Ashey Scurry
It was an exciting day of racing at the Ashey Scurry on March 26th – despite a dramatic fall by rider Steph Davies , who had to be ferried to hospital by ambulance . To the relief of all , she was later released with concussion .
There was some excellent racing on the old racecourse beneath the Downs on West Ashey Farm , and among the prizewinners were Phoebe Nicholls-Taylor on ‘ Thistledown Hope & Glory ’, Lauren Wheeler on ‘ Coolin Magpie ’ , and Alan Stay on ‘ Darcy ’. The Ashey Scurry ( Seniors ) was won on ‘ Signs of Love ’ by Hunt Master and Medina College Head Karen Begley , with Sophy Carter on ‘ Clive ’ taking the Junior Title . The Biles & Co Grand National over the bigger fences was won by Pandora Bailey on ‘ Offshore Account ’ and Haddon Frost on ‘ Paul ’ won the David Biles Memorial ‘ Commentators ’ Cup ’.
