The concluding race on this evening’s card, the Crowne Plaza Race & Stay Package Maiden was won by the Joanna Morgan trained Livaleo in the hands of Wayne Lordan.

Winning trainer Morgan said afterwards: “I’m delighted he won, Fiona McStay the owner was hoping he’d win before the foal sales as she was selling his full brother. Fiona bred him and she has all the family.”

“It’s so frustrating that this place is closed after tomorrow evening until February as I’ve loads of fit horses who couldn’t get into races, and now that they are this place is finished for three months, it’s ridiculous.”
