SPRING TO LIFE APPROPRIATE NAME FOR ZEBEDEE COLT
SOLARIO RACING named its exciting 2yo Zebedee colt yesterday at Harper Lodge Farm and the democratically voted name was the rather appropriate Spring To Life. Why appropriate?

REVIEW OF THE WEEK: AMBER ONE TO WATCH
IN a quiet week for the stable, GOLDEN AMBER, not unfancied in this column to go close in a competitive 6f sprint on the second day of the turf season at Donny, finished the way of all each-way selections in 16+ runner-handicaps….5th!
