Purple Moon ready for starring role on Sandown charity night

The Retraining of Racehorses charity stages its first race night at Sandown today with a six-race card followed by a concert by chart-topper Jess Glynne.

The equine stars off-course include Ebor winner and Melbourne Cup runner-up Purple Moon, now a big name in the show ring, and the RoR musical ride display team. To get in tune for the evening, Purple Moon donned full rock ’n’ roll regalia and was photographed inside his own home studio to promote the event.

Before racing, the musical ride display team will perform to music in the paddock to Glynne tracks, specially arranged by Tom Hunt, a leading dressage-to-music composer.
