Eleven newcomers are determined to make an impression in the Thompson Commercials "Newcomers" Standard Open National Hunt Flat Race, being held at Newcastle on Tuesday, March 06, 2012.
According to the schedule, the party is due to start at 17:20 (GMT). The contender, who will start his journey with a victory, will earn a cash prize worth £1,365. The going is good to soft for today’s race, which will be run across 2-mile distance.
Among the entries are: Flamingo Cay, Mr Puck, One For Hocky, Garth, Granny Blackwood, Backworth Shandy, Elmaatigra, Silver Carousel, Philchezski, Slaveheart and Doyenthedecenthing.
Flamingo Cay is trained by Tom Tate, an experienced handler with number of victories to his credit. At the end of last month, Tom Tate guided Kudu Country to an emphatic win in the Golf And Racing At Southwell Novices' Chase.
It was Tom Tate’s second big success during last 14 days. On February 22, his trainee, Eagle Rock, sealed the top slot in the crownhotel-bawtry.com Juvenile Hurdle at Doncaster.

Nicky Richards’ One For Hocky, is also looking good to start his career superbly. The four-year-old gelding will be ridden by Brian Harding, who was earned £90,088 so far in the ongoing season.
Conclusion
