On the last day there was strong competition for the runner up spot and the big winner on the day John Paul Gilligan swooped into the runner up spot after a win in the very last race, he was awarded second prize of ?1,200.

The Leading Trainer award is presented to the Trainer with the most points accumulated over the 7 days of the summer festival. Trainers receive 5 points for a win, 3 points for second and 1 point for third.
