Two race meetings this week at Bettyville Park on Wednesday afternoon and Ladies Day on Thursday evening and early ticket sales are still open.
Wednesday’s card comprises entirely of seven steeplechases while there are eight races on Thursday evening – seven over hurdles and an INH Flat Race. There is also a race confined to lady riders.
This is a marvellous opportunity to enjoy midsummer racing. The cards are as follows;
