On Sunday 8th September, three members of the Racecourse management team completed the Great North Run, running a half-marathon to raise awareness and fundraise for Spinal Research, a charity with a long-standing association with Wetherby Racecourse.
Thanks to their efforts and to the support they received from colleagues, family and friends, including many Wetherby Racegoer who sponsored them via their Just Giving Page, purchased raffle tickets or dropped some cash into donation buckets back in June, they managed to raise a staggering £7,308.00!
Michelle, Maddy & Sara would like to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who gave so generously to help this amazing charity fund a cure for those living with paralysis.

THE TIMEFORM VIEW ENVIOUS EDITOR ran another solid race in defeat whilst having little chance behind an enterprisingly-ridden winner at Market Rasen 18 days ago. He looks worth another chance off his revised mark, with chase debutant Jagwar and the returning Jet Plane heading up the dangers. Vintage Fizz is another in with a shout if defying a lesser effort at Worcester 7 weeks ago.

THE TIMEFORM VIEW An interesting small-field handicap with the tentative vote going to SCHMILSSON He was progressing nicely in this sphere prior to disappointing on his handicap debut at Stratford when last seen and strikes as the sort to bounce back on this return to action, especially with his stable amongst the winners. Tintintin and Allmankind are feared most in that order
