REDCAR Races showed its support for Teesside's steelworkers today.
Two Save Our Steel races were staged as part of the Totepool Two Year Old Trophy Day on Saturday.
Redcar's Labour MP Anna Turley presented the trophy to the winning owner of Return of the Mak, Peter Fahey, the horse winning the 1.50pm at a price of 6/1.

The second Save Our Steel race at 2.25pm was won by Out and About, the 11/10 favourite.
The Racecourse’s general manager, Amy Fair, said: “We are a local racecourse for local people.
"We hope that naming a race on our most prestigious race day of the season will help to highlight the Save Our Steel campaign, which is in support of not only the steelworkers but also those people whose jobs in other industries are under threat too.”
