Historical Context

The first day of the 1991 Uttoxeter Easter Meeting was built around a six-race National Hunt programme, with Alfa Romeo sponsorship featuring prominently across five of the race names.

The standout individual performance came from Jacqui Oliver, who completed a treble during the afternoon. Her three victories came in the 3.25, 4.35 and 5.10 races, all for trainer Mrs S Oliver.

The day’s principal contest was the Peter Smith Sports Cars Handicap Steeple Chase for the Charles Lewis Cup. Skinnhill won the race at 11/10 favourite, ridden by P Barnard and trained by T Thomson Jones.
