Amid pouring rain and on a track which was literally a sea of mud the third day of Addington's Easter fixture provided no pleasure for racegoers or drivers.
It took Danniel's Pride, a proven mudlark, 3 minutes 49 seconds to run the mile and five furlong Easter Cup after leading all the way.
With drivers' colours completely obscured the horses could only be identified by their numbers and here Danniel's Pride and driver D C Watts are seen on the inner taking a head victory over Light Nurse(C Berkett) outer. Super Royal(M Holmes) outer, is taking third place from Stadium Chief(rails) and Don Hall.
