King rides his 50th race winner for trainer Price

THE Lamerton Hunt hosted their one and only point-to-point fixture of the season at Kilworthy last Sunday, with jockey and trainer doubles on the day.
The well-fancied Jet Smart got favourite backers off to a winning start in the Pannell Commercial Lamerton Hunt Members race. Rian Corcoran kept things simple in the saddle, tracking the leader Joey Steel before taking the lead with a circuit to travel and then gliding to a six-length victory. Winning trainer Emma Summersby, alongside husband Dean, are no strangers to winning this race over the years.
The second race on the card was the Jockey Club and Michael and Sarah Dennis Maiden for Mares and Fillies. Echo Of Promise gave the bookmakers yet another blow when cruising to victory by six lengths at odds of 6-4.
Luke Price-trained horses are always well supported by punters when they make the journey down from South Wales, and it proved fruitful to do so once again. This was James King’s 50th winner for Luke alone - quite the achievement to ride that amount of winners for one trainer.
