Reg Todd & Dark Shift winners of the World Pool “moment of the day” initiative

The partners of World Pool are running a World Pool Moment of the Day initiative which is awarded to a standout performance.   This performance could include a wide-margin, a winner from an unlikely position, an extraordinary turn of foot at any point in the race or a human or equine interest story. Racing staff who look after the winning horse for each World Pool “Moment of the Day” will receive £1,000 and a bottle of champagne. At the end of the World Pool season, the 16 winners of “Moment of the Day” at World Pool events will compete for the overall World Pool “Moment of the Year”, which will be presented on British Champions Day. The overall winner will be determined by a combination of scores derived from a public vote and an industry panel.  The winning yard who looks after the horse will be awarded the World Pool Moment of the Year and receive £34,000.

We are delighted to announce that on Wednesday 15th June the standout Moment of the Day was Reg Todd and Dark Shift.   Reg started his career in the racing industry in 1959 and has been employed by Charlie & Barry Hills for 30 years, he is now 76 years young and we are delighted he has had his first Royal Ascot winner and that he has been awarded this prize.
