The Vice President, Jim Jamouneau, provided Treadwell with his second mount of the day, in the shape of Slickdalay. He was
bought on the day of declarations, despite coming back from Chepstow with an injury.
Jamouneau oversees the Crown and Anchor stand, and it was hardly surprising to see his horse get backed into favouritism for
the feature race, a handicap over two miles and one furlong.
The Grand National winning jockey was hard at work three furlongs out, but Slickdalay finished well beaten in last. Mattie
Batchelor is often seen riding in the Channel Islands, and he took the valuable race on Royal Prodigy for trainer Ron Hodges.
Trevor Gallienne was seen doing his bit to help out in the morning - clearing dog excrement off the course. As well as being one
of the four on-course bookmakers, Trevor is unique in that he also owns the David Evans trained Penang Cinta.
Trevor opened up 5/2 about Penang Cinta, but was forced to cut the price after the first twenty three bets came in for his horse.
Penang Cinta then shrugged off a losing streak to record an impressive victory under David England, to cap off a 14/1 treble on
the card for David Evans. Evans was represented at L’Ancresse by his son Tony, and has three of his four Guernsey raiders for
sale.
Liam Treadwell praised the ‘lovely relaxed atmosphere’ and even though he wasn’t seen in the temporary winners’ enclosure, he
insisted that he would be back again, whether riding or not.
Much to the delight of the locals, he willingly signed racecards and posed for photographs before the last race. Treadwell still
has his feet firmly on the ground a month on from Aintree and is revelling in his celebrity status.
Clerk Of The Course Thady Griffith is delighted to be able to bring the racing to the people of Guernsey, who don’t benefit from
the same number of meetings as Jersey.
Lord Of The Wing restored Jersey’s pride by winning the fifth and final race of the day for Joan Le Brocq. The 3/1 shot rallied
well under pressure to beat Roger Curtis’ Mucho Loco by two lengths.
