WELCOME TO SALISBURY RACECOURSE

Welcome to Salisbury Racecourse for our mid-May Thursday race meeting, traditionally always the same day as the featured ‘Dante’ at York. Today would have been our third race meeting of the season, but actually is only our second. We unfortunately had to cancel a Sunday fixture eleven days ago as the track was just too wet, after several periods of heavy rain. Anyway, despite that disappointment, we are very pleased to be welcoming our customers, owners, and industry colleagues (both two-legged and fourlegged) back racing once again. One of the races we lost on the 7th May, has been re-scheduled as our highlight today, the Fillies’ Conditions Stakes, which will be televised on ITV4. It is kindly sponsored by our house gin partner, Highclere Castle. Our thanks to Lord & Lady Carnarvon for their support, and to all our other race sponsors and supporters, including Norman Court Stud, who are new for this year We are also pleased to name a race after the local branch of the RNLI who are fundraising today.

The next race meeting at Salisbury is the first of our music nights on Saturday 27th May. The racing will be followed by the lively Massoake band. More details of this and all other racedays on our website –salisburyracecourse.co.uk

Thank you again for coming today. The directors and staff hope that you have an enjoyable afternoon.

Best Wishes

Jeremy Martin

Executive Director & Clerk of the Course
