THE annual Guernsey Race Club flat meeting gets better by the year. Overcast conditions and patches of drizzle could not spoil a fantastic afternoon’s entertainment yesterday at L’Ancresse.

All five races were crackers in what was a very professionally run and well supported event. ‘It has been an incredibly good day to say the weather has been poor for us yet again,’ said GRC committee member Trevor Gallienne.

‘People have still made an effort and they have realised we need the support if we are to stage an event like this and the feedback I have had from them has been great. ‘I think it is fair to say that it is a great day out for a fiver.’
