BRITISH JUMP RACING SUMMER HIGHLIGHT COMING UP IN LINCOLNSHIRE

FROM MARKET RASEN RACECOURSE

The annual highlight of jump racing in Britain over the summer is approaching at Market Rasen Racecourse … Saturday is Betfred Summer Plate & Lincs FM Ladies’ Day.
Four times in the past seven years the largest attendance of the year at the Lincolnshire racecourse has been recorded during Ladies’ Day in July.
Not only are there seven races including two on Channel 4 – the Betfred Summer Plate and Betfred Summer Hurdle – visitors can also enjoy fashion shows from Ladida Boutique, live music from Marc Dillon and local Duo Molly & Will.
Race-goers are already getting ready for the ‘best dressed’ and ‘best hat’ competitions sponsored by The Health Management Trust. There are great prizes to be won and the judging panel includes the racecourse’s ‘Face of Ladies Days’, Lincolnshire photographer Phillipa Buss.
There is no need for spectators to rush away at the end of the afternoon for Lincs FM DJ Alex Cann will be holding an Après Racing party after the last race.
