Here are the results for the Essex Farmers & Union meeting at Marks Tey. Despite all the efforts with the course it only drew 11 runners in 6 races and 4 of them were walkovers. The official going was good to firm, firm in places and good to soft in a few places. The weather was sunny but with a breeze, certainly colder than Saturday. Not the biggest crowd seen here for an Easter Monday fixture.
