The Open Meeting was as always the first big meeting of the season at Prestbury Park in 2011 and there were some excellent races for punters to enjoy. We saw some real top class performances including that of Grands Crus who continued to impress as a Novice Chase while another big winner was Great Endeavour who won the Paddy Power Gold Cup.
