HIGH QUALITY racing just keeps on coming at Thirsk with a Summer Evening spectacular lined up for next Tuesday (August 14), highlighted by two races for two-year-olds and the British EBF Fillies Novice Stakes.

There has hardly time to draw breath since the two day William Hill Thirsk Summer Cup last weekend, but it will be all systems go for another great meeting next week with a seven race card on offer.

And with music from Jump The Q to keep everyone entertained, what better way to unwind after a hard day than at one of the country’s most beautiful racecourses.

Pick of the card is likely to be the British EBF Fillies Novice Stakes, which is likely to attract some useful fillies hoping to make their mark.

But with a competitive nursery for the two-year-olds in the All Creatures Family Day At Thirsk Monday 20th August and a chance for some of the more stoutly bred juveniles in the seven furlong Licensed For Wedding Ceremonies At Thirsk Novice Auction Stakes, there will be useful pointers for the future.

Racing gets underway with the Betfair Flat Novice Amateur Riders Handicap at 5.20pm although the gates will be open from 3pm.

Entry to the Premier Enclosure costs £23 on the day, Paddock Enclosure costs £15 and Family Enclosure starts from £6.  Discounts are available if booked in advance along with great reductions for the special packages and for group bookings whilst, as always, adult accompanied children under 18 get in free.
