The day’s winners included Canfield, Servidor, Kama, Venetian Lady, Nest Egg and Iron Ration, with jockeys and trainers from the leading racing centres of the period including Newmarket and Epsom.

Original racecards from the early twentieth century are important historical records, documenting the horses, jockeys, trainers and race meetings of their time. They provide a unique connection to the traditions and development of British racing.
