Hope Against Cancer, Leicestershire and Rutland’s local cancer research charity is delighted and honoured to be hosting our 20th Anniversary Race Evening here at Leicester Racecourse.
Today is dedicated to the many people we call our Hope Heroes. That is:
- Our dedicated researchers, fighting cancer right here right now.
- Our caring and supportive nurses at the Hope Cancer Trial Centre, keeping local cancer patients comfortable and reassured.
- And of course, those wonderful people, who having been on their own cancer journey, who choose to use this experience to raise vital funds to help us.
You join us this year as we mark the Charity’s 20th anniversary. Over our 20 years your support has helped us to Discover, Deliver and Share Hope against cancer in the following ways:
• Discovering - Funding over 100 original research projects with our partners at the local universities and hospitals.
• Delivering - Building the world-class Hope Cancer Trials Centre, which has now had more than 30,000 patient attendances since 2012.
• Sharing - Helping dozens of new cancer treatments come into use and helping nurture a new generation of cancer treatment specialists.
And you are directly helping make all this possible by participating in Hope’s 20th Anniversary Race Evening – Thank You!
I hope you have an enjoyable experience whilst also helping us raise vital funds for continuing local cancer research. We have recently committed a minimum of £1 million additional funding over the next five years to help ensure the expansion of Leicester’s Biomedical Research Centre.

Horse Welfare at Leicester Racecourse
At every meeting at Leicester Racecourse there are two specially-qualified equine vets appointed to look after the welfare of all horses in action. During the race one vet will be following the runners and can attend to a horse in the same response time as the Paramedic Teams responsible for treating injured jockeys The second vet is based below the stewards box in the grandstand, is in radio contact with his colleague following the runners, and can respond immediately to any uncovered emergency. In addition there is a third vet, a British Horseracing Authority Veterinary team and the stewards
The Racecourse also employs a specialist Horse Ambulance Team, equipped with a modern equine ambulance to enable injured horses to be transported safely to a veterinary hospital for treatment. It is now standard practice for screens to be erected around any horse receiving veterinary attention on the course This does not reflect on the severity of an injury, but allows the vet some privacy in which to administer treatment and provides the horse with a calm environment in which to make a recovery. Please do not assume the worst if you see screens erected around a fallen horse
