The third of four consecutive Wednesday afternoon meetings at Catterick next week on July 16 is set to begin at 2-00 p.m.  

Three-year-old sprinters take part in The ABF The Soldiers’ Charity Handicap Stakes over five furlongs and funds will be raised for this charity which has strong links with the local community, with Catterick Garrison being a major military camp. The charity will have a stall at the meeting, giving information about what they do and selling merchandise. 

The main race is The catterickbridge.co.uk Handicap Stakes, a contest for sprinters over six furlongs, while also featured is The Racing UK Anywhere Available Now Handicap Stakes – a qualifier for The Catterick Twelve Furlong Series, which culminates in a £20,000 Final on Saturday, September 20. 

Novice amateur riders, who at the start of the season had not ridden more than three winners under Rules, take part in The Betfair Novice Flat Amateur Riders’ Handicap Stakes over one mile and a half. 

 The Go Racing In  Yorkshire Summer Festival Maiden Stakes is contested over seven furlongs and the race title draws attention to the seventh Summer Festival on the Yorkshire racecourses which begins the following Saturday at Ripon and concludes at Pontefract on Sunday, July 27. 

As usual, the giant screen will be in use and the raceday shuttle bus is in operation from Richmond town centre.
