Eight horses lined up for the 2 mile race, which took place on Good to Soft ground, at the course’s Circus Family Fun Day, which was also day three of the Go Racing In Yorkshire Summer Festival, sponsored by Sky Bet.

It was a unique card for Redcar as all seven races were confined to apprentice jockeys.

Team Endeavour, ridden by Tom Kiely-Marshall was swiftly away and eased into the lead, but he was quickly joined by Bodygroove and Rhys Elliott, who was rousted along to the head of affairs.

Bodygroove took up the running from Team Endeavour and Bollin Neil followed through in third under Elizabeth Gale.

Chillhi was quite keen and pulled his way into second, under current series leader, Mason Paetel, after a couple of furlongs, joining Bodygroove around the stables bend.

The field raced in pairs as they set out on the second circuit and stayed in formation around the final bend.

As they turned into the straight for the final time the pace began to quicken.  Bollin Neil and Elemental Eye were gently pushed along as Rhys Elliot started to get stronger on Bodygroove.  Chilli went on but was tackled by Bollin Neil and Elemental Eye, who responded well to Mohammed Tabti’s urgings and eventually won by one and a quarter lengths.

The next race in the series takes place at Thirsk on Friday, August 8.
