Redcar Racecourse has been awarded the coveted gold standard for its commitment to giving owners and trainers a memorable raceday experience.

Redcar has received the accolade from Racehorse Owners Association (ROA) a month ahead of the new flat season starting at the popular seaside track on April 7.

The course received an owner feedback rating of 4.8 out of 5, with general manager Amy Fair paying tribute to the Redcar team for their hard work in looking after owners and trainers.

“Without the investment of owners, we wouldn’t have the sport we all love, so it’s vital that we give them an enjoyable and comfortable experience when they come to see their horses run,” said Amy.

“The team try really hard to look after owners, so we are delighted to see that effort endorsed with the gold award from the ROA.”

Louise Norman, Chief Executive of the ROA, commented: "The ROA is delighted to recognise a record number of gold standard racecourse awards for 2024. This is a testament to the commitment of racecourses to ensure owners enjoy a premium experience at the races, and we extend our congratulations.”
