth birthday, ten years after first doing so for my fiftieth. That day remains a cherished memory, and I am delighted to mark this milestone in similar fashion. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my mother for making this occasion possible.
This year has brought several personal highlights, including attending my fortieth Cheltenham Festival and experiencing the winners’ enclosure at Newbury for the first time — a moment I will not soon forget.
I am fortunate to be sharing today with my two sons and close friends, whose presence makes the occasion all the more special. My thanks go to Stratford Racecourse for their continued hospitality, and a special acknowledgement to Wendy for her outstanding organisation and support.
Wishing all participants and guests a successful and enjoyable day at the races.

RACE SUMMARY:
YORGUNNABEPLUCKY proved a different model sent chasing when scoring at Ffos Las in early summer and can make light of a 2lb rise here.
