GREAT Britain Racing Board track supremo John Haynes ran the rule over Oxford’s racing surface last week and gave the go-ahead for the remainder of the circuit to be overhauled for a new drainage system.

Most of the work has been done through a grant from GBRB funds.

  • MALBAY Elite, who did us a favour by landing the nap last Saturday, can oblige again in the A1, the Trish Mayo 40th birthday Stakes, at Oxford Stadium tonight.

The Richard Yeates-trained dog finished five lengths clear then and can double up tonight.
