Catterick’s season on the Flat continues with a seven-race programme on Saturday (September 21), starting at 2-10 p.m. with a contest for maiden two-year-olds supported by The European Breeders’ Fund. It’s the course’s only meeting this month.
The principal race is The 2013 Catterick Twelve Furlong Series Final – a £20,000 Handicap contest over one mile and a half. It’s the culmination of a new Series held at Catterick this season; there have been seven qualifying races from when the course’s campaign on the Flat began in April.
The Pin Point Recruitment Handicap Stakes, a contest over for three-year-old stayers over one mile and three-quarters, is supported by the Newcastle-based company who are regular sponsors at Catterick.
There’s a selection of attractions for children in the Course Enclosure, such as a bouncy castle, roundabout and face painting, along with an indoor play area, while the giant screen will enable racegoers to see even more action on the track, as well as showing the big race action from Newbury and Ayr (featuring the Ayr Gold Cup). Local band, ‘Trio Gitan’ provides the musical entertainment.
