FRIDAY ACTION AT REDCAR

Monday 10 October 2011

Redcar’s season on the Flat continues with a seven-race programme on Friday (October 14), scheduled to start at 2-00 p.m

Redcar’s season on the Flat continues with a seven-race programme on Friday (October 14), scheduled to start at 2-00 p.m. with a handicap contest over one mile and a quarter for lady amateur riders, The Follow RedcarRacing On Facebook & Twitter Stakes, while the sixth running of The Sam Hall Memorial Handicap Stakes over one mile and three-quarters commemorates the great Yorkshire trainer, who passed away in 1977. He trained over 1,000 winners during an illustrious career which began in 1949, achieving a lot of success at Redcar, including winning the Zetland Gold Cup on four occasions.

The European Breeders’ Fund support a race for maiden two-year-olds over six furlongs, while regular sponsors, Market Cross Jewellers put their name to the afternoon’s Claiming race – a contest for two-year-olds over seven furlongs.

As usual, the giant screen situated opposite the stands will enable racegoers to see even more of the action on the track.

Going into this meeting, the course’s top trainer and jockey awards for the season – based on a points system for winners and places obtained - are led by Tim Easterby and Paul Hanagan respectively. At this meeting last year, Hanagan rode three winners and he went on to become the UK’s Champion Jockey for the first time. The Malton-based rider is ahead in the race this season in his quest to claim back-to-back national titles.
