Beverley’s 2013 season comes to an end with a seven-race programme on Tuesday (September 24), when racing is scheduled to start at 2-10 p.m. The afternoon’s principal race is the 14th running of The Violet and Eddie Smith Memorial Conditions Stakes, an £11,500 contest for sprinters over five furlongs, which remembers a brother and sister who enjoyed racing at Beverley.
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.
The George Kilburn Memorial Handicap Stakes, contested over the extended seven furlongs, commemorates a former local businessman, racehorse owner and a director of Beverley racecourse.
The opening race is a contest for maiden two-year-olds supported by The European Breeders’ Fund in association with British Stallion Studs, while The MPH Fulfilment Handicap Stakes is contested over the extended mile.
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 2014, details of which can be obtained by contacting the racecourse on (01482) 867488/882645.
