WELCOME TO SALISBURY RACECOURSE

Welcome to Salisbury Racecourse for our Father’s Day Race Meeting.

It is always a great pleasure for us to have these family themed race days, when we see our future generation of racegoers joining their parents for a day out at the races. Racing has been taking place at Salisbury since at least 1584, which is four hundred and thirty-nine years ago, so by coming to Salisbury today, you are supporting a racecourse with a long and interesting history.

There are 7 races to enjoy this afternoon including the opening race for apprentice jockeys - the second in the five race series at Salisbury which has run for over thirty years. Several of the sport’s current leading jockeys will have participated in this series in the early stages of their careers.

It’s the Royal meeting at Ascot next week, which everyone involved in the sport greatly looks forward to, either by attending or watching on television. Hopefully, we might see a previous Salisbury winner or two successful at the meeting.

Once again, thank you for coming racing at Salisbury this afternoon. The directors and staff greatly appreciate your support, and we look forward to welcoming you back again soon. The list of our fixtures is on the back of the racecard and more details are on the website – salisburyracecourse.co.uk

Best Wishes

Jeremy Martin Executive Director & Clerk of the Course
