2013 Season

The 2013 season has been another memorable one at Worcester, with some superb racing across our 21 fixtures. Record crowds visited us on some of our feature race days, including another glamorous Ladies Evening, two Family Fun Day's featuring Peppa Pig and Fireman Sam, and the award winning Pershore Plum Festival, which has just picked up the award for the best Worcestershire festival for the third year running!

Jonjo O'Neill picked up both the leading stable staff award and leading trainer award, A P McCoy is pictured below collecting the leading trainer award on behalf of Jonjo at our final fixture. The special award for stable staff, open to yards with less than 30 horses in training, went to Sarah Jayne Davies' yard, Jeremy Mahot is pictured below collecting the award on behalf of Sarah.


McCoy has been stealing the headlines of late with his run up to 4,000 winners, 'Transfer' (pictured winning at our October 10th fixture) just one of the 3,998 winners to his name currently. Two winners from his three rides this afternoon at Exeter will see him cross that 4,000 mark.

McCoy's decorated career includes 263 winners here at the Pitchcroft course, putting us 2nd on his list of course winners, only 1 behind Newton Abbott.



The racecourse team would like to thank you for visiting us during another brilliant season at the home of summer jumps racing!
