 Wetherby’s season over Jumps continues with ‘Wear a Hat Day’ this Friday (March 27), when the seven-race programme is scheduled to start at 2-20 p.m.

 It’s the fourth annual ‘Wear A Hat Day’ Wetherby has staged in support of Brain Tumour Research, with a ‘Best Hat’ competition during the afternoon, along with spot prizes and a raffle with the top prize being tickets to the following week’s Crabbie’s Grand National Meeting at Aintree. It’s all part of a national campaign on Friday to raise funds and awareness of Brain Tumour Research. 

Staff and officials are being encouraged to wear headgear of any kind and a selection of Yorkshire-based milliners will be on hand to give advice and encouragement.

 The opening race is a Novices’ Hurdle contest for Conditional Jockeys, while the feature race is The New Racing UK iPad Handicap Chase over the extended two and three-quarter miles.
