Younger racegoers can enter a Mascot-naming competition for a chance to win family day tickets to a Yorkshire meeting in 2014 and a Sugar Rush sweetie hamper.
 
Yorkshire Radio will be broadcasting from the course, as part of their commitment to the Festival, while 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.
