Tennis icon set to become oldest singles competitor at Flushing Meadows since 1981 after receiving wild-card entry — yet another historic moment in a career already filled with them, writes HOWARD FENDRICH
IT’S the final day of the turf flat season at Doncaster and as usual the card is packed full of big-field handicaps — including the feature November Handicap due off at 3.15.
There are any number of candidates among the 23 entries with solid claims, but the one that really strikes me as having an outstanding chance is SURREY PRIDE (nap).
Trainer Joseph Tuite landed this famous handicap back in 2015 with the well-backed Litigant. Whereas he was a lightly raced seven-year-old, this son of Lope de Vega is four years younger and having only his ninth career start.
