Catterick’s season on the Flat continues with a seven-race programme on Saturday (September 20), 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 BAPP Group of Companies Handicap Stakes, which constitutes the 2014 Catterick Twelve Furlong Series Final – a £20,000 Handicap contest over one mile and a half. Now in its second year, there have been qualifying races in this Series from when the course’s campaign on the Flat began in April. 

Two-year-olds contest The ETS 30th Anniversary Nursery Handicap Stakes over seven furlongs, supported for the first time by ETS (UK) Ltd., while the same distance applies in The  Pin Point Recruitment Maiden Stakes, supported by the Newcastle-based company who are regular sponsors at Catterick.

 The Tony Gargan Handicap Stakes is a race for three-year-old stayers over almost one mile and three-quarters. 

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). The raceday shuttle bus is in operation from Richmond town centre.
