Catterick’s 2014 season on the Flat begins next Wednesday (April 9) – the first of 17 scheduled days’ racing on the level this year at the North Yorkshire course.
Racing on Wednesday begins at 2-20 p.m. and the seven-race programme features the first qualifying race Catterick Twelve Furlong Series – now in its second year – which culminates in a £20,000 Final at the course on Saturday, September 20. Wednesday’s race is a Handicap contest offering prize of £10,000.
To coincide with the schools holidays, there’s a selection of attractions of children in the Course Enclosure, such as the indoor play area, face painting, bouncy castles and free mini eggs – while stocks last!
The giant screen situated opposite the main stands will enable racegoers to follow all of the action.
Catterick’s Top Trainer and Jockey Awards on the Flat, supported last year by The Nag’s Head at Pickhill were won by David O’Meara and Graham Lee respectively, while Raul da Silva was the course’s leading apprentice jockey.
