Wetherby Racecourse, Unbridled Excitement, Unforgettable Moments

This #groundsweek we are celebrating the hard work of our groundstaff who work tirelessly to ensure our track and grounds are well maintained and in tip-top condition! 🌱

📸 Ian Foster is one of our longest serving groundstaff. Here he can be seen rebuilding one of our Steeple Chase fences, filling it with birch before trimming it down to the correct height.

Thank you for all your hard work Neal, Ian, Marcus, Matt, Jack, Phil and Les 👏

📷 Kicking off #groundsweek by introducing the newest (although not so new anymore!) member of our groundstaff team...Matt.

Matt joined in September last year and has quickly become an integral part of the team. Matt says his favourite part of the job is working in the great outdoors in beautiful Yorkshire and of course the great team he gets to work with!

As part of our support towards Brain Tumour Awareness month, we will be hosting our annual Flat Cap Course Walk, on Friday 21st March 2025.

This provides the opportunity to walk our hallowed turf with our Clerk of the Course and Head Groundsman to find out what goes into preparing the ground and fences before a raceday!

Volunteers from @yorkshirebtc will be here joining in and will be available for a chat over a cuppa when we go into the weighing room for a Behind the Scenes look! 👀

There is no charge to attend, but we will be requesting donations on the day to the Charity.

🐶 Well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome

To find out more about the course walk and how to join in, please visit the website or call the office on 01937 582035.

We are delighted to have Lindsey Burrow on site at the @yorkshireladieslinks event today. Lindsey is here to launch her book `Take Care` and all guests have the chance to meet Lindsey and take home a special signed copy of her book 🩵
