Wetherby’s season over Jumps continues next Tuesday (February 17) when racing is scheduled to start at 2-20 p.m. 

Members of the Racing UK Racing Club will be in attendance, with four races named after the dedicated racing channel which shows all of the action from Wetherby. 

Accident Management company, Kingsway Claims support racing for the first time at Wetherby by sponsoring a Handicap Chase over two miles, while The European Breeders’ Fund and The Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association combine to support a Novices’ Handicap Chase for mares over the extended two and three-quarter miles. 

Wetherby badge-holder, Shaun Fountain – a publican from Barwick in Elmet – is sponsoring a race for novice hurdlers to celebrate his forthcoming marriage to Debbie.  

Going into this meeting, Sue Smith (based near Bingley) is Wetherby’s leading trainer this season, while the top jockey so far this term is Dougie Costello. 

The giant screen situated opposite the stands will enable racegoers to see even more of the action.
