Hooky's Andy well placed

IT MIGHT come in handy that Andy Martin lives less than a good gallop from the Dunthrop course as he could be in for a busy day, in and out of the saddle, at Sunday's Farmers Bloodhounds meeting.

The Hook Norton farrier turned trainer and rider has several horses entered under his own name as well as a number of rides booked for other trainers.

Fours Are Wild and Mustang Sally are entered in the Confined, Lady Baronette in the Confined Maiden, while I'm Dreaming could line up in the Restricted.

On top of that, Martin has been booked to ride Mr Smudge in the Men's Open for Chipping Norton handler Fran Marriott, Abitofahike for Shutford trainer Rosemary Gasson in the Open Maiden and stablemate Freedom Fighter, second at Mollington last week, in the Members Race.

Gemma Hutchinson enjoyed a successful partnership aboard Free last term and the pair return to defend the Ladies Open title.

The first race at Dunthrop, also known as Hey-throp, near Chipping Norton, is at 11.30am. For more details contact Talking Point on 09068 446061.
