John Koumides’ In The Mood, a four-year-old Bold Silvano filly, made it four in a row when winning the 1800m MR 70 Handicap on Castle Tankard Day.

Trained by Kirk Swanson, ridden by Raymond Danielson and bred by Summerhill Stud, In The Mood is among the nominations for the 1800m OK Grand Challenge to be run at Borrowdale Park on June 1st. Will she hang in there?

The Swanson stable won the 1700m Maiden Plate earlier with Ineffable, by Alado (GB). The filly stumbled coming out of the pens but put that behind her. Wesley Marwing was in the irons and the three-year-old is owned by Messrs C & B Kieswetter and Mr C M & Mrs E B Shepherd, Mrs K M Bonthrone and Mrs D J Swanson.

Good to see the Kieswetters on course on Tankard Day.
