Beverley’s final evening meeting of the summer on Monday evening (July 21) is the third leg of the 2014 ‘Go Racing In Yorkshire Summer Festival’, aimed to showcase racing in the county.

 Racing begins at 6-15 p.m. and the feature races are The Sky Bet Supporting The Yorkshire Racing Summer Festival Handicap Stakes, The Weatherbys Stallion Book Handicap Stakes – both races for three-year-olds over the extended seven furlongs – The Richard & Carol Hudson Handicap Stakes (five furlongs), The SPS Group Maiden Handicap Stakes (for three-year-old stayers over two miles) and The Tribfest Music Festival Handicap Stakes (one mile and a quarter).

 During racing on Monday evening, models will be displaying the latest fashions from podiums throughout the enclosures to highlight the forthcoming St. Stephen’s Style Event on Journal Ladies Day on Wednesday, August 13. 

Former racehorses now under the care of ‘New Beginnings’, a Yorkshire-based local community interest company, are in attendance throughout the Festival enabling racegoers to see them at close hand, while ‘Go Racing in Yorkshire’ will be hosting a new interactive ‘Racing Roadshow’ designed to entertain and engage racegoers in finding out about the equine and human stars of the sport. 

There’s also the chance to win a VIP day out at the final day of the Welcome to Yorkshire Ebor Festival at York next month – including a £200 bet with Sky Bet and – in a special competition running throughout the Festival. 

The giant screen situated opposite the main stands, will enable racegoers to see all of the action. There’s also a special preview of racing in the winners’ enclosure some 45 minutes before the action begins on the track, and paddock commentaries prior to each race.
