Leading racehorse syndication company, Pinnacle Racing are sponsoring Redcar’s popular Straight-Mile Championship Series, which begins on Easter Monday (April 6) – the opening meeting of Redcar’s 2015 season – and concludes with a Final on totepool Two-Year-Old Trophy Day on Saturday, October 3.

There are eight qualifying races in this season’s Straight-Mile Championship Series, culminating in the Final for The Pinnacle Cup.

 When a qualifying race is staged, along with the Final, Pinnacle Racing will have a special stand in the main enclosure promoting the virtues of having shares with the company for horses to run specifically in the north, including Redcar. There are also shares available in National Hunt horses. Stable visits for the company’s members along with corporate clients are arranged during the year. Pinnacle Racing will also be involved in corporate entertaining on their sponsored days at Redcar.

There’s also a special racecard competition throughout the Series, with the winner (drawn on Pinnacle Cup Straight-Mile Series Final day in October) receiving a share of racehorse syndication.

Last year’s winner of the Straight-Mile Championship Final was Karaka Jack, trained near Glasgow by Jim Goldie and ridden by Graham Lee.

 Jaki Savage, Pinnacle Racing’s business manager said “We are looking forward to supportingthe Straight-Mile Series and working with Redcar Racecourse. We hope to have one of our horses running on a qualifying race day and I’m sure we will see some really competitive racing”.

 Amy Fair, Redcar Racecourse’s general manager said “We are delighted that Pinnacle Racing will be sponsoring the Pinnacle Cup Straight-Mile Series this season at Redcar. Based down the road at Wynyard, it’s great that a local syndicate has joined forces with us and we hope their involvement at Redcar will raise their profile during these exciting times.”
