Max Picinelli, the man mainly responsible for the recent successful gala night of racing at Sandy Lane, is to continue his sponsorship.

Picinelli was so pleased with the outcome, he has informed management at Cowley that he is keen to sponsor a group one race next year.

The Italian businessman, who owns Tech-Shop UK, has dogs with fellow countryman trainer Tony Magnasco and enjoys plenty of success here.

His latest talent, Riverside Yank, burned up the six bends at Cowley on his debut winning by over seven lengths posting 36.85secs and will try his luck at Walthamstow this week.
