REDCAR Racecourse is helping to celebrate the “unsung heroes” of the sport by supporting Racing Staff Week.

The national showcase of the importance of racing staff – organised by the Racing Welfare charity and sponsored by Betfair – is in its ninth year in 2025.

A range of events and activities will be taking place between June 21 and 27, and Redcar will be playing its part on Ladies’ Day, with goody bags being given away to a stable staff representative in each of the seven races.

The goody bags have been donated by Market Cross Jewellers, with the name of the winning stable staff member being drawn out of a hat.

Redcar general manager Amy Fair said: “Stable staff are the unsung heroes of our sport and without them there would be no racing, so we are delighted to be playing our part in Racing Staff Week.

“At Redcar, we support stable staff with cash prizes for the best turned out horse for every race run during the year, and we are grateful to Market Cross Jewellers for supplying the goody bags that help us celebrate this important week.”

At the end of the season, the stable staff member with the most best turned-out cash prizes, wins a shopping experience courtesy of Milbry Hill.
