Here are the results for the Essex Farmers & Union Easter Meeting at Marks Tey. The official going was good to soft. Weather was cloudy to start with but brightening up through the afternoon. Again another big Bank Holiday crowd in attendance but not as busy as it has been in previous years. The beer tent appeared to be doing a good trade.

Bookies amazingly betting to 0% margins at best odds and more than happy (grrrrr) to accomodate a fair sized each way bet on Maree Hall in the last at 33-1. Only besten 200 yards but still 3rd. (double grrrrr)
