BHRC RHYDS STUD 2YO FUTURITY
With just the Final Sustaining Fee due on 1st August for the 2016 Series, entries have held up well for the Rhyds Stud 2YO Futurity.
16 colts remain including RHYDS IDEAL, winner of the NWHOA 2YO at Tir Prince in June and RHYDS DECOY, recent winner of the Ceredigion Dragonheart 2YO.
The fillies division also has 16 contenders remaining eligible, including RHYDS MYSTIQUE who has won both her starts in 2016 first at Tir Prince (NWHOA 2YO Fillies) and second at Ceredigion, and BOOS FURY who was a close and convincing second in the NWHOA 2YO in June.
Quite a few entries are still to have their debut but with the Breeders Crown and the Vincent Delaney Memorial races approaching, the fields will soon start to hot up.
The huge increase in entries for the 2016 series equates to a vast increase in prize money also. The Futurity stakes have topped £12,000 to date, with circa £6500 in the colts purse and £5800 in the fillies.
Options are being considered by the Tir Prince management for staging of heats should they be required.

BHRC OAKWOOD STUD 3YO DERBY
Entries are also holding for the Oakwood Stud 3YO Derby.
11 colts/geldings remain eligible. Amongst them are; MIRACULOUS, the top 2YO from 2015 and Musselburgh 3YO winner in 2016, JACKS RED the 2015 Futurity winner and Corbiewood 3YO Derby winner in 2016, plus the Jones’ family’s new charge ROCKIN MAMBO who impressed on his first outing winning at Monmouth but was bettered recently at Ceredigion by PARTY AT THE SPA.
The fillies division has 9 left in the field – JESSIES CONQUEST the stand out filly has notched up 4 wins so far in 2016 including an impressive 15L clear win at Ceredigion. PORCELAIN SEELSTER, winner of the Corbiewood 3YO Derby in June, could be a danger though as the owners and trainers are on fire at present.
The NWHOA 3YO Races at Tir Prince on Saturday 16th July will be a great preview!
The boost to entries has resulted in a series purse of over £7500. Currently circa £3900 in the colts and £3600 in the fillies division.
Final Sustaining Fees (£50) are due by 1st August 2016
