Wetherby’s season over Jumps continues next Wednesday (November 26) with a seven-race card which is set to start at 12-15 p.m. 

The feature race is The William Hill Yorkshire Winter Festival Handicap Chase over two miles, the title of which draws attention to Wetherby’s two-day Christmas fixture on Boxing Day Friday and Saturday, December 26 & 27. Last year’s winner of this race, Firth Of The Clyde (trained at Malton by Malcolm Jefferson), went on to compete in The Byrne Group Plate at the Cheltenham Festival in March. 

The 50th anniversary of The Injured Jockeys Fund is celebrated in the race title of a contest for novice hurdlers, while the concluding race, a National Hunt Flat race for fillies and mares which are about to begin their careers over Jumps, is supported by The European Breeders’ Fund. 

The giant screen situated opposite the stands will enable racegoers to see even more of the action.
