MICHAEL Peterson will be hoping for better luck when he sends Tictac Gold for a £500 open race at Wimbledon next Tuesday, which will be covered live on Sky Sports.

Last week, the 2010 champion Oxford trainer watched in dismay at Harlow, when the hound trapped two lengths clear of the field.

But with the race looking all-but over, the hare stopped, and was declared a no race.

LIOSGARBH WEST will be Oxford’s main hope for this year’s Cesarewitch after winning five of his last 14 staying open races.

The heats of the Cesarewitch, now in its 79th year, will be run on Thursday, November 3, with the final on Thursday, November 10 The winner will receive £2,000.

RICHARD Yeates’s Freedom Emma Bounced back to form at Monday’s trials recording 27.16.

She will now have another trial at Oxford this Monday.

The plan will be to take her place at Wimbledon to try to defend her crown in the Oaks, before retiring to the breeding paddocks.

MORE a million pounds in prize money is being directed to all trainers in a way of a series of Kennel Sweepstakes at all tracks.

The winners will receive £500, with off-course bookmakers committing cash to BAGS tracks racing.

It means that owners at the 17 BAGS tracks, which in-clude Oxford, can expect two of these events every month.

Chris Stringer hit form and his best day’s racing last Friday with a 11-timer across the board with five winners at Oxford and six at Swindon.

NICK Colton’s Taranis Rex, the Gymcrack winner, who ran poorly at Wimbledon last time out, is being treated for a sprained hock.

Meanwhile, Colton’s Jolly Poacher will have a 250 metres solo trial in readiness for the Blanchford Gold Cup, which is highly likely his last competition before retiring to take up stud duties in Ireland.

LAST Saturday’s evening race meeting produced another stat when the meeting produced two winners from each trap, showing there was no bias to the track.
