The legendary racehorse Best Mate will be remembered at Exeter Racecourse next Tuesday when a beginners’ chase is staged in his name.
His owner Jim Lewis will make his annual pilgrimage to the course to present the prize to the winning owners of the race and to lay a wreath in his memory. Best Mate was widely regarded as the ‘people’s horse,’ his popularity reaching beyond racecourses and stretching out to every corner of the land. Three Cheltenham Gold Cup wins and two victories in the Haldon Gold Cup were among his many successes during a glittering career when he lit up...
Two Supreme Court rulings on the 14th October have reiterated the need for full and frank disclosure of financial circumstances and assets in divorce cases, a leading South West law firm says. The two cases concerned women who said that their husbands had not revealed the full extent of their financial assets when their original divorce cases were settled. Both cases are now likely to return to the High Court. In one case, Alison Sharland accepted a settlement of £10 million and 30% of the shareholding in her husband’s business believing that to represent half of his wealth. However, when...

George Ford put the disappointment of England’s turgid Rugby World Cup campaign firmly behind him as his return to club colours helped Bath kick-off the new Aviva Premiership season with a narrow victory over Exeter Chiefs.
The England playmaker’s 14-point haul – including a penalty two minutes from time – proved the key difference in a tight affair at the Recreation Ground. Ford edged out opposite number Gareth Steenson in the game’s key kicking duel and he was part and parcel of Bath’s one and only try, scored in the first half...
EXETER CITY went down in defeat at Brunton Park as Alex Gilliead struck Carlisle United's winning goal ten minutes from time.
The Grecians had three changes from the starting eleven that drew 3-3 with Stevenage a week earlier at St James Park, with Arron Davies and Danny Butterfield coming into the midfield and Alex Nicholls starting out wide.
An end-to-end first half saw Carlisle, mostly through nineteen-year-old Newcastle United loanee Alex Gilliead, cause the Grecians problems with a peppering of crosses into the box, but City handled the defensive side of their game...

Local enforcement teams and their sniffer dogs will take to the streets of Exeter on Monday (19 October) to ask for the public’s help in tackling the sellers of illegal tobacco.
Currently over 100,000 people in Devon smoke, and around 3% of these buy illegal tobacco. Illegal tobacco is known to make it easier for children to start smoking, as it is sold at cheap prices, and is also known to make communities more attractive to criminals, who can have links to organised crime.
