The totepool Mobile Catterick Dash takes pride of place on a seven-race programme on Saturday (October 19), when racing is scheduled to begin at 1-55 p.m. With almost £65,500 in prize money on offer throughout the afternoon, ‘totepool’ Day is Catterick’s richest raceday of the year.
There’s record prize money of £25,000 up for grabs in The totepool Mobile Catterick Dash, a handicap contest over the minimum distance of five furlongs which should attract plenty of good sprinters. Last year’s race was won by Kingsgate Choice, trained at Ledbury in Herefordshire by Ed de Giles. Kingsgate Choice went on to win at York in May of this year and recently competed in the Group 1 Prix de l’Abbaye for sprinters at Longchamp near Paris.
Totepool continue to support this entire meeting, on a day which sees the penultimate round of the inaugural ‘Go Racing in Yorkshire’ Future Stars Apprentice Series, which culminates in a Final at Doncaster next month. Coming into this race, North Yorkshire-based riders, Gary Mahon (42 points) and Jacob Butterfield (30 points) lead the way.
As usual, the giant screen and the Closed-Circuit Television System will enable racegoers to see even more action on the track, along with showing the action from QIPCO British Champions Day at Ascot.
The indoor play area in the Course Enclosure will be in use for young racegoers.
