Sample & Co · Great St Wilfrid Day took the group to Ripon on Saturday 15 August 2026. The card ran to 13 races, of which 13 settled by the close, and 12 guests took their seats in the private DEN.
The Corporate Cup went to Amelia Ford, closing on 2290 credits — up 1290 on the starting stake. Across the group, 36 picks were placed, of which 21 landed; the pack finished +5105 on 2810 staked.
The moment everyone will remember: Amelia Ford on Foxy Tipper at 10/1 in the Great St Wilfrid Handicap, returning +1200 credits from a 120-credit stake. The pub-story of the day, and rightly so.
The market took a knock too — Foxy Tipper came in at 10/1 in the Great St Wilfrid Handicap, the day's biggest-priced winner.
Spare a thought for Finn Morrison, who kept the group honest at the other end of the board on 640 credits. There is next time.
