HORSERACING enthusiasts are in for a treat with a whole host of equine attractions at Malton Open Day on September 15.
The North Yorkshire area is one of the most prominent and historic racing centres in the UK, and 13 yards in and around Malton will welcome visitors to meet the equine residents, alongside their trainers and staff.
Yards will open from 8.45am until noon and racing superstars on show include this year’s Acomb winner Valdermoro, whom the public will have the chance to meet alongside Richard Fahey’s other star turns at his Musley Bank yard. T
These include the Group 2 winning Forest Ranger, Royal Ascot winner Space Traveller and the promising two-year-old Show Me Show Me, making Fahey’s impressive base a must to visit on the day.
Fans of the Jumps shouldn’t miss the chance to meet top dual-purpose trainer Brian Ellison, who welcomes visitors to Spring Cottage Stables again this year.
A full programme of family entertainment follows at Highfield Gallops in the afternoon, featuring the return of the ever-popular Linton Pet Shop dog show
Lucy Miller, Racing Welfare’s Regional Welfare Manager for the North, said “This year’s Malton Open Day is jam-packed with family entertainment and we’re all set for a fantastic day." Visit maltonopenday.co.uk for ticket details.
