WRB RACING’S PEDIGREE
The first runner was in November 1988, and the first winner, in April 1989. It was a horse called Rothko, trained by George Moore, in which Harvey Smith had a 50% share.
Rothko went on to win the 1992 Philip Cornes Saddle of Gold Final, as an 11-y-o, when trained by Sue Smith, with Muse, Triple Witching and Young Hustler all behind.
We have had runners at all 61 racetracks in Britain, from Perth in the North to Brighton in the South, and from Newton Abbott in the West to Yarmouth in the East.
