Read on to see what Emma Binnion, Sales & Marketing Manager, has to say about the day…

Cheltenham festival fashion on show at Catterick Races for Countryside Day season finale!

The final meeting of Catterick Racecourse’s 2018/19 National Hunt season will take place on Wednesday 6 March, Countryside Day. The gates will be open to the public from 12.20pm, with the first race due to take place at 2.20pm and the last race at 5.20pm.

There is a packed card on offer, with seven races scheduled on the day, including The Support Jack Berry House Novice’s Hunter’s Steeple Chase, open to amateur riders, scheduled for 4.50pm.

In addition, ahead of the racing action, racegoers can enjoy a fashion show, presented by local country store Millbry Hill, which will showcase a selection of Cheltenham Festival outfits and styles. The show will take place at the Winner’s Enclosure at approximately 1.45pm.

Emma Binnian, Sales & Marketing Manager said:

“It’s fantastic to have Millbry Hill joining us to showcase some of their favourite Cheltenham Festival styles on Countryside Day! Although Catterick’s Jump Season will be coming to an end, the racing world is gearing up for one of its biggest meetings of the season and the fashion stakes are always high.”

Millbry Hill Country Store will also have a trade stand at the course on the day.

Furthermore, Catterick’s Champion Owner, Trainer and Jockey for the 2018/19 Jumps season will be presented with their prizes in between races on the day. The Champion Owner & Trainer series has been kindly sponsored by The Black Bull Inn again this year, and each will receive a voucher for a three-course meal at the pub, just 5 miles from the racecourse. The Champion Jockey series has been generously sponsored by Millbry Hill Country Store who, in addition to having given each winning jockey throughout the season a £20 voucher, will present the Champion Jockey with a voucher for a pair of Fairfax & Favor shoes of their choice.

This fixture also provides a final opportunity for racing fans to enter the #SteeplechaseSelfie competition. Racegoers simply need to visit the section of steeplechase fence by the Parade Ring and send their selfies to the racecourse on social media to be in with a chance of winning a pair of tickets to a future race meeting at Catterick Races.

As with all of Catterick’s fixtures accompanied under 18’s are admitted free of charge, and a big screen will be at the course on the day to give racegoers the best views of all the action.

A free shuttle bus will bring racegoers from Richmond Market Place to the racecourse approximately and hour before the first race and will return after the last race.

Following Countryside Day on Wednesday 6 March, Catterick Racecourse will close to allow time for redevelopment works to take place to the Parade Ring and Weighing Room. The course will then re-open for the start of the 2019 Flat season on Monday 17 June with a newly enlarged Parade Ring, incorporating a new Winner’s Enclosure, and a fully refurbished Weighing Room providing state of the art facilities and jockey’s warm-up area.
