Despite the appalling weather, the event raised a magnificent 25,000.

John Dunlop's racing secretary Marcus Hosgood said: "In view of the atrocious weather, it was a staggeringly good turnout. We sold about 1,000 programmes and made about 7,000 on the day and 25,000 overall.

The money will raised will be split between the Moorcroft Racehorse Welfare Centre and the restoration fund at St Mary's Church in Burpham, West Sussex.
