Thirsk stages an evening’s racing on Tuesday (July 15) – July Jazz Night at the North Yorkshire course – a seven-race programme which starts at 6-10 p.m. ‘Dr. Jazz’ and his band provide the musical entertainment during the evening from the bandstand.

 The race titles draw attention to Racing UK, the dedicated racing channel which features all of the racing action ‘live’ from Thirsk and which is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year.

 The feature race is a handicap contest for three-year-olds over one mile and a half.
