- I wasn’t aware Frankie was actually paid appearance money to turn up. It’s so disappointing that for a sport that has given him so much and picked him up when he was at his lowest , he treats it with utter contempt.

They charge the least and put on excellent prize money. Just shows what can be done when a racecourse is managed correctly👏👏
With the aim of supporting Owners, Trainers, Jockeys & Stable Staff, we are pleased to announce for the remainder of 2024 we won’t be running a Hurdle or Chase below £9,000. All Bumpers will be run at £6,500.

Hexham doing all it can in the face of total lunacy from the regulator. It is regretful such measures are called for. I hope they sell out, but with admission for paddock from £12, it’s great value.
Because of the BHA’s Premierisation Project, three our our Saturday Meetings will be a Late Afternoon start.
We have decided to open gates at 1pm for you to enjoy racing from Premier Fixtures on TV’s before the live action starts on course.

Ray Green, a great supporter of northern racing, has selflessly sponsored the Colin Parker since its inception. No company in the race title, just “The Colin Parker Memorial Intermediate Steeple Chase”. A class act and I’m sure we’ll all think of Colin today.

When they were off … clever move. Horse hits human = both could be killed. You in-compassionate fuckwits. Piss off, get a job, some deodorant and a life instead of trying to disrupt those who are doing it better.

Despite The Jockey Club's claim that the horses safety is paramount, they decided to start the race DESPITE KNOWING THAT A PROTESTER WAS ON THE TRACKS. Another sickening display of profit >

3 comments already all negative. I think Geoff Banks is a complete cretin, but I’d return the readies to him if it was wrong. The attitude of these “want it all” punters is horrid and demonstrates the total lack of common decency in society as a whole.
