With spaces fast filling up for the 2017 Harrisons Scottish Open Championship we can announce a third member of this year’s Monarchs septet in the line-up and it’s exciting newcomer Josh Pickering!

Josh is of course completely fresh to the British scene but if he has even a modicum of the talent to match his enthusiasm we have another good one on our hands. Josh has been highly recommended to the Monarchs and performed admirably in Oz this winter.

Josh will be riding the Armadale track for the first time competitively in the Open and in what is shaping up to be a tasty field he may not be among the top dogs but the experience will no doubt stand him in good stead.

Josh's rider sponsorship package has been snapped up - thanks to David McPherson. Heat sponsorship packages, however, are available. This includes recognition as a heat sponsor, admission for two to the Open, two match magazines, a DVD of the Championship and hospitality for two in the Champions Lounge - all for just £120. Follow the link below to book this package now!

So 6 down, 10 to go! Look back at 10am tomorrow when we will announce the 7th rider who will be going after the famous Jack Young Memorial trophy.

Tickets are on sale now with sponsorship packages also available details of all can be found here for what is sure to be a hotly contested night of racing to raise the curtain on our 21st season at Armadale.
