A silent auction has been launched to raise funds for three racing causes in the build-up to a charity raceday at Newbury on August 6 in memory of respected vet John Drew, who died in 2017.

Lots range from a 2020 nomination to Whitsbury Manor Stud's speed sire Havana Grey to House of Commons champagne signed by Theresa May on the day she called the 2017 general election.

Proceeds will go to the Injured Jockeys Fund, Riding for the Disabled and Retraining of Racehorses, and a full list of lots for auction can be found here.
