THE BIGGEST CROWD FOR SIX YEARS went to Salisbury Races on Sunday 1st May

Posted May 4th 2005

With just short of 9,000 adults and an estimated 1,200 children, the crowd was the biggest since the same May meeting in 1999.

Clerk of the Course, Jeremy Martin, was very pleased with the bumper day - 'It really was a terrific crowd, and we had a great atmosphere as usual. The weather played a big part, as it really was a lovely day'.

The highlight of the day was the £20,000 'betfair.com Handicap Stakes' which was screened live on Channel 4 Racing. The race proved to be a dead-heat between Goodricke (11-1) and Resplendent Glory (3-1JF), the first dead-heat Salisbury has had for over 3 years.

Salisbury has another Family Fun Day on Sunday 12th June.
