Chairman Liz Mort said ‘it has been difficult placing the events this year, the importaDerby, so a bit of breathing space had to put between the two ‘By the publication of the next Calendar we will be able to add several more – including our Britisnt thing was to get the Produce Stakes positioned well in the Calendar, as it is a complicated competition to run and needs time!  We were all aware though that there could well be finalists wanting to enter the British Bred Derby, at Sheffield in December and the BGBF Nottingham Breeders’ Stakes, which will be in November. We’re also confirming plans for the Scurry and our Northern Plate at Newcastle, which will be a little different this year, as well as a number of other supporting British bred races. Watch this space, as they say!’
