Re: Horse Racing
Trophy proves a stroll in Park.

Quote:
Elm Park emerged as a serious contender for the Investec Derby from the historic Kingsclere stables when running out an impressive all-the-way winner of the Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster.
A statue of 1971 Derby hero Mill Reef adorns the yard and is a permanent reminder of days gone by, when Ian Balding held the licence.
Now it is his son Andrew who rules the roost, but as he was in Australia supervising Side Glance's effort in the Cox Plate earlier in the day, it was left to his father to greet the winner, which he bred under the Kingsclere banner.
