Newcastle to take centre stage this weekend

NEWCASTLE has its big day in the sun this afternoon with the Northumberland Plate and consolation event on what looks a cracking card.

Both races have maximum fields of 20 with the main event at 3.30 with the weights headed by Champions Stayers’ winner Trueshan (off a mark of 113) and the bottom-weight running off 92, so this is a truly cracking renewal.

Second in the rearranged Sagaro Stakes last year, Mildenberger carries second top-weight equating to a mark of 111 with Rainbow Dreamer off 110 and then a big 8lbs gap and more to the rest of the field.
