Redcar’s season on the Flat continues with a seven-race programme on Friday (October 18), scheduled to start at 2-00 p.m. with a contest for maiden two-year-olds supported by The European Breeders’ Fund – one of two races held under the EBF banner.
The Sam Hall Memorial Handicap Stakes over one mile and three-quarters commemorates the great Yorkshire trainer, who passed away in 1977. He trained over 1,000 winners during an illustrious career which began in 1949, achieving a lot of success at Redcar, including winning the Zetland Gold Cup on four occasions.
Regular sponsors, Market Cross Jewellers put their name to the afternoon’s Claiming race – a contest for two-year-olds over seven furlongs. Lady Amateur Riders take part in the final race, a Handicap contest over one mile and a quarter.
As usual, the giant screen situated opposite the stands will enable racegoers to see even more of the action on the track.
