HAVE

A RACE IN YOUR VERY OWN NAME!!!

Did you know you could celebrate a special occasion with a race named after a friend or relative – for example

‘The John and Joan 40th Wedding Anniversary Maiden Stakes’ or ‘The John Smith 30th Birthday Handicap Stakes’.

It’s a great way to enjoy a day out with brilliant memories and you can combine it with hospitality in a private suite or a meal in the restaurant. You can come down to the Parade Ring and choose the ‘Best Turned Out’ horse and also present a prize to the winning owner before enjoying a post-race glass of bubbly. The package also includes photographs of your day and a mention in the racecard and on the big screen.

For more details, please email General Manager Kevin Hire –khire@arenaracingcompany.co.uk
