Salisbury Racecourse - Sunday 13th June

WELCOME TO SALISBURY RACECOURSE A warm welcome to Salisbury particularly if you are attending for the first time this year.

Today is our third race meeting with racegoers back and the sixth race meeting of our season so far. It looks set to be another very pleasant day with warm sunshine forecasted. All the racecourse team have been saying how good it is to see customers back around the enclosures.

We continue to be limited on numbers permitted to attend, and there are certain rules that we all have to follow. Thank you for your co-operation complying with those regulations – maintaining social distancing, face masks where required, hand hygiene, and sitting for your food and drink consumption.

Our featured Cathedral Stakes race today is kindly sponsored by the European Breeders’ Fund. This race took place at Goodwood last year, as Salisbury didn’t race until July 2020, but two years ago resulted in a dead-heat finish. Many thanks also to Byerley Stud, Mildren Construction, and Graham Fitch who are all contributing to the prize money of their sponsored races. Mildren Construction completed the new Paddock Bar in March 2020, so it is good to see it finally in use! Mildren support WaterAid, a charity with teams in some of the poorest countries across the world, working to transform millions of lives every year, by improving access to clean water. For more information visit wateraid.org Enjoy your day and we look forward to seeing you again soon. Our next racing here at Salisbury is Bibury Cup Day, sponsored by Whitsbury Manor Stud, on Wednesday 23rd June.

Best wishes, Jeremy Martin Executive Director & Clerk of the Course
