CROWDS INVITED TO GO BEHIND THE SCENES AT EPSOM’S HISTORIC RACING CENTRE

The local racing community in Epsom are gearing up to welcome hundreds of attendees to the annual Epsom Open day on Sunday 11th September as part of National Racehorse Week – a celebration of the racehorse and a chance to see first-hand the love, care and attention that goes into looking after them.

Sunny Epsom Open Day draws in the crowds

Visitors flocked to Epsom on a sun-drenched Bank Holiday Monday yesterday (26th August), descending on the training centre to enjoy looking around the yards of seven trainers based in town.  Organised by Racing Welfare, the morning saw a strong crowd of families and racing fans gather at Epsom’s gallops from 8.30am, where ITV Racing’s Rishi Persad interviewed the local trainers as their strings cruised up past an enthusiastic audience.
