The Leconfield Search & Rescue Squadron 50th Anniversary Handicap Stakes over the extended seven furlongs pays tribute to the Squadron and what they have done over the last half-century. It is hoped that one of their helicopters will be at the meeting, and the racecourse wants to know from anyone who has been involved or helped by the team over the years to tell their stories. 

Amateur riders take part in The Brian and Jason Merrington Memorial Handicap Stakes (one mile and a quarter), a race which remembers a former head groundsman at Beverley and his son who also worked at the course. 

A long-standing Beverley racegoer is recognised in The Chris Walker’s 60th Year Racing Here Handicap Stakes, contested over the extended mile. 

The opening race is a contest for maiden two-year-olds supported by The European Breeders’ Fund in association with Irish Stallion Farms. 

The giant screen will be in use helping racegoers to follow all of the action on the track. 

The Beverley Annual Badgeholders Selling Stakes over one mile and a half draws attention to annual membership at the course for 2015, details of which can be obtained by contacting the racecourse on (01482) 867488/882645.
