We were all very upset
@GGFracing
when Pat Smullen died last week. The eulogies were amazing for a very fine man indeed. Today we are running the 8th race for Pat over a mile and a half on the turf, the distance and surface he excelled on when winning on Harzand.
Thanks to our Trainers Jockeys and Backstretch Folk for their infinite patience and support during these difficult times, I am looking forward to resuming our race meet on Thursday 14 May. We will be working to strict protocols so please bear with us
@GGFracing

We are sorry we couldn’t get live racing going these last few days
