Horse racing: Lingfield Classic trials, Ascot updates and more – live

WATERING BAN MAY HAVE LED TO SMALL CLASSIC TRIAL FIELDS

A total of 10 runners for two recognised Classic trials with a total of £120,000 in the prize money pot is a disappointing turnout from Lingfield’s point of view – and three runners in the Oaks Trial particularly so – but it was hardly an advertisement in terms of attracting decent fields that the turf track was approved for use only on Tuesday, following an inspection by the British Horseracing Authority.
