THE JOCKEY CLUB
WELCOMES YOU
Welcome to Huntingdon Racecourse.
Welcome to Huntingdon Racecourse for our final meeting of our season. This is a chance to reflect on a great season here, and celebrate those that have been most successful. I would like to take this chance to thank our sponsors, Northmores, for their generous support of today’s seven races.
Looking back, it has certainly been a jumps season to remember. The Grade Two Fitzdares Peterborough Chase was won in spectacular fashion by First Flow, a second win in the race for trainer Kim Bailey, and first for jockey David Bass. We have had a whole host of horses winning at the racecourse throughout the season and would like to say congratulations to each and every winning owner, trainer, jockey and stable staff. I would like to take this time to thank our sponsors of the Huntingdon Racecourse Trainers and Jockeys Championships, Fairfax Saddles. Each of the three leading jockeys will receive one full set of Fairfax Race Exercise Kit, whilst the leading trainer will receive five full sets, the second will receive three full sets and the third will receive one full set.
I would like to congratulate Ciaran Gethings, Paddy Brennan and Tom Scudamore who, before racing today, are our top three leading jockeys of the season. Fergal O’Brien is leading the trainer’s championship, with Dan Skelton and Gary Moore hot on his heels. These prizes will be presented following the last race today. Away from the racing, please explore the site to enjoy a host of activities in recognition of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee which we are celebrating today. There is something for all the family, with Crown Workshops, Inflatable Fun and Games and Pony Hop Racing. Head down to Lentons Lawn at the front of the racecourse to enjoy these free activities. Looking ahead, tickets are now on sale for when our season kicks off again on 4 October, until the end of 2022. This includes the exciting Peterborough Chase Raceday and one of our most-loved fixtures, Boxing Day at the Races. Tickets are available via our website, or from our office today. We are extremely thankful for your patience as we continue to improve our facilities. Hurdles is the last facility nearing end of completion, but we are delighted that all other areas are now open, with a number of outdoor food concession units in addition for you to choose from. I hope that you have a fantastic time at Huntingdon today, and wish the horses and their connections the very best of luck.
