Catterick’s season over Jumps continues with a seven-race programme this Friday (January 31), which is set to begin at 1-10 p.m.
The feature race, The New Racing UK Anywhere Available Now Handicap Chase, is contested over two and three furlongs and offers prize money of £12,000. The European Breeders’ Fund supports a race for Novice Hurdlers – a qualifying contest in a national series under the auspices of the EBF – which culminates in a £60,000 Final at Sandown Park in March.
Friday’s longest race is The Watt Fences Handicap Hurdle over the extended three miles and one furlong.
This meeting coincides with the Chinese New Year, which is ‘The Year of the Horse’, and a quantity of ‘fortune cookies’ will be distributed to racegoers!
The giant screen, situated opposite the main stands, will enable racegoers to enjoy even more of the action. There is a shuttle bus service from Richmond town centre departing at 11-45 a.m. and returning after the last race.
