Beverley’s penultimate meeting of the season takes place on Wednesday (September 18) – Totepool Day – when the seven-race programme on the Westwood is scheduled to start at 2-00 p.m.
 
The whole card is supported by Totepool, who along with parent company Betfred, comprise one of the biggest commercial sponsors in British racing. The feature race is a contest for three-year-olds over one mile and a half.
 
The afternoon’s final race is part of a national series for apprentice jockeys – The Racing Excellence Apprentice Training Series Classified Stakes, a contest over the extended mile. The series is designed to assist in the development and education of young riders under the auspices of The British Horseracing Authority. The series concludes at Newmarket on November 1 and Shelley Birkett leads the Series, followed by Joey Haynes.
 
Going into this meeting, Middleham trainer, Mark Johnston has recorded 14 winners at Beverley this season, to lead the way in the competition to be the course’s top trainer for the fifth consecutive year. Paul Mulrennan and Dane O’Neill head the jockeys’ category, both having ridden seven winners so far this term on the Westwood.
