STABLE VISIT TO SOUTH MOSS RACING STABLES –
SUNDAY 5TH JUNE

The stables are situated at Formby so it will be a morning start
then an optional pub lunch and possibly a trip to the beach if the
weather is fine!

Currently licensed trainer is Bobby Elliott (Former stable Jockey to
mark Johnston) although plans are afoot for yard owner Peter Grayson
to take over the licence in due course.
Now in 2nd full year the yard has around 30-40 horses in the yard
and had 6 turf winners last year and several more on the AW over the
Winter and looks to be a progressive stable with excellent modern
purpose built facilities.
If you haven't seen a stable at first hand this is a great
opportunity to do so!
We ask for a small donation from visitors attending so a donation
can be made to the stable staff who give up their free time to
accommodate such visits. NWRC Full Members £4 All Others £5.
To reserve places please contact NWRC at 53 Dalebrook Rd, Sale, M33
3LB enclosing your payment and advising if you wish to attend the
optional pub lunch after the visit. The directions etc will be sent
via post to those enclosing a SAE or via e mail to those who include
an e mail address. Please also include phone number so we can
contact you in the event of any late changes.
Closing date for bookings is Sat May 28th.
