Another Ayr Double

It was another excellent afternoon at Ayr on Tuesday as Empirestateofmind and Highfield Viking both got their heads in front to complete a double for the yard.

Empirestateofmind continued his excellent recent form with another victory over a mile under Jack Callan.

Having won over the same course and distance earlier in the month, the eight-year-old once again showed his liking for testing conditions. He travelled strongly through the race and stuck to his task well in the closing stages to record his second Ayr success in just 11 days.

It is great to see him in such good form and enjoying his racing. Congratulations to his owners, Aire Valley Campers Ltd.

Highfield Viking completed the double later on the card under Jason Hart.

The six-year-old had run well at Ayr on his previous start and built on that performance with a determined display on the heavy ground. He travelled nicely through the race and battled all the way to the line to get back into the winner’s enclosure.

Congratulations to his owners and breeders, Trainers House Enterprises Ltd.

A very satisfying afternoon for the yard and a big thank you to all the team at home for their hard work.
