VC CASINO.COM JOCKEYS AND TRAINERS CHAMPIONSHIPS AT ROYAL WINDSOR DRAW TO EXCITING CONCLUSION ON MONDAY, AUGUST 21

Racegoers have enjoyed another fabulous season of Monday Evening racing at Royal Windsor Racecourse this summer, and, as the nights begin to close in, the VC Casino.com sponsored Jockeys and Trainers Championships are heading for an exciting conclusion ahead of the final evening fixture of the year at the Berkshire course on Monday, August 21.

Along with the associated prestige, the triumphant rider and trainer will be generously rewarded with their own weight in champagne, courtesy of VC Casino.com. Ryan Moore is leading the field among the jockeys with 10 wins at the course this season.

He is trying desperately to hold off the attentions of Richard Hughes, who is hot on his heels with with nine wins. It looks like being a race to the wire between the two riders, who both benefit from the patronage of Richard Hannon.

Hannon is in pole position at the top of the trainer's table and his nine wins place him four clear of Sir Michael Stoute and David Elsworth in the race to benefit from VC Bet's bubbly generosity. Will they be looking to gain a few more pounds along with a few more winners before the final weigh-in on Monday, August 21?

Rupert Thacker from VC Casino.com said: "It has been a wonderful opportunity to sponsor the Monday nights at Windsor along with the Trainers and Jockeys Championships, we are looking forward to celebrating with the winners on Monday, August 21!"
