BROOKHEAD Warrington Riding Club have pulled off a coup.

Club officials have managed to secure the use of the new Aintree International Equestrian Centre for their one-day Open Championship Show on August 5 from 8am.

The club have tried to arrange the event on three occasions at their showground in Burtonwood but the wet weather has beaten them each time.

So now, their 'indoor' show will become the Aintree Racecourse centre's first official competitive event.

Brookhead secretary Peter Edwards said: "This is Brookhead's biggest ever event.

"It could attract people from right across the United Kingdom."
