Summer slot for Glasgow Stakes
The revised schedule of The totepool Glasgow Listed Stakes to Thursday, 14 July from its original pre-Derby slot in May has taken advantage of a potential scarcity of opportunities for staying three year olds of Listed class who are not yet ready to take on the older horses. The Listed race will now form a double header with the popular John Smith's Fair Friday meeting taking place the following day - the two days are expected to offer over 120,000 in total prize-money. Ruth Quinn, Director of Racing for the British Horseracing Authority, said: "We thought it was worth taking a fresh approach to the Glasgow and giving it a slightly different role to play by moving it into the summer."
