RACE CONDITIONS

Husband, Father, Grandfather and Great Grandfather.

Richard had a lifelong love of horse racing, and as well as being a regular at Great Yarmouth and Newmarket racecourses, he visited courses all over the country, rarely missing the opportunity for a flutter.

He is greatly missed by all his family and friends.

FOURTH RACE 4.10

ONE MILE ABOUT TWO FURLONGS (10F ABT 23YDS) FOR THREE YRS OLD AND UPWARDS

THE RICHARD DELF MEMORIAL HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 5)

Total prize fund £8400 x Owners Prize Money. 1st £3584, 2nd £1792, 3rd £896, 4th £448. (Penalty Value £4536) SS

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): Amy Murphy (13 wins from 91 runners, 14%) runs GEORGE MORLAND TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): Charlie Johnston (9 wins from 81 runners, 11%) runs TIMEWAVE WEIGHTWATCHER: FLOWER OF THUNDER won off a handicap mark of 68, her rating is now down 8lb to 60. LONGEST TRAVELLER: TIMEWAVE trained by Charlie Johnston, Middleham, 219 miles.

STAGE SHOW rates the pick at these weights on the back of his good recent Sandown third so gets the nod in an open-looking contest. Flower of Thunder has an excellent record here so is feared most, although both Perfect Gentleman and George Morland can’t be discounted either.
