An exclusive behind the scenes tour and much more
If you dream of owning your own racehorse or you’d like an exclusive look behind the scenes of horseracing, there is a superb opportunity to explore this magnificent sport here in Yorkshire as part of the Go Racing in Yorkshire Summer Festival.
Visit Wetherby Racecourse on Tuesday 23rd July for a special Racecourse Open Day and take a tour of all those “off limits” areas not normally open to the public. Meet some of the people who make it happen including; owners, trainers, jockeys and racecourse staff as well as a number of syndicate managers promoting racehorse ownership. You can even have a go at simulated race riding on the equicisor (mechanical horse) – great fun for the youngsters or the young at heart!
Of course no racing event would be complete without the stars of the show; come and see some syndicate horses currently in training and ex-racehorses now enjoying their retirement with the charity New Beginnings on the Yorkshire Wolds.
Racecourse Open Day starts at 11 am. Please register for tickets at www.goracing.co.uk/summer-festival.html
Tickets are limited so book early, the event is FREE of charge although visitors are asked for a £5 per person donation for the Festival charity New Beginnings.
The Go Racing in Yorkshire Summer Festival runs for 9 days, starting at Ripon on Saturday 20th July and closing at Pontefract on Sunday 28th July. With an array of on course events, including family days and music showcases, there’s something for everyone.
