A lovely Autumn raceday welcomed a good turnout of racegoers, who had arrived to witness the final day of the flat turf season, rounding events off with the feature race, the November Handicap.  It was however an early start with an 11.45 off time for the first race and the ground was officially described as soft.

Nine runners went to post for the seven furlong race, with the Tim Easterby trained pair of Temper Trap and Quest For Fun coming into the race in good heart, the latter going off favourite.

Former course, distance and race winner Zip took an early lead in the hands of Warren Fentiman, son of popular Yorkshire jockey, Duran and was gently encourage by his fledgling jockey throughout the race to keep up to his work.

Stanage and Shay Farmer, Dashing Roger, ridden by William Stone and Conquest under Tom Kiely-Marshall headed the following pack.

With two furlongs to go, Zip extended his lead, but Quest for Fun and Temper Trap started to make their move and come out of the pack to give chase.  Zip started to tire near the line and Temper Trap, ridden by Mikkel Mortensen was very fast finishing, but the winning line came just in time for Zip, giving Warren his second win from 11 rides.

Division two took place half an hour later, also with nine runners.  Ey Up Its Jazz, a winner earlier in the week, ridden by Mikkel Mortensen made his customary early running, with It Just Takes Time and Olivia Tubb sitting behind in second and Mister Sox ridden by Archie Young racing alongside Beauty Choice and Lewis Chalkley in third and fourth.

After a couple of furlongs, It Just Takes Time edged into the lead, with No Nay Nicki making progress under Warren Fentiman.

With two furlongs to race, It Just Takes Time still just held onto the lead with Fahrenheit Seven and Tim Kiely-Marshall drawing upsides.  The pair ran the last furlong and half together, with It Just Takes Time grinding it out to maintain the advantage at the line, with a fast finishing Capote’s Dream under Liam Wright, just getting the better of Fahrenheit Seven.

The overall winner of the series is William Pyle who amassed a huge 62 points.  He wins sponsorship from Go Racing In Yorkshire and a saddle from White Rose Saddlery.
