THE racing was as hot as the temperature at the Broadheath fixture under BHRC rules at Leominster last weekend, and the ladies were in the limelight.

Hard-working trainer Julie Price sent out a trio of winners from her Presteigne stable, all partnered by her son Julian, including the dazzling Nite'n'Gale who flew home in the mile-and-a-half Free For All.

Gladestry-based Kim Alman was also in high spirits, first sending out the distinctive I Am The Man to make the winner's circle, and then the enormously talented Mill Lane seared to glory in the Final. Both were sympathetically driven by Sarah Mould.

Next Fixtures: Championship Day at Amman Valley, Saturday 2pm, Lions Charity meeting, Sunday, 2 pm.
