THE second Hereford & Borders HRC meeting under BHRC rules at Allensmore was certainly a memorable one for Glasbury-based owner, Nigel Lewis.

His home-bred fillies, Lucy Skydiamond and Dizzy Miss Lizzy put all their problems behind them to win a race each in the capable hands of Mark Pritchard, who trains them at Boughrood.

Lewis was particularly delighted to take home the ‘Young Will’ trophy for the highly competitive members race.

“It’s been a horrible winter with so many veterinary problems – including a broken pelvis and a damaged lens on an eye that needed what was basically a transplant,” explained the delighted owner. "A couple of months ago, I didn’t even think we’d get to the races, let alone have a double."

Shelwick farmer, Stuart Harris also put the troubles of the winter firmly behind him when his filly, Brywins Velvet got up in the dying strides to snatch a satisfying victory.

Next fixture: Allensmore, Sunday 2pm.

All races over 1 mile, 90 yards. Going: Good to firm.
