ARC Racing Welfare Malton Open Day
Sunday 10th September 2023
Racing Welfare, organisers of the annual Malton Stables Open Day, have this year partnered with York Racecourse to deliver the ultimate racing day out for all the family.
Horseracing fans have an exciting opportunity to meet Julie Camacho’s dual Group 1-winning sprinting sensation, Shaquille, on Sunday 10th September as the Malton trainer opens her yard to the public for the annual ARC Malton Open Day. The day forms part of the wider National Racehorse Week initiative and is organised by racing’s human welfare charity, Racing Welfare.
During the morning, 11 racehorse trainers across the historic racing town will throw open their doors to welcome the public behind-the-scenes to meet the horses and the staff that look after them, with recent local winners including Richard Fahey’s Spirit Dancer (a Group 3 winner at York’s Ebor meeting last weekend) and Nigel Tinkler’s Roundhay Park, plus Shaquille’s ever-popular 18-time winning stablemate, Judicial. Thanks to a new partnership with York Racecourse for 2023, visitors will then be invited to continue their family day out at the racecourse’s YorkMix Family Sunday Raceday, where potentially they will follow some of the equine stars from stable to racetrack.
York Racecourse are offering record prize-money for their seven-race card and will be joined by popular children’s character, Bluey, with appearances at intervals throughout the day. The additional fun of the day is focused on the younger generation featuring the Entertainment Marquee which is home to free bouncy castles and free face painting.
Combined entry for visitors to the Malton Open Day is being offered as part of the ongoing support by York Racecourse of racing’s human welfare charity, Racing Welfare. Proceeds from ticket sales will go towards the charity’s wide-ranging support services for everyone working in the industry.
