Next Meeting - Tuesday 27th May (Evening) - First Race: 6.40pm
Meeting - Saturday 10th May
Another exciting afternoon of jumps racing took place on the Saturday, when the feature race was the Tant Pis Conditional Jockeys Handicap Chase run over two miles. The race is named after one of the most prolifically successful race horses in the North and a regular winner at Hexham. Tant Pis was owned, trained and ridden by one of Hexham’s former stewards John Alder who also rode the horse in the Grand National. The race was won by Justwhateverulike at 9/2 followed by 25/1 shot Crofton Arch, with Made In France third at 11/2.
The winner of the 'Tant Pis' was ridden by Tom Messenger who also rode the first past the post in another feature race - The Fawdington Suzuki Handicap Chase. Tom was on board the 50/1 outsider Lethem Present with Northern Vic second at 8/1 and Festival King third at 16/1.
