FORTUNE smiled on the Lions Charity meeting under British Harness Racing Club rules at Allensmore.

While torrential rain lashed the region, not a drop fell on the Allensmore circuit for the well-attended 11 races.

North Wales raider Megan Taff enjoyed a successful day, partnering a tremendous treble for local owners.

Wine Taster, owned by Leominster businessman Shane Fletcher, sped to victory in two of the races.

The awesome Lucky Touch, owned by Craven Arms man Lee Morris, tested Taff's strength in the feature race Free For All, especially when challenged by Mahogany Duke (Tudor Jones).

Jones gained fair consolation when Granell Shane fought off Ken Owens' Magical UK (David Bevan) to add another notch to his considerable tally. The RWHH charity meeting for the County Air Ambulance is at Leominster on Sunday from 2pm.
