Wednesday 2 June 2010

Redcar’s 7-race programme on Tuesday (June 8), scheduled to begin at 2-00 p.m., features the fourth qualifying race in The John Smith’s Redcar Straight-Mile Championship Series, a popular handicap series which culminates in a £25,000 Final on Saturday, October 2.

The Anderson Barrowcliff Handicap Stakes, a contest for three-year-olds over seven furlongs, is supported by one of the region’s leading firms of chartered accountants, financial and business advisers. Based at Thornaby, Anderson Barrowcliff are the racecourse’s accountants and long-standing sponsors.

 

Bob Champion, one of Tees Valley’s most famous sons, will be at Redcar as part of his 60:60 Charity Challenge – visiting all 60 of Britain’s racecourses in 60 days to raise funds for two specific charities – The Bob Champion Cancer Trust and The Injured Jockeys’ Fund. Bob rode Aldiniti to victory in one of the most famous Grand Nationals of all time, back in 1981. More information about Bob’s epic journey and how racegoers can join him and contribute to the charities, can be found on www.champions6060.org.uk

 

The giant screen situated opposite the main stands, will enable racegoers to follow all of the action.
