07 April 2010 Preview: Tweseldown Racing Club - Tweseldown
by Robin Gray
Robin Gray previews the action at this weekend's Sandhurst Area fixture.
The Tweseldown Executive is confident that the final meeting of the season (on Sunday 11th April) will go ahead with some of the best Point-to-Point racing in the South of England, following the loss of two earlier fixtures at the course.
Highlight is the £1,000 Philip Scouller Memorial Mens Open, for which 16 Entries have been made. With a tempting first prize of £500 a double-figure field is anticipated and even the fourth to finish will take home £75. All this is profit since every runner on the day will have the Entry fee refunded.
The Fontwell Park-sponsored Ladies Open is equally notable since it forms part of the Racing Post Weekender / Brightwells Insurance Order of Excellence series. Thanks to the support of the newspaper and the equine insurance specialist, prize money is effectively doubled, with the winner taking home £340.
In addition, the Connolly's Red Mills Intermediate race has been salvaged from the abandoned March meeting. Winners in this series are qualified for the Final, sponsored by the popular horse feed company, at Cheltenham on 5th May 2010.
First of six races is at 2.00pm. Cars including the driver are charged at £15. Additional adults - £10 and under 16's are free. Post code is GU52 8DY. Tweseldown is on the B3013 south of Fleet, Bourley Road.
