Andy the Badger comes a close second at Ayr Races

Andy the badger was fighting fit on Saturday 23 June at the Scottish Sun Mascot Derby at Ayr Racecourse.

mascot race 1 mascot race 2 mascot race 3

Having passed his pre-race fitness test, Andy was raring to go.

The race started and Andy ran like he's never ran before, faster and faster - looks like he's going to win ......

oh no ....... just as Andy makes a concerted effort at the last few yards, Rory the Lion edges past and pips Andy at the post. So Andy is placed a very close second place.


Andy's First Aid friends were on hand to ensure he had everything he needed to rehydrate him and he's now looking forward to beating Rory next time !

Thanks to Andy the Badger (aka Ian Beaddie) for running a great race and to Brenda Kidd for words and photos.
