Fontwell Park's Southern National won by Salty Boy - raceday picture gallery

Salty Boy took the honours in one of Fontwell's biggest races of the year, the Oberon Investments Southern National Handicap Chase.

The 4/1 chance, ridden by Mitchell Bastyan for trainer David Bridgwater, came home at the end of the gruelling three-and-a-half mile contest five-and-a-half lengths ahead of nearest rival Almazhar Garde (13/2). It was the highlight of a great afternoon's racing, which featured seven races in total. See a selection of pictures by Clive Bennett on this page and the ones linked.
