REDCAR’S 2010 SEASON ENDS ON FRIDAY

Monday 11 October 2010

Redcar’s 2010 season on the Flat comes to a resounding conclusion this Friday (October 15), with a seven-race programme scheduled to start at 2-00 p.m. The meeting has attracted a bumper number of 272 entries at the five-day stage.

The opening race is a handicap contest over one mile and a quarter for lady amateur riders, The Follow Redcar Racing On Facebook Stakes, while the fifth 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 two-year-old maiden fillies 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 final meeting of Redcar’s campaign, the course’s top trainer and jockey awards for the season – based on a points system for winners and places obtained - are led by Richard Fahey and Silvestre de Sousa respectively.

Redcar’s 18-day 2011 season begins on Monday, April 18, and details of the 2011 Annual Badge scheme will soon be available. Becoming an Annual Badgeholder at Redcar includes entry to all 18 fixtures in 2011 and entry to a number of meetings at other racecourses, along with a selection of Yorkshire County Cricket Club fixtures.
