Lingfield: Richard Hannon´s last runners

normally we would not even look at today´s low level Lingfield card and certainly not recommend any bets - but this day will be memorable as it marks the retirement of Richard Hannon, who hands over to his son Richard junior at midnight. Hannon has been training since 1970, has been champion trainer 5 times and sent out 3644 winners of well over 15 million GBP in prize-money. He has 3 runners today - Sebs Sensei (Sean Levey) and Amontillado (Kieren O´Neill) in the 2yo handicap at 14.00 CET, and Lions Arch (Levey), who has top weight in the 7 furlongs handicap at 15.30. Obviously it would be nice if one of them were to win, but we would not bet on it.
Another trainer to watch today is Mark Johnston, who has just one runner, Outbacker (Adam Kirby) at 13.30. Johnston has sent out 216 winners in 2013, - which equals his personal record- so clearly would like to go one better here.
