Rolex perfect timing

Saturday’s big meeting saw big turn-ups in the finals of the PGR Golden Jacket and the Ladbrokes sponsored Peter Bussey Memorial.

Here is a reminder of the two big finals, a fabulous selection of Steve Nash photographs and the thoughts of Roger Cearns, joint owner, with Tony Brealey of Golden Jacket winner Dazl Rolex.
